Heinen's
I'm 15/f.
I turn 16 this February.
I applied for a job at Heinen's with my friend. We applied for the one closer to our homes because of transportation reasons. My dad also works at Heinen's, but the one he works at is far away. He used to work at the one I applied for, so he went and talked to the manager. He said you had to be 16 to work there, but he'd give me a call over break to schedule the interview anyway. My friend won't be 16 until May, so I'm not getting the job with her anymore. Now, I'm second guessing working at the one I applied for. The customers there are rude, plus I'd have better co-workers at the other one. I want to work at another one that's still pretty close. I applied for store #2 on Christmas. My dad still needs to talk to the manager from that store. The manager from store #1 called me the other day, and I'm supposed to call him after the new year to schedule an interview. But, I don't want to work there anymore. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I can get the job at store #2 for sure yet. What should I do? Should I go to the interview, get the job, then transfer? I'd feel bad though. Any help?

I have news for you the customers in ANY job where you are in direct contact with them are unbelievably rude and some are downright nasty or a pain in the butt to deal with.
You will find that is the case no matter which grocery store or job you work in where you deal with the public for 6-12 hrs a day.
Other than that I cannot see any reason to turn down an interview or not accept a job other than distance between home and work. It seems the manager at this store really respects your father and wants to give you a shot.
Accept the interview and talk honestly with your potential employer about the distance, how to handle snotty customers (believe me they'll train you about this), safety and other issues.
An interview doesn't mean you'll get the gig nor does it mean you have to accept it. You could inform him/her in the interview that before you knew he/she would interview you that you put in an application a store nearer to home.
Quite often you might get hired at a certain store/branch and can ask to be transferred to another store. In the interview ask about these concerns.
It would seem they really want you to work there or to at least interview. They're even thinking of hiring you even though you aren't yet 16. Your dad went to a lot of trouble to talk to this manager so I would take the interview and then see how you feel if a job is in fact offered. Doesn't mean you have to take it in the end.
