deli clerk at jewels

Today marked my second day on the job. It really helps when you have really friendly coworkers that don't mind showing you the basics. I can genuinely say I don't have a single shitty coworker. Even the lead seems pretty chill. She jokes around and laughs with everyone.

3 things I quickly noticed was the gloves are always Hella small and the aprons are essentially nonexistent. I also have a coworker that brings a small portable speaker that blasts music around the time the deli closes. Could I bring my own kitchen safe gloves or possibly buy my own higher quality apron? I know headphones aren't allowed but could I possibly bring my own speaker and play my own music at a much lower volume?
