Best thing
Coworkers and making customers happy
Worst thing
Delivery not arriving which means you'll have to come back later. I'm alright with that but it's not good news if others don't want to come back later. Meaning, you'll be short of staff when delivery does arrive

Good working environment, I get on well with my staff as a whole and the money isn’t bad an hour.
Worst thing
The breaks could be longer than 30 min I would much prefer them to be an hour rather than 30 min.

Best thing
My main colleagues are great people, make friends with a few and get along great apart from most of the managers
Worst thing
Managers harassing sometimes. Pressuring. Always saying you're not doing your job when you're legit doing it right Infront of them. Managers on their phones instead of doing their jobs. Taking too much. They got favourites. They don't listen when you need help or take a long while before any action. Shop looks a mess. They don't leave you alone on your break. I have to go to my car now just so I can be left alone by the managers. They expect you to do everything. Basically, the managers the problem. Used to be okay untill the old ones got a promotion and it went down a very steep hill, if not a cliff from there.
