      Pros

      They offer part-time and full-time shifts, which can work around school or other jobs. • Employee discounts: You usually get discounts on food, drinks, and merchandise. • Team environment: If your store had good coworkers or supportive managers, that’s a plus. • Entry-level opportunities: Good for first-time workers or those looking to gain customer service experience. • Fast-paced learning: You can develop multitasking, cash handling, and customer service skills quickly

      Cons

      Low pay: Starting wages can feel underwhelming for the amount of work. Physically demanding: Standing for long shifts, stocking, and cleaning can be tiring. High-stress environment: Dealing with difficult customers, theft, or long lines can be frustrating. Inconsistent management: Some managers might be unorganized
