Which do you think is better, a job at a grocery store or a job at the new bowling alley?

I have been working at a local grocery store as a bagger for about 3 months now. It's not very hard work except for going outside to bring in carts and they are very flexible on hours. The only problem is I only get paid $6.55 and have to pay union dues on top of that. (I'm only 16 so I don't get anything from the union).





Recently, I got offered a job at this Brunswick Zone which has laser tag and bowling. I got offered a position at the bowling counter that brings shoes to people and cleans off tables. My friend has the same job and said it's really easy. I also get payed $7.25 an hour there. My problem with it is I think I am going to have to work weekends a lot, which I don't think I'll like since I want a life outside of work, and I'm not sure how flexible they will be on my hours.

it depends on what you think will help further your career. it's good to be part of a union because union members typically have better wages and benefits in the long run but what puzzles me is why you are paying dues and you don't get the benefits, because you're only 16. also, which job will give you the flexibility to work with your current school schedule. also look at the job itself. it's not just about bagging groceries, there are many other positions you can work at the store. look for what skills and abilities you can add to your resume of qualifications. as for the bowling alley, you'll make more per hour and probably have more fun. what else is there at the alley that you can add to your resume? also, you don't want your weekends tied up, so you might not want to work there. it's not always about money either. if you are just working to make a paycheck and you don't want your weekends wasted, then stay where you are, but definitely question the union dues. also, work at what you like. you don't want to be miserable. also think about what will give you flexibility. when you leave for college, if you do, can you come back to the job during breaks in your education and during summers off? there is a lot that you have to consider. how will the job further your future career? what skills and education will show a future employer more? when you answer these questions, you will know which job to keep. i wish you all the best
Reply:I now that job with pays more but the grocery store would be better, because of the more time you put in. Just because you are 16 dose not mean the union not there for you
Reply:Dude...you're 16, go for the money. You're gonna want a good car later on right?
Reply:If it were me, I would probably take the job at the bowling alley. Kind of confused as to why a bagger is paying union dues though.
Reply:look at what the jobs can give you, money? thats one thing but you dont want to be at either really cos you need to goto college and study,
Reply:Ask about the hours. If they're flexible, then say adios to your veggies.
Reply:it's really up to you, though working at the grocery store is more common for someone your age. however, being that the bowling alley is new, it may benefit you more. and if your friend works there too, then it would make it all that much easier to fit in. and if you get paid more than you would at your grocery store, then all the more better for you.
Reply:id go with bowling alley because youd get free bowling, free food, and free laser tag do the math, big deal workin at a grocery store--free uncooked food
Reply:Bowling sounds more fun. It all comes down to you, not me
