Free or discounted foodWorst thing
Can be stressful at times. The people running the business don’t have a clue what’s going on in the shops in terms of how hard people are working. All they care about are the figures and not about the welfare of the staff or providing them with support. Personally in my shop I feel one extra staff member would change the whole environment of the shop to a more pleasant experience for staff and customers.

If you like to clean, then this job is for you. Work is pretty easy like making coffee which is fast.
Weekly pay is great!Worst thing
Carrying a heavy load of things like milk packs, boxes of cups and lids, juices, coffee beans etc.
You constantly need to be on your feet.
It’s never not busy, there is always a customer under 3-7 mins of quiet.
Your fingers could ache if you keep cleaning and could face a burn because of hot water or steamerPret A Manger Barista, August 2022
