Lighthearted discussion with coworkers throughout the day, and the occasional delightful customer.

The interviewer, who is now a good friend of mine, approached it very casually and created a very welcoming, safe environment. The questions were fairly standard but allowed zone wiggle room for how to approach them desirably.

Wage for veteran workers should increase PROPORTIONATELY to new employee hourly pay. I haven't been with the company more than a year yet am close to an associate who has been there nearly 10. In my eyes this is unacceptable and disparages sticking with the company past short-term.

Most associates are friendly and lighthearted, yet hardworking. But some are simply awful to be around due to constant berating for things going on that could not be helped or changed, or for things associates were unaware of because the manager never gave them the info they NEEDED to have.

Most customers complain and yell about increasing prices only low stock, aiming at the store workers when we aren't in control of any of it, and can't get corporate to provide us more stock when need be, or respond to complaints about admittedly steep price increases on products such as bird seed.

Informing both team leads and associates alike on what to do and when to do it, and to light a fire under those that can't get with the program. Also need to learn how to produce an actually effective schedule that provides everyone with their desired hours/days/time off, instead of screwing us over
