00:00Hi, I'm Riley. I live in the desert southwest and have a pretty unconventional life.
00:04For example, I'm homeschooled and have a YouTube channel with my two sisters
00:08and try to embrace everything that life throws at me.
00:11Well, almost everything.
00:14In addition to my daily routine, you guys will be joining me on all sorts of adventures.
00:18We'll go horseback riding, explore nature, and visit local attractions.
00:21So let's go!
00:30Hey, guys. Welcome back to another episode of The Life of Riley.
00:33And in today's video, I'm super excited because today I'm going in to interview for a job at my favorite Shake Spa, HB Wellness.
00:39And you guys are going to be coming along with me.
00:40So I'm currently getting ready to go into HB Wellness and go do my interview.
00:45And I'm a little nervous, but I'm also really excited.
00:48I have special permission to take my camera in, and my mom's going to film me.
00:52Hi, you with me, Riley.
00:53Hi, nice to meet you.
00:54Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel.
00:55Nice to meet you.
00:56Thanks for coming in after hours.
00:57Let me grab my paperwork. Hold on.
01:00Okay, Riley.
01:02I'm glad you called.
01:04Okay, so Riley, right?
01:06Yes.
01:06And what's your last name?
01:07Melon.
01:08Melon.
01:08So I know I've seen you in here because you came in with your family, right?
01:11Yeah, my sisters.
01:12Your sisters?
01:13Yeah.
01:13And so you're applying for a job?
01:15Yeah.
01:15Okay, and you know we're really busy.
01:17Yes.
01:17Okay, so tell me a little bit about yourself.
01:21Well, I have two sisters, and I'm homeschooled, and I need something to do during the day, and I
01:27really would like to have a job because it'll give me something to do, and I really like
01:30working.
01:31Oh, awesome.
01:33Well, I know I've seen your mom and dad come in too, right?
01:35Because your whole family comes in.
01:36Yeah.
01:37And you're familiar that we make a lot of good changes.
01:39Yes.
01:39Okay.
01:40What are some of your strengths?
01:41Well, some of my strengths are that I have two sisters, so I know what it's like to
01:45work things out with people, and I love talking to people, and I'm really good at communicating.
01:52Awesome.
01:53I think you are.
01:53You're really good at that.
01:55Why do you want to work here, though?
01:56I really want to work at H.U. Wellness because everyone's super nice, and it just seems like
02:01a happy and healthy environment to work in.
02:03It is.
02:04Okay, so let me tell you a little bit about what the job entails.
02:08We have about 22 kids, they're all girls, one boy, and everybody works together.
02:15So everybody helps everybody, everybody sweeps, everybody makes a shake, everybody's going
02:21to learn to register, everybody cleans, everybody does everything, which is really good because
02:26then you actually become more valuable instead of learning this one thing.
02:31Here's what we're going to do.
02:33We don't just hire people, we give them a two-day training.
02:36So I'm going to have you come in tomorrow and dress casual and comfortable, and you're
02:43going to train for two days.
02:45So two shifts, basically, two three-hour shifts.
02:48And then tomorrow, you'll be training with me, so you'll be on the register a little bit,
02:53you're going to make some smoothies, and everybody does everything.
02:56So you're going to learn it all, like everybody does, and we don't like any drama.
03:02We have everybody getting along, and that works the best.
03:05And we have a great clientele of customers, which I know you'll really like.
03:09And you have really good energy, so I can tell you.
03:11So that'll be exciting.
03:12Do you have any questions for me?
03:14No.
03:14No?
03:14You ready to come tomorrow?
03:15Yes.
03:16Okay, so three o'clock tomorrow until six, that'll be your first shift, and then Tuesday
03:20will be the next shift.
03:21Okay.
03:22And then we'll see how you do.
03:23Okay.
03:23And then, you know, we'll either hire you or we won't.
03:25Okay.
03:26Okay.
03:26All right, guys, so it's now the next day, and Daniel told me to come back, and we're
03:31going to start training today, so I'm super excited.
03:33And my mom is just going to shadow me and film me doing what I'm supposed to do, so let's
03:38go.
03:39Hi, Riley.
03:50Hi.
03:51Good to see you.
03:52All right, I'm going to introduce you to a couple of people who work here.
03:55Grace, come over and say hi.
03:56This is Riley.
03:56She's training today.
03:57Hi, I'm Grace.
03:58Nice to meet you.
03:59This is Ethan.
04:00Hi.
04:00Nice to meet you.
04:01And this is Justin.
04:02Nice to meet you.
04:02Nice to meet you.
04:03Ethan helps out once in a while.
04:04He doesn't really work here, but he's helping us a lot, so it's really nice.
