So, basically I have this interview at WHSmith tonight. It's from 5pm until 8, and is a group interview. Apparently it's going to involve pretending to sell things to customers, juggling objects and just other shit. And I hate that kind of stuff, especially when I could be with my girlfriend instead.

Also, I had an interview at Makro yesterday, which went really well. I'd be working in the electronics section (my job will be to set up televisions and games consoles, make sure they're working, demonstrate them to customers). On weekdays I'd get £5.70 an hour (goes up to £6.35 after 8 weeks), and on sundays I'd get £8.70 per hour. WHSmith is a fixed rate of £5.35.

I got told yesterday that I'd hear back from makro on whether I got the job or not either today or tomorrow.

So. The question is, should I go to this shitty interview for this job that I dont want tonight (even though if I dont get this makro job, I'd seriously need it). Or should I just risk it, not go, and hope I hear back from the other job tonight or tomorrow?
