As a staff 1 your team will always assume you no idea what you are doing. So it is okay to mess up because they expect you to. As long as you get all lunch orders right and show effort, everyone will love you. Also, always ask questions. If you even thought about asking a question for a split second, just do it. They are expecting it.
