I used to work for Evans until I moved to Japan. Despite being paid a fuck ton to sit here on LFGSS all day and teach the occasional lesson, I had a bloody good time working at Evans! The service really does depend on who you get serving you, the knowledge and enthusiasm is not shared out between staff.. some are just shit.. some are amazing. It sucks to hear complaints made to your shop when you come back from a day off and a part-timer has pissed off a customer! There were a number of occasions where head office were to blame for something or other and we were left to deal with the mess.
On the other end of the scale though, we like to help people out who are genuinely appreciative of your services... the amount of C-units we got in the shop demanding we bow down and kiss the floor they walk on, then to just complain when we're busy serving other customers.. it can get a little difficult to keep a smile on your face!
Maybe I got it good, but everyone I worked with was top quality and a pleasure be around every day.
