Alrite i work at this store and i have beeen there for a year. I dont like the job at all. im currently a cashier and will be as long as im working there. My manager recently told me that she is going to be giving me a promotion to head cashier. Which is someone that can get money for the draw when needed, gets to do everything except for office work.
So applied at another place and got a call for an interview on monday. And i told my mom and she said whatever you want to do its up to you.
Today i asked her "what do i do if i get the job." Just tell my manager that im putting in my two weeks. And she flipped out on me. Shes like why do you want to leave a job where your about to get a promotion and plus youve been there for a year theres no reason to leave. I have been there for a year and the people treat me like crap. Im always on register even though everyone at the store is a cashier but i always get stuck on it. Then if they give me something to do on the floor i wstill have to watch the register. But i hardly get anything done and i get chewed out by one of the cashiers.
My mom tells me its my decision but she doesnt like my choice. and she gets pissed about it.
Any advice would be wonderful. what do you guys think i should do?
-----------
also heres another thing i may be able to do
at the job im at right now. the main days the need help is wednesdays and saturdays.
Do you think it would be a good idea to work my current job those days and if i get hired for this new job just work the other days?
im only 17 and still in high school. So i cant get more then 20 hours a week at one job.
Ill be 18 soon so my hours will go up to 35hours a week.

I would quit the job that you've had since you aren't treated well, honestly.

If at all possible I would try to keep both jobs at least for a little while to see where you enjoy working more. You may not like the new job, there are always good and bad things about all jobs especially when you are young and not yet educated enough to get a job in a field you would enjoy.
At your age the best bet is usually to follow the money unless you are so unhappy in a job that you can't bring yourself to go. I know I hated my first few jobs, once you get older and get more education you will have more options. Keep in mind now though that while varied experience is good going from job to job isn't so be careful about quiting a secure job for an unknown one.
