Persona 4
Part-time jobs can be discovered on the bulletin board in the Central Shopping District. Night time jobs can be accessed by using the front door of the Dojima Residence and choosing which job to work at.
In Persona 4 Golden, all of the previously existing part-time jobs as Persona 4 return plus one new evening job to work as a dishwasher at Shiroku Pub. The Weather affects availability and bonuses. Additionally, the protagonist can now go out into the map of Inaba at night, and having a job with evening hours allows the protagonist to leave the house even if Dojima is home.

Random Choices
When working as an envelope folder, translator, and crane folder, the protagonist may receive a prompt to make a decision that affects his pay. The first option always poses risk with a chance of getting less money, while the second option always avoids taking risk.

When you pick choice #1 | When you pick choice #2 |
---|---|---|---|
Envelope Folder | 40% | 40% chance of getting 200% pay, 60% chance of getting 60% pay | Normal pay |

Pub Customers
In Golden, working at Shiroku Pub will increase Diligence plus Courage, Understanding, Expression, or Knowledge based on which customer has stopped by for the night. On Friday through Sunday, all four customers return and the protagonist can select one to speak to and get their respective Social Stat. On all nights of the week, this second stat gain doubles if the weather is bad.

Monday | Seemingly Brave Old Man | Courage |
Tuesday | Grumbling Young Man | Understanding |
