okay i am trying figure this out, maybe some advice would work.
Okay i am working at this Drycleaners. and it is boring....no body to talk to. and a fair-pay...i have been working for this company for about 7 months..and i think i am doing a good job in helping them out. I still haven't get a raise and they cut everyone's hours including mine...and recieve like 420 every 2 weeks/before taxes. Until saturday this postion for a job at fancy resturaunt and bar server came up, and just 5 tables and 5 hours (my first day) i made alittle over 80 dollars. i want that job, but i have been a good help at this one.

Quit the Dry Cleaners job....and do the Server thing...you will make more money. And, it's a little busier of a job, so you won't be bored our of your mind all day, watching the clock move slowly. Time will fly when you are serving, and you will meet a ton of interesting people.

I have this feeling that one of the reasons you don't want to leave the dry cleaners is that you feel safer there.
But it's time for you to branch out your wings. You obviously can do better at the restaurant and if you are making that much money as a new person, think about what you could be making as you become more experienced at it. It shows you have good people skills and need something more challenging.
My advice to you is to talk with your restaurant job and see if they are willing to give you more hours. If they are agreeable, ask them, would they be willing to give you a couple of weeks before going to the increase in hours?
If they are willing to do that, then give your dry cleaning job, a polite letter explaining that you feel that it's time to resign and would like to give them two weeks notice. That way, you show consideration for your former job and don't burn any bridges, and it gives them a chance to replace you.
Good luck to you.
And you know the advice about going back to school? Have you considered it? Your career options will be a lot better if you have a degree behind you and waitressing/bar tending is a great way to survive while going back to school.

sounds like you may like the people you work for at the dry cleaners, as well as a bit of security, knowing you have something that you can count on.
the restaurant job may provide more money, in terms of tips, but that can be an "iffy" thing if business is slow and not as many customers come in. Then your income could suffer. So, this opportunity, on the face of things, may be more appealing, but you have an income you can "depend" upon at the dry cleaners.
oh the tangle webs we weave...
Depends upon the level of risk you are willing to take. Are you adventurous? Is the restaurant an upscale eating establishment that has a fantastic reputation in the community? How long has it been in business?
It may be wise to keep the dry cleaners job while seeking a restaurant job at another establishment that will allow you to transition from one job to the other, thereby mitigating any potential loss of income and hence, keeping a sense of security.
good luck

Quit the job...Tell the cleaners that you are really relying on the hours that you were cut and you found a job that can give you the hours that you need. You should also think about going to school their are so many options and grants for you........you'll never know until you tryed! Any ways I hope this helped.

Pick the job that you enjoy the most - which ever one you leave, give two weeks notice and tell them you have found a job that you enjoy more. If you tell the drycleaners you are leaving for more money - are you prepared to stay if they offer you more?

I think you should consider going back to school to get a degree. That way you can have a job that pays far better than any drycleaners or bartending job.

Is it possible for you to do both jobs? You could ask your employer to cut down on your hours because you feel overburdened. In contrast you work at the restaurant/bar part time as well.

I think if this restaurant job works out for you, then go for it!
The other job sounds boring-at lest the other one is busy & you never know what opportunities might come your way!
I say go for it!

you don't need an excuse to quit the first job.
take the new job, it sounds like you love it.
just tell them you got a different job. you don't have to explain anything.
