    good choice for a decent retail experience
    The good thingsnot overly strict, fairly reasonable manager and staff. good for first-timers looking to rack up work experience as you get to handle a variety of tasks and not just basic customer navigation, which is great for your resume. qualifications also not strictly required.
    The challengespay is a bit low for the workload. there are f&b places that pay more per hour.
