        Business Outlook

        Pros

        - Higher pay than most retail stores - Flexible schedule, especially if you're a college student - 20% discounts - Teaches you how to be humble

        Cons

        - Can expect to close at most 3 hours after closing - Majority of coworkers and customers are rude - Never any downtime - In most cases, you are promised by the company two 15-minute and one 30-minute lunches if you work 8 hours, but you end up with one 15-minute & one 30-minute lunches/one 30 minute lunches - Doing too much with how much you're getting paid - Unprofessional and unhappy coworkers and managers - Being graded on your quickness of being a cashier despite the majority of customers paying in cash and whenever you do an exchange, you have to wait for the manager on duty to give you permission on anything over 50 dollars - Whenever it was Senior Tuesday, customers would get mad at me for not automatically giving them the discount because they didn't ask for it in the first place and having to do an exchange

                      In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?

                      Doing my first behavioral interview with Guidehouse and wondering if anyone has any advice on practice questions for the behavioral interview I might be able to practice with, prep, and map out a STAR response to ahead of time. This is my first time interviewing in this industry and am first gen so feeling nervous, this any advice and tips are much appreciated.
