Attitude.

I'm not too sure about this girl at work at the moment. She's technically only work experience and is only 15 year old so I'm not sure why I have a blog-worthy opinion of her yet, but, anyway.

To work with, for me, is good really, better than most but she almost gets in the way. As in, I'll be doing something that I quite obviously do not need help with, for example I'll be doing something amazingly simple like melting chocolate, yet she will feel the need to jump in for me and do things such as closing the microwave door even though it's already in my hand or picking up the spatula which is already on the bench right next to me. It's not that I particularly dislike her for doing this, it's just that it makes things more time consuming than they need to be, and in hospitality the word time consuming in not recognised. It's quick or quicker, there is no "...I'll do it/be out in a minute..."

Towards the other two work experience kids is another story. She is the only one of them that has actually been employed before as they are only 15 years old- what did you expect?
Because of this she has grasped the general concept of a touch screen register etc a lot quicker than the others simply because althought the program we use is new, the whole concept is old. Whereas to the other two, it is a whole new concept, naturally she would pick it up quicker.
This does in no way mean she can demean the other two, or make them feel inferior because of it. She's getting a bit too big for her boots. Sure, she is better than the others, but for the same reason I am better then her and she would be mortified if I was to throw it in her face.

I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. I won't act the same way she is because I don't agree with it. It is never okay to intimidate people for the reasons she is. It's on par with publicaly degrading people purely to make yourself look better...but mostly because you're too unintelligent to actually make people laugh at something other than how 'pathetic' that person in the corner is.
