Cons
Time Management is Key and Prioritizing your daily work. Great job for a student or someone seeking temporary work, Low Wages / Minimum Wage, Can be stressful, Can become boring day in day out. Can easily incur customer complaints for stupid things out of your control like unavailable products, out of a product, not agreeing with customers, failure to produce a product exactly right. If you have a cool / laidback supervisor your day wont be too bad, however if you're supervisor is a lifer or someone trying to climb the chain you're gonna be hauling all day. Days can get aggravating when getting yelled at by a supervisor, getting yelled at by the manager, and then getting yelled at again by the supervisor after he gets yelled at by the manager. Life all food service, hard work, and low paying jobs older employees often are bitter and expect things their way and younger employees will be laid back and most likely don't care. Best advice is to be friendly and treat all employees with respect, give second chances, If you're getting bullied by experienced lifer employees have a talk with them in private instead of talking back, ignoring them, or continuing to not hear them out.
