You wake up early to go to the store and prep for 4/5 hours before other people come in. They get there an hour before open to help out. Then it’s pretty busy until 1/2. The night manager comes in and you take care of computer/paperwork and the deposit for the day. Then you make sure the store is okay before you leave for the night. Wheew! Long day.
