Thinking about job availability at a restaurant/retail job (part-time)...what time does the 2nd shifts start?

• I am going to be looking for a part-time job in retail or somewhere like a restaurant, but I'm not sure which is the best way to schedule my classes with the options I have. I can either go on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30-2:15, means I could most likely make a shift that starts at 3:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays and have Tuesday and Thursdays morning availability. Or I could go Mondays/Wednesdays until noon, and Tuesdays and Thursdays until 10am. What time do the second shifts usually start? Is it better to have morning availability or does is there not really very many employees working at those times? I really don't know of any good part-time morning jobs that uses a lot of employees so I was thinking maybe it be better to have an open afternoon/night availability. thanks

  a tradiitonal 2nd shift usually starts 3:00 to 3:30 - it could be different depending on where you work - might start as late 4pm or as early as 2pm part time retail is going to be nights 6pm-close or weekends (any hours possible) usually only full timers/mgmt work day shift in retail (open(9-10am) to 6pm or so)
