How do I adapt to working environment?

So today is my 2nd day at chipotle and working in the line is really hot and demanding on my legs and lower back. I came home today with my legs completely exhausted, back is sore from standing like 4 hrs straight. And halfway through my shift i got pretty badly dehydrated and felt dizzy and a bit nauseous so i had to take water break and sit down for 10 minutes while constantly drinking water before feeling better. What are some ways I can adapt to workin in the kitchen faster? The dehydration part kills me and i drank around 40 ounces of water already since my water break but i'm still feeling a bit funny.

Like I haven't eaten in 7 hours but I don't have an apetite. This is strange for me so I don't know whats up. Any way I can adapt to my working environment in a hot kitchen faster? Thanks

    1. Wear "nurses" shoes or good walking shoes. Those cute shoes will only make the pain worse.

    2. Wear support hose. Yes, even if you are young. It helps A LOT to keep the leg pain minimal.

    3. Drink water before, after and during work.

    4. Relax. Stress of a new job, especially in fast food service, can cause anxiety.

    5. Rejoice: you have a job! Good for you.
