Say good morning to customers and employees, try not to be too serious when working, but when you have to be make sure you are. Do your job better than the person next to you it shows. complementing people throughout the day and being vigilant with who you are working with because you get daily customers, so knowing their name makes their day.

What I liked

Loved the people who worked here! The head cashiers and managers are very supportive and it was a fun environment to work in. My supervisors ALWAYS made sure I took my 15 minute break every 2 hours.

More relevant and efficient training. There were a lot of topics that did not apply to my position and took 5 shifts.

Advice

It's overwhelming at first but you quickly learn the items and gain confidence. Just act like you know what you're doing (and check with your head cashier).

What I liked

The hours are flexible and the atmosphere is laid back. The people are friendly and earnest.

What I wish was different

For the amount of time I spent with this company and the hard work I poured in, I believe I could have been compensated a little better for it. There is a notable lack of opportunities for upward mobility as well.
