First Job

Work with your friend. When you start working you'll be able to afford the more expensive stuff. I know from personal experience, that working with a friend is alot better than trying to entertain yourself with a broom.

Take heed: this advise is coming from someone who is a health nut (I am a triathalete) and am in management in a large chain hardware store (Lowe's).
I suggest making the drive. Can you ride a bike that far? I know it is a ways but with a little bit of practice, you can easily do it in under an hour each way. I don't recommend it every day, but 3 times a week is fine, especially if you are working a full shift.
Regardless of size and price, the life experience and work opportunities will be greater at the larger store, especially away from your friend. You will enjoy working with a wider variety of people and products.
