- guenthert 4y agoI inquired at a local bakery and was told that the bakers start their shift at midnight (!) so that the products can be sold by 4 or 5am. Mad respect for all bakers!
- chizhik-pyzhik 4y agoI actually did this, I was laid off a few months ago and went to work at a bakery part-time. The shift wasn't crazy early, I was working 6-9am 3 days a week... this was still too early for me, I ended up moving to helping close up and prep for the next day, so 1-3pm or so. Working at a place like this is totally doable, so many bakeries and cafes are desperate for workers that are more competent than high school kids. The work is busy and technical but much lower stress than resolving on-call incidents.
