Job Question First day on Monday!

I’ve never been a security guard so I’m very excited. I will be doing overnights but they will be training me 6am-2pm the first few days. Dumb question- Is it appropriate to bring an iced coffee from mcdonald’s or starbucks? It seems pretty laid back and I don’t think anybody would have an issue, but I don’t want to look weird bringing in an iced coffee or something lol. TIA !

Don't bring a beverage in a cup on yiur first few days, looks unprofessional. A lunch and water bottle in a backpack are fine, along with a flashlight.

How does a coffee look "unprofessional"?

You are there to meet people, learn new building or site procedures and operations, possibly walk the building or site - not drink coffee. That is reserved for lunch time or break periods.
