You only get 10-12 hours a WEEK? Hell I work that in a DAY now.

Are you giving them crap about what days/hours you want to work, or are you just saying "give me as much as you can"?

I used to work for Fred Myers (now owned by Kroger) when i was in highschool and during the summer time i asked for all the hours i could get and they would throw 39 hours at me (most they could do leagaly because i was under 16 at the time) and i loved it. Made bank. But come school time- i told them i would only work weekends- no weeksday evenings- they didn't like that- so they cut me back to like 12-16 hours... I didn't like it- but i didn't want to work during the week either so i couldn't complain much.

That is the draw. You either ask for as much as possible and work a lot- or if you want to be picky- just be glad for what they give you.

If you only want to work a few specific days & hours, not too many places are going to want you around. More hassle than its worth- plenty of other people willing to work what the store demands.

If you are willing to really WORK for them- meaning the hours and days they want- and not just a handful of hours here and there- most places will gladly give you all the hours you can take.
