Svantaggi
I've never worked in a retail environment where you weren't given a lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. Seriously. You have to work over 8.5 hours in order to get a lunch. And here at our store, we get ONE 10 minute break. Can you imagine only a 10 minute break w/i a 7 hour shift? Amazing. Plus they cross trained me into book keeping/customer service desk which was great, but at no extra pay. Seems like a lot of responsibility handling all that money for just 7.80 an hour. It's insulting. Oh and by the way, if you work at the customer service counter you don't get a break at all. Yeah, it's easy work but everyone needs a break or two to keep their sanity. I remember a time when working for a grocery store was a pretty good job for someone who isn't college educated. Glad that I am and only need this job for a short while in between careers.
