Need advice

So on Monday I interviewed at store A for a Manager spot at 14/hr, full time with benefits and the manager seemed really great and so did the staff. She hinted at me expecting the job offer, so I’m waiting for that.

However, I have another job offer from store b at $17.50 a hour just to be a key holder. The DM and Regional really like me there as well. I’d be part time with no benefits outside of PTO/Sick, and while the DM said I’d be good on hours, it was a verbal promise and we know how those go in retail when it really comes down to it.

Store A is 28 miles away from my house with a 35 min drive without traffic and only having to get on Dixie and the synder to outer loop, Store B is 45 miles with a 50 min drive without traffic of getting on Dixie, the synder, 65, the watterson, and shelbyville rd. ( located in West Point)

I can’t figure out which is the better offer honestly because Store A would make me be $15 short on rent (which I can easily make up but I’d be struggling for the next two weeks) or Store B would give me a extra $250 after rent but only if I’m working full time hours which aren’t guaranteed.
