    -Pointless breaks,long shifts
    -Getting half hour less than 6hrs to avoid getting a break
    -Having to train people when It's not my job ontop of having to continue to work at normal pace at the same time then being responsible for said person when they do things wrong
    -hard to change shifts that aren't possible to do/need altering
    -20 jobs for 1 person
    -Never leaving on time
    -Customers (there's a lot of rude ones)
    -constantly understaffed
    -it's bare minimum training so you basically go in blind and learn on the job but expected to know what to do
