      Pros

      Coworkers are cool, managers are real people who care about you, everyone likes to laugh and get to know each other. 20% off groceries. Rotate tasks every hour so nothing gets too redundant. It doesn't feel like working in a grocery store except when you're at the register. I would forget it's a service job until a difficult customer would come along.

      Cons

      Dogs are allowed in the grocery store. You have to work pretty quickly and it isn't a job where you can just take it easy while it's slow or if you're tired. The environment is very stimulating, which could be difficult for an introvert or someone sensitive to a lot of bustle.
