Comparing pros and cons

It's not as easy as it seems to get a job at Starbucks as I once thought. You have two interviews. Both are really easy though. But then again, I think I lucked out since both interviewers liked me from the beginning. The first interview was harder than the second one actually, probably because the second interviewer was closer to my age. It was more like a conversation really.

Somehow, we got to talking about the multiculturalness of Toronto, and then I mentioned Indian food, and she said she liked spicy food, so I told her about the Hot and Spicy Food Festival that was going on this weekend at the Harbourfront.

Originally, I liked the Rogers job more, but since they haven't called back like they said they would, I think I might just go for Starbucks. The co-workers are nice, and I get free coffee every week. I'm sure my mom would love for me to work at Starbucks, same with all my friends who drink coffee since I don't really drink it myself. I'm scared of a dependance on coffee. The last thing I want is to be wired on coffee.

Starbucks offers full healthcare plans even for part-time workers, and the pay is better than Rogers, even though you wouldn't think so.

The best benefit of Rogers though, is the free movie rentals. I love movies but I cannot afford to always rent. I suppose the library could help me out, but then again, so many movies aren't avaliable at the library.

I wonder if I can somehow get both jobs and keep them.

Cons of working at Rogers would be: 1. I'd have to learn the different functions of cell phones and the different plans, and I'd have to do that on my own time, unpaid. 2. I'd have to sell things to customers, and I know that I hate pressuring customers to buy things. 3. Minimum wage. 4. Standing on feet for hours and hours.

Cons of working at Starbucks: 1. Standing on feet for hours and hours. 2. Grouchy customers who haven't had their coffee in the morning. 3. Waking up at 5am! I think that's crazy! I'm also in journalism, so I stay up until 4am sometimes to finish articles, which means 1 hour of sleep?! 4. Breathing in too much coffee air. 5. I don't know if I want to spend my life making coffee.
