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.

$2.33 an hour plus tips or $2.33 over minimum wage plus tips?

Good luck and let us know what you do!

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! :)
Blessings,

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.

ha, ha.hate to say it but the job at CB is better for you all the way around. you'd end up spending all your earnings at joann's.
