Best thing
Free food on shift
Worst thing
Entitled managers who think they are better than you simple because they wear a different uniform or carry around a clipboard. My entire experience has been so stressful I’m exhausted and experiencing hair loss along with other medical issues as a direct result of working here , management simply do not care about you in the slightest unless you are one of their friends which can get away with anything. This isn’t all management but a vast majority of management has so little care , they have forced some of my co workers to stay for several hours into their shift even though they are sick

It can be stressful when it's busy; some customers are rude for no reason, but that comes with most retail/fast food jobs.
