re: Would you rather work at Baskin Robins for $7.25 an hour or Kroger's for $7.75

Gravy job, plus you can meet chicks (if they are into losers that work at BR). But if you have game....

we aren't buying it

So basically go for Baskin Robins if picking up women is more important and Kroger if $$$ is more important?

How old is this "friend"?


Best bet is job in the service industry. Waiter/waitress; bartender; etc.

Baskin Robins.

Working at a grocery store SUCKS, especially if poors shop there.

It's about 25% more pay per week for 5 hours. If the travel distance to work doesn't eat up extra money then you should put on that Kroger's apron sonny.

ETA: That's about $200 more per month for you "friend of a friend".

Kroger

This was my first job ever. I bagged groceries and fetched carts in the parking lot during the 100 degree summer days. My co-workers were decent, but the managers were pricks.

Give me Baskin Robbins by default.

I worked at Baskin Robbins in high school, but in a "less desirable" part of town. I also worked at a grocery store in a good part of town. I'd still prefer Baskin Robbins, but it wasn't exactly a good job even for a high school student. At the location where I worked, the owner did all of the weekday shifts, and his employees would come in at 5 and work the evening shift all the way through closing (10pm + about 30-45 minutes of cleaning, counting and depositing money in the safe, etc). We'd also work weekends, and all employees were required to work on Sundays (busiest day of the week and often involved more after-hours cleaning putting us leaving after 11pm on a school night).

There was also this magical time of year called "free scoop night," where all employees were required to work, and it was hours of non-stop freeloaders (because remember I said this was in a less desirable part of town). I assume the point of free scoop night was to attract more customers, who might "upgrade" their one-scoop sundae to a two-scoop or buy something else along with it, i.e. actually spend some money. Of course, the reality of it was a line wrapped around the building and a mostly empty till at the end of the night.

At 30+ hours won't Kroger offer health care? That's why BR is at 29
