Pros
I worked part-time at Tea Spoon for a few months, and overall, it was a positive experience. The team was friendly, the environment was cozy, and the management was generally supportive. The pay was fair for a part-time role, and I appreciated the flexible hours.
Cons
That said, the job did come with one challenge: dealing with difficult customers from time to time. Most customers were lovely, but there were definitely a few who were overly demanding, rude, or impatient—especially during busy hours. It can be stressful, but the staff usually tried to handle things professionally.
