I’m 19 and over a year in customer service, with the recent turn of events with the student loan forgiveness, I will need to help out my family in getting a job to providing some money for paying off loans. I loathe jobs in customer service, however it’s the only one I’m really qualified at my age and experience so…
I either have two options, either as a cashier at a BP Trio gas station, or a cashier/stocker at an Ace Hardware store. I’m scheduled for an interview for Ace Hardware in a couple days so I’m unsure on wages- but for the gas station it’s 15 an hour. I want to go for whoever is offering the most, but also want to consider the stress each job offers (As I’ve had plenty from working in McDonald’s). The gas station isn’t on a busy intersection, so it seems rather low key and not too busy from whenever I’ve visited it. And I know that Ace Hardware can be strenuous with lifting heavy loads and what not- however I have experience in stocking to expect that.
I’d like to know from workers who have worked at either companies in the past or currently, or have had jobs similar to working at gas stations or hardware stores- which would be the better option. Let me know what I should do, and thank you for taking the time in reading this if you have, and hope I make the right decision going forward.
