• Best thing

  The people are amazing, the hours suit me and the management listen.
  The discounts are fab too, and it keeps me active.

  Worst thing

  Customers can be incredibly nasty and hard to deal with (especially big tables of 8 or more)
  It is minimum rate of pay for your age which can be disheartening, considering the work we do.
