[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Baker at the PR management franchise in MA. I bake at the Panera that competes for first in sales every week. I think they compensate me well, but you only get what you put into it. I'm willing to do favors and learn manager's preferences for things so they'll feel like being nice to me, and let it slide if I don't have a great night. I'm almost at our cap of $16.50/hr after 4 years. I know that doesn't sound like much, but that's for an entry-level job with no degree or prior certifications.

My girlfriend works on the retail side of another cafe, so I know the kind of shit the associates go through for less than $10/hr. I don't have to put up with customers. In fact, the only times I have spoken to customers, I've been lauded by the retail managers.

I work in a T-shirt after the store is closed. I can play whatever music I want at a more than reasonable volume. When everyone else leaves for the night, it's just me. There's a 3 page list of things I need to do, and that is the only direction I'm given. If you're into the idea of freestyling, this is it. They don't drug test because they know better. We're held to very high standards at work, so they don't really police our off time.
