  • Best thing

    I actually like making the blizzards (except royals) and the peanut buster parfait. The daytime staff is also really friendly and understanding.

    Worst thing

    *Those* customers (that’s to be expected though). Again, I hate making royal blizzards.

  • Best thing

    The flexible schedule

    Worst thing

    We have to stay late to clean up, and we are pressured to get out quickly because they don’t want to pay us extra, but also to do a thorough cleaning job, and it’s hard to do a good cleaning job when they want you out in 20 minutes

  • Best thing

    My boss does does actually work every day with us over lunch rush which gives me respect for her, my supervisors are nice and rarely disrespectful to me, and it is a very easy job

    Worst thing

    The repetition of doing the same exact things every day is very degrading, very transphobic and homophobic attitudes of some coworkers, it's so easy to call in sick most people don't get their shift covered, some employees were so poorly trained all they do is stand around and not thing gets done, the boss is well aware of people who call in sick everyday or don't contribute and she does nothing to help, and the customer around here also just treat you like the help
