It really depends on the position you have in the flower shop. I work there now and help run the store with the owner and his wife. It is a high and fast paced industry.
No real set time to really even eat lunch as your so busy your lucky to get one the days go by wicked fast.
You have to learn the names of the flowers and all the prices and all about the arrangements and how to care for them and what to do with them. It is hard work and the job is not as easy as everyone thinks. The money is truly in the knowledge and the skill to design and run the shop.
Any position we have pays more then min wage. If your in school and it is part time or even full time they start you at the going rate for store help and there is room to grow and learn and make more. Plus you can keep your tips. I hope this was helpful and you are welcome to ask any more questions and I will answer.
I started there and within 3 weeks I not only learned the product and prices but he let me run the store for 2 weeks. Then after my 90 days I got my first raise. He already says I am on my way to my next raise at my 6 month mark. So I make great money doing what I do and I don;t my the work cause it helps me feel good. Plus the perks are fantastic!

It is a profession that you need to learn. The better you are at arrangements the more you will be worth to the company. I think you would meet a lot of nice people. People coming in to buy flowers seem to generally be likable people.
