Pros

-not really much to report on

Cons

- I wasn't allowed to use the bathroom more than once during a shift - I wasn't allowed to keep a water bottle at my till, even during 8 hour shifts when I made it clear to my manager that I had a medical condition that I needed it for (they'd rather the person with POTS just faint I guess) - Was asked to dye my hair and wear bandages over piercings, and long clothes over tattoos, even though I've never seen another location do this with their employees. The bandages threw customers off more than the nose ring. - Was often called and asked to come in during hours I told them I couldn't work - When I quit I was told I "couldn't do that" - I was reprimanded when an older customer said he could see through my shirt, uniform shirt keep in mind. The customer wasn't told that he shouldn't have been staring at a 19 year old's chest, but I got written up for distressing him with the fact that I have nipples I guess. - There was also the time I got a customer review saying I was "the most miserable person in the world" because I didn't say hello "politely and enthusiastically" enough - I experienced them "forget" to schedule a coworker for 3 weeks and then fire them for not meeting required hours. - They asked me to come work during a hurricane, I said I didn't have a car and the busses weren't working, the manager came to my apartment in her jeep. - I'm probably forgetting other stuff but I've blocked it out mostly. - transphobic and racist management Bad, 0/10, awful for mental and physical health
