Pros

As a part-tim job on the side or as a temporary job (ex: student) this is a great job! You only have to claim your credit card tips, which means less taxes. I can normally make about $10 an hour in tips on average, so with the $6.00 an hour pay comes out pretty nice.

Cons

Be aware that you have responsibilities for helping clean the store at the end of your shift... and get paid $6.00 an hour to do it. You get a $1.00 per delivery for gas money, but that doesn't always cover the amount you pay out of gas because of high gas prices (but overall it tends to come out pretty even for me)
