I've worked the first two days at another location and TBH if it wasn't over an hour away by public transport/bike ride I would love to work for that location.

In our location we have on weekdays during the day two cashiers for the regular tills. One can't work the self check-out and the other can but hates it. So the other only get short periods of time to sit down and work the regular till during breaks or when only one of them is working and another till needs to be opened. And because I'm good at working the self check-out I often work on the "square" all day.

At my temporary location you switch between the two every couple of hour. So at the end of the day I'm a lot less tired. However, my shoulder is now sore because I'm not used to working the regular tills for half of my working day.

The customers are also different. Less drama (though at my regular location it isn't too bad). Mostly white customers and a mixture or those aged over 50 (who buy a lot of booze) and families with younger kids. There aren't any schools nearby so we don't get groups of annoying teens.

I'm lucky, the co-worker I work most with and am friendly with isn't happy at all about the location she's been sent to.
