Isn't a coffee shop job something suburban teens and college kids can do in-between classes? I wouldn't consider it an awful job like hard labor landscaping in brutal temps or working the frier at Burger King or making sandwiches at Subway.[/quote]

I worked there in 2009 just out of college. I thought it would be an easy job and I could flirt with boys but it was hard work. [b]Our store did not employ any sort of janitorial service so it was our job to clean the whole store every night and as needed during the day. Especially pleasant when homeless people are in and out of the restrooms.  I'll never forget a lady told me that there was a poop mess in the bathroom and watched me pull on rubber gloves. "You mean YOU'RE going to clean it up??? And then go back to making coffee?" Well yes, we don't have a magic fairy who comes out and cleans the bathrooms.[/b] If it had just been making coffee and wiping up sugar spills it would have been the perfect job.[/quote]

Did not know that. That is very gross. Who is the person who has to clean up bathrooms during the shift, the employee on duty with the least seniority? I would literally walk out before I'd clean up urine, feces or blood.[/quote]
Yeah this is true for all small stores/restaurants. I worked at The Container Store while in college and had to help clean bathrooms. 
Who did/do you think cleaned it up? They do t have a magic cleaning fairy. [/quote][/quote]
