Customer service is not easy, it can be really socially taxing but it’s not the same for everyone. It can be a great experience to work with different people.

What I liked
During a pandemic I believe we weren't really socializing as much, therefore working gave me the ability to finally interact with people especially after being quarantined so long. I like that this place gives me the ability to really practice my multi tasking skills and allows me to grow more as an individual for future experiences.
What I wish was different
I wish our store didn't take cash, because I'm constantly worrying about getting sick.
Advice
To have patience, be ready to multi task, and smile with your eyes.

What I liked
The different skills i develped being out in different situations. For example dealing with a complaint from a customer, the speed in which i worked, how efficiently i was able to get the job done and so forth.
What I wish was different
I wish it was at a different location closer to home, but still paid the same amount. It was a hastle trying to get to work on time because of the trains and buses.
Advice
I would say some jobs like this might seem pointless now because they’re just summer jobs, but actually pay attention to the things you learn because the skills you abstain with summer jobs you can take anywhere with you and be successful.
