Pros

The other staff. The only thing that get's you through a shift. They pay you, even if this minimum wage.

Cons

The mind-numbingly boring, repetitive daily tasks. The rude, arrogant customers that the reputation of the store seems to attract most, who will talk to you like your worthless and scream and shout because you refuse to let them try on a pair of £1 underwear for hygiene reasons. The ridiculous misconception of management, that genuinely believe it is more important you refold the same pair of jeans for the 20th time in an hour (after previously mentioned customer has just watched you fold it for the 19th time, waits until you've finished, comes over and lifts up item with no interest in buying it, then throws it back down in a heap), than jump on the til to assist lessen the queue that is backed up around the entire ground floor.
