I interviewed for the cashier's job because try as I might (and I have for years), I couldn't get enough afternoon hours as a home health aide to work full-time, and my husband & I desperately need the money, so we won't have to ask his parents for more money all the time.  It's humiliating, and I got tired of my hha company not coming through for me.
