Stuck at a fork in the road

I currently work as a paralegal at a small law firm. I make decent money for the job, especially for the area I live in. It's actually pretty chill as far as a paralegal role goes. I have my fair share of busy days where I'm completing tasks the entire shift, but I also have days of straight up down time. I also have minimal supervision and a lot of autonomy.

I recently graduated college and starting to just kind of look and see what jobs are out there that could more financially beneficial for me and my family. I applied for a job in the federal judiciary

system and received an invitation to interview for the job. I am now contemplating what could be better for me.

The new job has a pay level of which has a base that is higher than my current salary. With step increases, and promotion potential. Not to mention the retirement account, time off, and insurance benefits. It also let's you do a hybrid schedule after completing training.

However, I do have some apprehension as the court is in a major metropolitan area with some glaring safety concerns. My partner isn't crazy about the idea of me working in the city for the same reason. Also, my current job is only 5 minutes from my house.

Any advice is appreciated.

Guy at Dunkin took my VIP card

My daughter got 2 of these cards. She gave me one and she kept one. Went to Dunkin to use her VIP card. The guy acts like he's not going to to give it back to me, so I said "Don't I get that back? It's meant to be used more than once." He says no it's just a one time use coupon. Before I can respond, be snaps it in half and throws it away. I was just kinda dumbfounded. Like did he just do that?

Its a card the customer is supposed to keep, which is clearly stated on the back. Also, the card is clearly made to be attached to your keys, hence the hole in it. Really frustrating and just pissed me off. Luckily I still have the other one, so I gave it to my daughter.

Update**

I left before talking to the manager because it was the early morning rush and I just dont have time to sit there. But, I did call the store and corporate. The store manager was not helpful as he was the same guy who took the card. Corporate took the information and is going to escalate it to the franchise manager.....who is the same guy 🙃 So I guess we will see what happens.

For everyone who came to give relevant advice, contribute to the conversation, or compliment my nails, thank you!!

For everyone who was so confused, my daughter and I were in the same car at the same time with both cards. Guy takes one, and I still have the other one that I was not using to give to my daughter. Hope that clears it up for you.

And for those of you are saying it's AI, you're spending far too much time on the internet and need to work on your discernment skills.

Is there any advice the girls gave on the show, that stuck with you?

I have a couple,

"Rose, in life sometimes good things happen, sometimes bad things happen. But if you don't take a chance, honey, nothing happens."

and

"Oh please, Rose, none of us is a schoolgirl anymore. Although, frankly, sometimes I am mistaken for one" " Oh, please, Blanche!" " The point is life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, sometimes you have to grab your happiness where you can get it"
