Pros

Pays decent, customers tip, easy job. Builds work ethic.

Cons

Hearing the old stale same music soundtrack from 2008 over and over every day, the mentally unwell customers that would have temper tantrums over a coupon, hot parking lot when bringing all carts in by yourself. Girl workers get more heat for not being smiley enough to the point of it being unnatural; you can't just have a relaxed face as a girl there, but the guy workers can.
