      Fast-Paced, Demanding, but Taught Me Patience and Work Ethic

      Front end cashier

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Learned valuable customer service skills: Interacting with guests helped me develop patience, communication, and professionalism, even under pressure. Fast-paced environment built discipline: It wasn’t easy, but the intensity of the work forced me to stay sharp and focused. Team camaraderie during busy shifts: When the team was unified, things ran smoother and felt more rewarding. Consistent scheduling: Hours were dependable, which helped with routine and structure.

      Cons

      High stress with limited support: As a cashier, I often dealt with long lines, complaints, and technical issues while feeling under-supported by management. Lack of training: I was thrown into responsibilities without proper onboarding, making it harder to succeed early on. Poor communication during rush hours: Miscommunication between front-of-house and back-of-house staff added unnecessary tension and chaos. Understaffing issues: Not enough cashiers during peak times led to burnout and customer frustration.
