The place is a mess. Management is terrible. Bad pay. Slow and small raises. Plus union fees. Difficult to get time off. Early shifts that make it hard to have a social life.

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play.

It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
