Lately, the place I'm working at (produce in a grocery store), is cutting hours, and thus I may need to start looking elsewhere for a job.

I'm currently going to college and will generally be looking for a part-time job (20 hours a week approx.) and was curious if any of you TFP'ers had experiences or recommendations regarding good places to work during college, or just good jobs in general?

By good job, I don't necessarily mean pay, because realistically, entry-level/part time jobs don't pay well. Instead, I mean "good" in that it's a job that is somewhat enjoyable, with time going by reasonably fast, and the working environment also being enjoyable.

Obviously, you and I likely live in different places, therefore I'm just looking for general suggestions.. IE, working at a video store sucks.. Being a bus boy at a restaurant doesn't.. Things like that. Just some general recommendations or suggestions that might help steer where I apply at.

As I said above, I've been working at a grocery store for over four years now (through college), and I might like to try something else.. Depending on what kind of job I can get around here, I may work the two days a week at the store, and pick up another job for weekends.. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any sort of feedback relating to good (or bad) jobs for a college student looking to get 15-20 hours a week. Not a career, just something to do while I finish up school..

Thanks!
