God, my jobs have WORST TIMING EVER. Just as Subway is getting its a into g, monique from Starmart offers me full-time work. Subway technically offered first. OTOH, Subway already screwed me once, and Monique's been awesome, getting me as much casual work as she can; Subway want me to work pretty much seven days a week at stupid, shifting-roster hours, Monique's giving me six days a week on regular hours; and, well, Subway's paying me 11.25/hr and Monique's paying me 12.75/hr, which is freaking AWESOME pay for a summer job (min. wage here is 11.25). So I think I have to tell Subway. But, ugh: SO HARD. :-/ I feel really bad and mean! Someone tell me I'm not being a shit to them.

You are not being bad, mean, or fecal to receive two job offers and accept the second.

Unless you have made a commitment to Subway--as in, already had them schedule you--then it's just that, an offer. That's all. They are not depending on you. They are not going to be injured or sad because a potential minimum wage summer employee got a different job. They will hire someone else or give more hours to the people they've got.

Meanwhile, you will be taking an opportunity with better pay, hours, people, and treatment.

Whether or not they've scheduled her, if she hasn't signed anything, there's no obligation of any kind. And with no contract yet, I wouldn't put it past them to screw around some more.

I wouldn't trust them either, no. But I could understand her wanting to honor an oral commitment if she'd made one, and if it were going to cause problems for other individuals (who were not responsible for the earlier stupidity). As far as the employer itself, they obviously don't deserve reliable employees. :P
