what now?
i'm 18/f
for two years i worked for a family-owned barbeque restaurant. they have two restaurants in my town and i worked at the original location. well because the economy is so bad and business died they cut hours a lot, which made them a little overstaffed and i started only working one, maybe two, days a week which wasn't enough money so i quit at the end of february. i left on good terms and the owner said if another job doesn't work out i can always come back.
well i work at another restaurant now. and i like it, it's good money and a nice place. but they so far have only worked me friday through monday, so tuesday, wednesday, and thursday i have nothing to do. college is rapidly approaching which i have to save some money up for, and also be able to pay my car, phone, etc, so i decided to go back to the barbeque place to see if they could just give me a fixed day or two to work any of those days that i'm off. even though it wouldn't be much money, any little bit would help to save up.
i ran it by the manager at my new job and he said it's totally fine as long as i let them know what days i'd be available with a second job. so last night i went to my old job to talk to the owner. i explained my situation and he asked if i could work at either one of their stores [i never worked at their other location before but it's the same thing] and i said yes, so he said he'd let me know. so... what now? do i just sit and wait it out? should i call up there around the end of the week to ask about it?
i have kind of a bad feeling that they won't hire me back because they have enough people at the old store, and i'm guessing at the new store too idk, but i'm really really really hoping they let me work, even if it's just one day a week which was all i was getting before by the end of my time there because it would help so much by the end of the summer!
what do i do here?

In my opinion I would possibly also try to find another job while you are waiting JUST incase. Jobs are hard to get these days for a lot of people, which you seem to know and understand, so it may not be in your old bosses budget right now if there are already so many. I don't know you or the type of place you live in. I live in a pretty big city so other work isn't hard where I am at. Try to possibly look around for other alternatives just incase your old boss doesn't call you back. Who know, if you can find something else, you may even get more money than you had originally hoped for going back to the old job. It's just that nothing bad would come from looking which is why I suggest that. Good luck with everything either way you go.
