Pros

I love all of my fellow employees. Great discounts. Some awesome regulars.

Cons

The customers, with the exception of some regulars, can be just plain rude. Many come in with the intention of complaining and telling us how much we are doing wrong and how much they hate the restaurant. Better communication through management also needs to be put in place