04:07So the first thing you do when you come in is you, right when you get behind the counter,
04:11you go right over to the sink behind Justin, and you wash your hands really good.
04:20Okay, so Riley, Grace is going to show you a lot of little things to do in between our
04:25brushes are going to be that you're going to fill ice or your stock cups and lids and
04:29straws, and then as people come and go, because that's how retail is, it's a whole bunch of
04:33people, and then it's quiet, and then there's a whole bunch of people.
04:35And so she's going to show you a couple of things to do.
04:38One of them now is going to be to fill up the ice buckets that we use to make shakes.
04:43Okay.
04:44Okay, so this is on top.
04:47You just sweep out the ice, and you're going to put them in these two buckets.
04:52Okay.
04:52So you can try.
04:53Okay.
04:57Okay.
04:58So, when there's a cup over here, you're going to grab it, and this is the shake that
05:05we're going to make, and it's for Erin.
05:07It has a big smiley face, and it's a white chocolate Reese's.
05:10Okay.
05:11Yum.
05:11Okay.
05:12So when you come over here, you're going to grab the ice scooper, and just stand it all
05:18the way up, and then we're going to bring it over here, and dump the top portion off, and
05:25then you're going to fill the rest with water, and then in the white chocolate Reese's is going
05:31to be vanilla stevia, and water scotch, and then you're going to do one scoop of pdm, which
05:42is peanut butter without the fat, and then you're going to come over here and grab this
05:48F1, which is putters and cream, and then this vanilla pdm, and you're going to do two
05:54spoons of both.
05:55Okay.
05:56And then once that's done, you're going to put the lid on, and then you're going to blend
06:01it.
06:02Okay.
06:03So then after that, you add some more water, and then you're just going to continue to
06:18do that.
06:19Okay.
06:20We have like a high and a low pulse, so you're just going to do that.
06:25Perfect.
06:26And then you put the lid on it.
06:40Perfect.
06:41And his shake is all done.
06:44So this is awesome.
06:45You're doing a great job.
06:46So after you learn how to make the smoothies, which you got to do with Grace, then we get
06:51the clean.
06:52Woo!
06:53That's fun.
06:54So the first thing you're going to do is you're going to turn on the hot water, and then
06:58you're going to rinse this a little bit.
06:59We grab these right here, this little brush.
07:03You're going to give it a good scrubbing, and then we put it in the disinfectant, which
07:08is here.
07:09So this one here, I'm going to have you do the same thing.
07:11You're going to swish it around, give it a good little wipe it down.
07:15And then as you dump it out, you'll scoop a little bit of soap in there.
07:20You kind of got to work it.
07:22You're going to get big muscles doing this.
07:24And then, yeah, get some soap in there.
07:27Give it a good cleaning.
07:28Make sure it's super duper clean.
07:30And then dip it in there and push it all the way down.
07:34And there it needs to sit for like five seconds.
07:36And then you can rinse this and put the lid in there.
07:39Yeah.
07:40And then you shut this off.
07:43And then when you pull it out, kind of shake it a little bit and put it up here.
07:47There you go.
07:48Perfect.
07:49Yeah.
07:50And then just set that right there.
07:52Awesome.
07:53And then they drip dry.
07:54And then when the customers come, and then you can grab a couple more of these and we
07:58put them down front.
07:59And then that way we're all ready when people come up.
08:02Okay, Riley.
08:03I put all this stuff in here to make the banana caramel with graham.
08:06So do you want to blend that?
08:07Yes, thanks.
08:28So I put them in the middle and then on top?
08:30Yeah.
08:33Okay guys, so I just got done with my first day and my feet don't look.
09:02Even though I was there for three hours and I think I did really well.
09:06And I'm super excited to come back tomorrow.
09:08So I'm going to go home, get some rest and probably go to bed early for day two tomorrow.
09:13So I'm really excited and I really hope they hire me.
09:15Now we're going to learn some registering.
09:16Okay, so you greet the customer and say hi and then you ask them what tea they'd like.
09:25Does she know what tea ordered to me today?
09:26On the cup, you'll put her name across the top.
09:32She named Fran, if I am.
09:35And we always do a smiley face or a happy something, a flower or you know, whatever.
09:42A heart, that's good.
09:43You're going to hit this top button there.
09:45And then you'll hit regular smoothie.
09:46Hit the pay button.
09:47And then you'll say whenever you're ready Fran, there will be some prompts on there for
09:52you to hit.
09:53And then when it's all done, the receipt will pop up here and you can always ask if they
10:00want their receipt.
10:01Don't you like the receipt?
10:02Okay, you're upset.
10:03Thanks Fran.
10:04Andrea, are you doing a big team?
10:05You guys doing a big one?
10:06Sure.
10:07Two?
10:08The mint chocolate is great.
