I got a non-compete form for an upcoming interview. Is this legal?

I'm applying for Planet of the Vapes, and I got this non-compete form. My current morning job is pretty toxic ( see previous posts of mine about it if you want an idea) so I'm looking for an out. Is this a red flag? I have an interview today and I am going, if they can give me enough hours to equal or go over what I make now I'll take it. I am really nervous though, this would be leaving the cooking industry at least for my morning job.

I am really nervous though, this would be leaving the cooking industry at least for my morning job. I don't really want to, my pay would be reduced to $15 instead of $17, but I'm just not getting enough hours at my prep job. Also I don't have a car yet and my boyfriend is able to drive me to work, but the walk would be a little longer with this new job and different hours so I would have to be walking to work every day. ( not a huge problem except in the winter.) I live in Northeast Ohio and they don't plow the sidewalks over here, just the streets.

I don't know what to do. At my current job I'm not learning anything, but honestly if the 2 managers that are giving me grief would stop, and I got my hours back I would continue to work there. The GM is wonderful but he hasn't helped with those 2 issues.

Sorry for the rant. Don't know if I'm looking for advice or what, but I'm not sure I should even proceed with this new job because of the form.
