Pros

Able to meet and greet beautiful customers and can create a conversation while at checkout

Cons

At times I was still at the shop floor an hour past my working hour because I had to finish restocking, bare in mind I was working the tills by myself aswell, with no help from other colleagues made. Only 4 hours a week! If I did something wrong I was questioned about it but when something good.. nothing
