A typical day would be coming to work, check in say hi, get inside the office gather all paperwork from the day before and start doing some of the paper work and checking sales and ordering food.

As the day goes by less time is spent inside the office and more time outside like 90% of all the time. Time is limited and breaks are a important factor prior keeping all co-works including my own self with energy so, I give breaks even if it's busy. 

Everyone always work and have goals towards the end of the day such as learning something new or having everything prepared for the rest of the day and all the other shifts, everyone helps each other and no one should struggle with anything when help is at hand.

Great place to work if given the resources of working with the right colleagues. Colleagues that value work ethic and teamwork. Traits that cannot be taught. Otherwise duties can be challenging. Definitely advise manager to hire a security, there are too many homeless people lingering in the premises. Worst part of the job is working with lazy colleagues that would cause closing hours to be longer than usual. Store closes at midnight, expect to finish close and clean shop by 1:30AM but would need to stay until 4AM to complete. Staffs would get in trouble for either overtime or store not fully cleaned due to health inspections.

A typical day at work involved several customers leaving very disgruntled, and my several customer service awards stemmed from keeping my cool under these harsh circumstances. The management played favorites regularly, and would cut my hours at any given time (sometimes several times a week) if they weren't in the best of moods. This was definitely a work environment where people would bring their personal issues into work, and would gossip about others. Even with a wholehearted attempt to simply show up and do one's job, the circumstances made it near impossible to keep it to just that.

Typical day at work would consist of cleaning up tables, stocking condiment table/Soda area, serving pie and getting the burger buns ready, making milkshakes, cashiering, stocking, cleaning bathrooms. I learned in the beginning for a first time job, face to face customer service & how to treat your customer. Management at the time was to me poor. The boss was never flexible and never really nice or communicative. Hardest part of the job was dealing with all sorts of messes to clean up, baby throwing food, vomit, soda, etc. Enjoyable part was learning how to cashier for my first time and handle money correctly and give the correct amount back and of course my co-workers.

since 1952, they have deferred maintenance. everything is a quick bandaid repair. all systems are failing. and managment cant.make.a.speedy.decision. they have open trenches in several.stores, they wont pull.permits to do.major.repairs, and they end.up.getting caught. they expect the techs.to.perform.miracles in half the time an.outside contractor will. the worst part is they have major cleanliness issues . all the stores are rodent ridden and filthy. all the drain pipes are rotted away from soda and impacted with grease. drain lines are too small to work adequately. electrical systems unmarked or miss marked.roofs leak water onto electrical circuits and on top.of customers as they sit in dining rooms.

The overall culture is family oriented so it is a nice place to work, however, they do not pay the industry standard for their office work, and they do not offer yearly pay increases. I was not making a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

They do understand a work-life balance though, so it is good for mom's returning to work after being out of the workforce. It is a good place if you are just starting out or winding down your career. 

On the restaurant side they do pay fairly competitively so worth it if you just want to work in the restaurant for sure, I doubt you will find many other places that pay the same.

I learned how to control my patience because some costumers are just so disrespectful. a typical day at work, standing for 4-5 hours because always busy, a lot of customers and wipe the tables when slow. There was no really hardest part of the job, it is just bad management. the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people everyday, helping customers and some of co-workers were great and fun. Overall, it was a good experience for me, learned a lot of customer service.

Working in Oakland requires alot of strength mentally and emotionally 
Working in the middle of a downtown/port area in a major city requires a sense of fast pace and focus minded people 
My coworkers and myself were faced on the daily to decide to turn our cheeks or try to do something 
They city is full of daily costumers trying to take advantage
We not only have to have eachothers backs but be honest and ensure our orders are done correctly and quickly or the workplace could get hostile due to the clients

A typical day at Nations consists of cleaning, greeting customers, taking orders, cooking and washing dishes. I learned how to use and fix the big dish washer. Management isn't the best, we have to deal with confusion among supervisors and managers, schedules often change and aren't posted in advance but posted the week of. Co-workers are great people that help out and support one another. The hardest part of the job is dealing with rude customers that give us a hard time. The most enjoyable part of the job is prepping food.

work typically 60-70 hours weekly. i am part of management so i believe before i got there there were a lot of issues and now the store is receiving 80% average on cleaning and service. co workers most of them are very young with little responsibilities and due to that the turn over rate is off the charts. the customers make you want to be there they are extremely nice although there are ones that make you very angry, most are very patient and respectful which is my most enjoyable part of my job.
