Brief description:
when I was working at Dunkin donuts, I was a cashier/ barista, I would cash people out keep counters, floors, bathrooms clean, cashiering gave me the experience of one-on-one conversations with the customer about what they would it like down to it being food or coffee and donuts. Also, while I worked here I was able to have the one on one conversations with the customers and really got to know them to where I worked here for three years, then when I was transitioning to other jobs these customers then became my regulars at the new jobs as well.
