Best thing
Tbh I love my job like yeah it's stressful but so is literally any job lol. Best things would be the people I work with, we all have such a laugh and it's great :) for the majority I love going to work
Worst thing
Minimum wage is crap for the amount of stress and hard work I put into every single shift like I'm training to be a manager and I'm still only on minimum wage even when I'm giving maximum effort so that kinda sucks. Also the staff can sometimes be cliquey but again I thi k that happens everywhere yanno
