Pros

My fellow co-workers dislike most of the customers as much as I do so we get along well talking about that and our lives when it's slow. They are all very helpful and will make sure you do well ringing, just be sure to ask all the questions you have. Also, I really like the ringing speeds being posted because a little competition is fun.

Cons

A lot of the customers will come and look down on us or treat us worse than they would if we worked at say a Target because we do sell things at a discount. They also really like to try and say something was marked lower than it actually is or try and get more of a discount on a "damaged good".
