Three days ago, I applied for a cocktail waitress position at a local restaurant/lounge and had an interview the same day, which went well. The manager didn't explicitly say I got the job but asked me to come in for training today, Friday. However, I just received another interview offer from a different place that's closer to home and more convenient for me, which adds to my dilemma. One concern I have is that the first place requires me to pay around $180 upfront for a custom uniform, along with additional costs for a certificate and alcohol training, totaling about $600 if I get all five uniforms they suggest. While I understand the need for a custom uniform, I'm uncomfortable with such a high initial expense. I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to tell the manager during training tonight that I appreciate the opportunity but need a few days to consider my options due to other interviews. I want to ensure I make the right choice for my comfort and commitment. Alternatively, should I just attend the training without mentioning my other interviews and decide later? I haven't filled out any paperwork yet, and since I've never worked in nightlife before, I want to ensure I'm comfortable with my decision. I'm still planning to go to training tonight to see if I like the environment and if the pay seems reasonable.
