which job is better? | I'd go with aeropostale. At Tim Hortons you're probably gonna be working non-stop whereas at aeropostale you get small breaks here and there. Plus there are probably hotter chicks at aeropostale than Timmys.

Perhaps saying working at McDonald's as your first job is embarassing is a bit of a stretch. You learn a lot working at Mcdonald's and is more or less, a snap shot of reality.
What's worse? Living at home, freeloading off your parents doing dick all? Or working, making your own money, having a social life and buying things you want, i.e. car, travel etc. I once worked at McDonald's. See where it got me (refer to sig.)

Nothing wrong with McDonalds as long as you work for the right company and not under some shitty franchise.
I've been with McDonalds for two years now and I'm a Swing Manager already.

You have nothing to lose so why not?
Just don't expect them to be a reference.
And personally, it's extremely unprofessional.

Hmm.. I'll help out with a quick low down of the jobs I had during my teen years..
I won't include any "under the the table" or seasonal.. or when I started work as an engineer when I was 18 and 19..
Safeway - From what I experienced and what I've heard from friends at other locations, all managers seem to be douchebags. Uniforms aren't supplied. You get paid once a week as opposed to once every 2 weeks. Stocking shelves.. not much to say. Managers ride the shit out of you. Oh, and you get union fees deducted from your paycheque.
Earls - Go for a waiter position if possible. If you're in the kitchen, you get started in dishes for anywhere from a month to over a year, get treated like shit by other kitchen workers. No scheduled breaks. If you want a break, you have to sign out to deduct from your work hours. Very unprofessional and unorganized work environment.
American Eagle - You stand around, fold, and talk to people. Easy job. Meet a lot of girls here too. Sometimes the managers ride you a little bit, but who cares. If you don't sell, you don't sell. There's no commission, and you're making your minimum wage regardless.
Buy Low Foods - Probably my favourite part-time job. Mainly because of my super chill co-workers, but that's different at every location. Smaller store, less work to do. Managers just tell you what to do for the day and leave you to it. Everything else is as it should be. Scheduled breaks, uniforms supplied, etc. Very steady job and flexible hours.
Hollister - You either stand around talking to people, folding clothes, or bringing clothes back out. I actually didn't mind this job. Chill managers, cool people, and like AE, meet a lot of girls.. both co-workers as well as customers
I probably had the most fun working retail, that's mainly from making so many friends. After work, sometimes we'd all go out and grab a bite or whatever. The down side to this, you don't get many hours. I don't think I ever got a full 8-hour shift at AE or Hollister. It was totally worth all the people I met though.
Grocery stores were the most steady and stable. Always hours available. As for the social side and workplace environment, it really depends on who you work with. I hated Safeway, but I loved Buy Low.
So from my experience, if you're hunting for hours, grocery stores are a safe bet. If you're ok with shorter shifts, and just working whenever, retail's not a shabby choice.

McDonalds really isn't a bad choice because all my employers have said that McDonalds is good as a starting job, since their training is well structured.
Sure, their uniforms may not be the best, but hey, everybody has to start somewhere. I personally liked McDonalds, especially because mine wasn't a part of some shitty franchise.

Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance I just want to be prepared | You have to wear either their brand or unbranded clothing (no logos). Oh, and you werent allowed to wear black. I don't know if this rule has changed.
Don't expect many (if any) 8 hour shifts.
You'll likely be folding and/or talking to customers.
Doubt they'll put you on stock or cash right away.
Not much advice is needed. This was a boring job, shitty pay. At least you get to meet girls
For the interview, just go in all enthusiastic and smiley.. you know the drill.

To the people who worked/got an interview at AE or Aero, did you guys just go in with your resume in hand, or did you apply online?

Personally from experience, resume in hand and speaking to the manager is a lot more effective than online applications.

Not sure about Aero.
AE I had to print an application online, fill it out and hand it in with my resume.
Hollister I went into the store and filled out the application on the computer. They didn't even take my resume until the group interview. Hollister is like a revolving door.. people are quitting every week, so it's not hard to get a job there..
