I was a shift manager at McDonald's whilst I paid my way through my master's degree. I was in charge of running shifts, dealing with cash and safe deposits, focusing on Labour, waste, breaks and cleanliness. I was also the health and safety manager at my store, making sure all procedures are being followed and my store was a safe place to be working in.

working as a sales advisor, I was very hands on with the customers. Working with sales and issues customers may have, there was a wide variety of conversations. You had to know everything about everything, and it teaches you to think on your feet as you never know which way a conversation will go. I found towards the end that my conversations with customers were being more appreciated with the time and effort I put in, especially with a few of the regulars who would come specifically to see me.
