    Well, as you know, the place I worked closed with no warning. I fianlly got hired by Cracker Barrel rest. and start training tomarrow!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
    But, today, JOANNS called and I go for an interview toight. I would LOVE this job, but I am sure its only minimum wage.
    I am hoping both jobs will help me work something out so I can do part time BOTH places!
    Oh, yeah, CB would be more pay, $2.33 plus tips, but its always busy, so I almost HAVE to take that one!!!!!!!!
    UGH!!!!!!!!

    But if you got on part time at Joann's that should be considered a "freebie" job. That way you could spend all the money from it right there. Okay, so it's just a theory... but it's a good one. But just think, you'd have first chance when something was being clearanced.
    CB could be a job job where the money went for things that jobs pay for---gas, groceries, rent, utilities, etc.

    A waitress wage is 2.33 an hour plus tips, lol!!!!!!! When I started 20 years ago, it was 2.13 an hour plus tips. But if youre a good waitress you can really make out well....or if its a slow restauraunt, not so good!

    yes, but good thing is, they are required to make sure you get at least minimum wage :D
    A lot places the waitresses make more than anyone else on staff :D

    WOW! What an opportunity! I would have to personally NOT consider Joanns, as I WOULD NOT come home with a paycheck!!! ROFLOL

    I agree with raptureready.....you need to consider first if you need the MONEY for the bills and survival or are you just looking for a fun & enjoyable job?

    Prayng about it would help too! :)

    May be you can work it out to work at both. We work our part timers hours around school and second jobs. I sure hope they can.
