The work is simple and easy to pick up.

They say employees can eat croissants, but when they see you eating one on the store’s surveillance cameras, they’ll accuse you of stealing.

It’s not just bad luck that you happen to encounter terrible coworkers—every store has terrible coworkers.

If you try to file a complaint with higher-ups, it may be suppressed by the store manager or supervisor. The terrible coworkers never leave; the ones who leave are always the good coworkers who can’t put up with them anymore.

After actually starting work, I found that the internal procedures also make you not want to eat croissants anymore.

As long as the store manager takes a dislike to you, they can cut your shifts and force you out in no time.

Even as a full-time employee, if they take a dislike to you, they’ll threaten you, saying that if you don’t agree to transfer stores, you should leave.

When developing new products, they ask employees for opinions but don’t listen to them. The promotions are a complete mess and offer no real discounts; then, when sales are poor, they come back and question whether the products were promoted properly.

There are bonuses for meeting performance targets, but they keep setting targets so high that they’re impossible to reach, just to prevent you from getting the bonus.

If you really want to work there, just work part-time and treat it as a casual activity, with only a few shifts a month. Otherwise, don’t stay long-term—you’ll regret it.
