Pros

The other front of house staff were lovely, and you get a free scoop every shift.

Cons

One of the worst places I’ve ever worked. The owner is constantly firing people for little reason, it had an incredibly high staff turnover. There’s a division between management staff/kitchen staff and front of house which could be quite toxic. It’s quiet in the winter but crazy in the summer, and so badly organised that it’s difficult for staff to cope. I was there part time but half the shifts you’ll get are short, 4 hours, so I was there 5/6 days a week. If you include travel it’s basically full time. The quality of the ice cream is inconsistent and it’s overpriced so you’re often having to justify it to customers or deal with complaints. They also don’t accept cash which was another issue we were having to field complaints over. I was overjoyed to leave.
