Lots of costumer interaction and a fast pace made the work day pass quickly.
What I wish was different
I wish the shifts were shorter. I often had 10 or 11 hour shifts which were pretty tough. 8 to 9 hour shifts would have been a bit more manageable.
Advice
Try to make the repetition more dynamic by making personal connections with guests. Don't just zone out and become robotic.
