Staff discount, good rate of pay for the role I do, paid breaks, mostly friendly customers

If you work an 8 hour shift, only 7.5 hours is paid regardless.

The team I work with

Unhappy customers

Free products sometimes at end of shift

Customers can be a bit inappropriate at times

Good breaks, nice workmates, steady shifts

Can he very repetitive. People treat you like a means to an end , not a person

Love working with our team, all lovely and friendly, for the most part lovely customers who are always happy to see me smiling, talking to customers and colleagues regularly throughout my shift

Angry customers

On my feet

Hours to duit

Doing management jobs on less pay

Friendly colleagues and customers. Near to home. Job is not difficult. Great perks with a colleague discount

Lacking of staffing. Occasionally dangerous with the thieving from shoplifters. Unsocial hours, at times

My co-workers

Knowing that the business I work for
is caring more about pleasing communities than their being there for their workforce, being ageist, wasting millions of £££ in plastic cardboard display and wrapping which is not recycled. Also promoting being ethical whilst being the most unethical ever

The pay

The shift patterns,

The customers always enjoy having a talk with you after all that may be the only time they may get to talk to someone as they could be alone at home and just being there to talk to them brightens up their day. Helping customers on a daily basis with simple enquiries and helping them to get the things they need.

Some customers can be extremely rude but just don’t say anything and don’t react cause it will only make the situation worst. People on their phones while you are serving is just so rude and then they get annoyed when you ask them a question again while they are on the phone. Sometimes the management team can work alright but sometimes they can be lazy and don’t work
