Pros

you meet all walks of life you can get feedback from customers about what they do not like or what they like you can shop before leaving work

Cons

where do I begin...they wont listen to employees input about lowering their prices to keep customers coming back. I worked for Acme for 39 yrs. and just retired with such an axe to grind. They (the company) keeps taking and taking; they dont realize they are pushing the shoppers put the door to cheaper stores where they can get more groceries for their money.
