Depends on what you want. When you get older and 40 hr weeks at least are a must, your gonna want the experience and be able to write "manager" or whatever on your apps. Not to mention 40 hrs isnt that bad, and you could take out a lot of girls on that pay ;)
However, if you arent serious about working, and part time is perfect for you, Id turn her down politely, telling her you have other obligations that you cannot add too. Such as school or whatever.
What to do!
I work at Hollister (a clothing store). My job basically consists of visiting the local college campus for recruitment, and being a sales rep. I normally work about 20-25 hours a week for shitty pay. Today i went into work and our DM was there. She pretty much offered me an assistant manager position. My pay would about double, but the problem is my hours would too. I'm only 19 and i dont really care to work 40 hour weeks. The job keeps me entertained for the most part, but i dont know if i could handle the added hours and added responsibility. The way she offered me the job is pretty much unheard of apparently, and I'm kinda scared she's gunna be pissed if i turn it down. WTF do i do!

I say take it. If you will be busy, then 40 hours goes by quickly...plus its a nice way to beef up the ole resume.

The way you were offered this position without (apparantly) any shown interest on your part to advance is a little strange. I'm sure you're a good employee so don't take this as a knock on you at all, but it sounds like your DM is desperate to fill an undesireable position. Why didn't she ask full time employees, or employees who work inside the branch instead of someone who spends most of his working hours at the college campus? Why didn't she follow the typical procedure for promotion? And why all the pressure?
It doesn't sound like she has your best interest at heart, and may well be trying to screw you. It also sounds like she needs you more than you need this position; you could probably spin your current job nicely for a resume actually :). With those thoughts in mind, think about what you want and do what you feel is best for you.
