Working here is necessary to identify the heist target of the Mementos request "Calling for Justice for Cats." which will be revealed during the end of a shift if the protagonist has already worked at least two shifts at the Convenience Store.
In Persona 5 Royal, working at the store now raises the protagonist's Charm by 2 notes and pays him 3,500 yen in regular shifts. If the protagonist works on the 7th, 17th and 27th days of each month, he will note the location of the barcode of two items chosen randomly; the player will then be prompted one of these items to correctly recall the said item's barcode location. During this, the chat log feature will be locked, so it cannot be exploited while viewing the items, but all items can be reviewed through the log before the "quiz" itself starts. The player will have two attempts to answer this and how the player answers will affect his wage and Charm points from that shift: 
*Correct answer on the first attempt: 7,400 yen and 3 notes of charm 
*Correct answer on the second attempt: 5,800 yen and 2 notes of Charm. 
*Incorrect answers on both attempts: 3,500 yen and 2 notes of Charm.

The protagonist may be commissioned to make bouquets for specific customer orders. In Persona 5, this is done every 2nd time he works at the shop while in Royal, this is done on his second shift (regardless of the day of the week) then on all Wednesdays and Saturdays afterwards. The bouquets always consist of 3 types of flowers, although some may have more types that qualify than necessary. How accurately the bouquet reflects the customer's request will affect the protagonist's wage and his Kindness yield:
* 3 correct: 3 notes of Charm, ¥4,300 (Persona 5) / ¥7,800 (Royal) 
* 2 correct: 2 notes of Charm, ¥3,200 (Standard wages)
* 1 or none correct: 1 note of Charm, ¥2,400
Both the orders and the flowers are divided in size and color. If the protagonist reads the Flowerpedia book that can be bought at Hinokuniya in Shinjuku, the flower choices will have more details on both their scent and their meaning, allowing him to excel at bouquet commissions starting from the 4th.
There are 9 requests which are given in order. After all of them have been completed, the requests will then be given randomly. After the first random request (specifically the 20th visit) there will be no more shifts without requests.

Sometimes, the protagonist has to listen to and memorize 4 orders the customers make: if he gets all of them right, his pay will be boosted up to 4,800 yen, but failing twice or more will reduce it to 2,600. His Proficiency gain is also affected: successfully preparing all orders will yield 3 notes, whereas failing twice or more will grant only 1. After all orders are given, the log feature will be locked, so it cannot be exploited while preparing the orders, but all orders can be reviewed through the log before the "quiz" itself starts.
The possible orders are differed by size and type: they can be medium or large, as well as either curry, natto, beef, barbeque and hui guo rou. The meals will also have to be memorized in the order they were given.
Working here twice is necessary to unlocking Toranosuke Yoshida's Confidant.

==Trivia==
* In Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES, during Career Experience Week, November 25-27, the protagonist is forced to do unpaid work for four straight days, moving heavy boxes at an unknown jobsite. In Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 Reload both protagonists work at Wild-Duck Burger instead, cleaning and throwing out the trash. While the work is still unpaid, the protagonist gains a great increase to their Academics stat afterwards.
* At the start of Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, the gas station attendant at MOEL informs the protagonist that they're looking for part time help, although the protagonist never gets the option to work there.
* The protagonist will also work in Junes during Yosuke's Social Link Rank 6 event, in August 15-19 and optionally on Halloween (Golden only) while being paid for the former two cases.
* The name of the flower shop in Persona 5, "Rafflesia," is a reference to the shop in Persona 3 of the same name in Port Island Station, which only sells gifts.
