The customers eyes glaze over whenever I went from "Guy who knows what he is talking about" to "Here comes the hard sell on extras I don't want"
The newer staff are all 18-21 to avoid the NLW and as a result are basically children with no work ethic.
After a manic and high pressure winter season we all received a cut of 4hrs a week (tantamount to a 10% pay cut) to 'save on costs' as a way of saying thanks for the hard work.
Head office have little to no idea how the shop floor actually runs and works on a day to day basis and keep adding little extras to each sale to try and maximise revenue, as I was leaving they were trying to add utilities swapping to the extra things to sell a customer.

The hours are supposed to be given on a 4week ahead rota, but the days and hours of work varies so wildly that you can't really plan to do anything consistently each week that you lose any semblance of a work/life balance.
A horrible, horrible place to work.
