Best thing
The different people and the regular ones that come in to shop people I work with at night bearing in mind I work one and one ( me and one other person for 9 hours )
Worst thing
Having to be one on one all night no matter how busy it get with customers shoplifters deliverys and any other incerdents that may happen the amount of work that just gets left for nights to do and I don't mean just what you would expect area managers and head office thinking they know best when some of them probably never worked in a shop
Not being able to have proper brakes or loo brakes because of the one on one thing lack of professionalism don't me as having a joke with people as in the clicks there and if you don't get on or feels they don't like you not calling you to everyone they probably are. Coop only like to improve yes people for team leader and management because now of them have back bone when the area manager want to change shoppl around but you know it won't work because of space or thief's.Central England Co-operative Food Customer service assistant, November 2023
