Best thing
I like the regulars at my job and making drinks.
Worst thing
I hate the drama and how promises were made but never kept. I’m always on floor by myself even during a rush.

Best thing
I like the work and making coffee, I think that part is fun. I like being able to have early day hours.
Worst thing
My team. Everyone is very rude and they spread rumors about each other over silly things. Management never takes the sides of people who are trying to make a difference, and over all people come to work hating there jobs because of other people. It’s gotten to the point where more and more people are either putting in there two weeks or about to.
