A good amount they ask me if there is anything I need help with are assure me that I can go to them if I need support.

I think my apprenticeship helps me a lot it shows me how to deal with customers in a better manner and to show better body language and to make sure customers are supported and receive the best food and service.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
