Deli Clerk

July 2017 - August 2018 • Lake Orion, MI

What I liked

My coworkers were nice.

What I wish was different

This job was horrible. I spent all day slicing meats for customers. Often I did not get all of the breaks I was supposed to because we were so busy and I can't just walk away when there are customers waiting. Sometimes customers would ask for shaved meat. This means that the meat needs to be sliced like sawdust. Shaving meat is exhausting to one's arm. Later in the day we were supposed to do all of the required cleaning before closing while simultaneously serving customers. (Although, later in the day there were less customers.) Often we did not finish all of the cleaning we were supposed to, or else we stayed 15 to 45 minutes past the end of our shifts to make sure it got done.

Advice

Don't get a job in a deli.
