We typically do five, seven hour shifts or four nine hour shifts. You might be by yourself for the last hour or two of your shift. We like positive vibes and no drama, its a tea shop. Please have reliable transportation. Our employees usually say this is one of the most enjoyable and easiest jobs they've had which is why most have been with us for years. We are currently working on installing a "Tea Bar" like our sister store in Pigeon Forge. So any barista experience is also great. We just enacted 1% commission monthly bonus, which can add $1-3/per hour based on sales. And we get few tips even in lieu of a Tea Bar.
