Convenience Store (Triple Seven)[]
A part time job open during daytime at Shibuya Central Street. Unlike other jobs in Persona 5, no Social Stats are required, but no points are rewarded either. While 2,800 yen can be earned per shift, the protagonist can earn more or less money depending on his response in situations that may occur during his shift. For success, he'll receive ¥3,800, and for failure, ¥2,300.[1][2]
Working here is necessary to identify the heist target of the Mementos request "Calling for Justice for Cats." which will be revealed during the end of a shift if the protagonist has already worked at least two shifts at the Convenience Store.
In Persona 5 Royal, working at the store now raises the protagonist's Charm by 2 notes and pays him 3,500 yen in regular shifts. If the protagonist works on the 7th, 17th and 27th days of each month, he will note the location of the barcode of two items chosen randomly; the player will then be prompted one of these items to correctly recall the said item's barcode location. During this, the chat log feature will be locked, so it cannot be exploited while viewing the items, but all items can be reviewed through the log before the "quiz" itself starts. The player will have two attempts to answer this and how the player answers will affect his wage and Charm points from that shift:
- Correct answer on the first attempt: 7,400 yen and 3 notes of Charm
- Correct answer on the second attempt: 5,800 yen and 2 notes of Charm.
- Incorrect answers on both attempts: 3,500 yen and 2 notes of Charm.
| Item | Correct answer |
|---|---|
| Cow's Milk | Near the company logo. |
| Skeleton Umbrella | On the back of the handle. |
| Zeb-ramen | Next to the zebra info. |
| Tiger-striped Pants | The inside tag. |
| Shonen Trip | The company info on back. |
| Black Box | By the logo on the back. |
| Ink Crunchies | Right side of the front cover. |
| Panda Bread | Near its tail. |
| Racing Newspaper | By the comments section. |
| Black Donuts | Near the brown sugar info. |
| Edo Rice Balls | Check the back. |
| Jumbo Vanilla Cup | Next to the mascot. |
In addition, random Confidants can meet with the protagonist while he's working at the store, which will grant 1 Confidant point with the respective person. They can all appear starting from the protagonist's third shift at the store. Unless they aren't initiated yet, they'll appear in this order: Haru, Yoshizawa, Makoto, Mishima, Yusuke, Ann, Ryuji.[2]
Flower Shop (Rafflesia)[]
"Oh right, I didn't explain things to you last time. We'll occasionally get orders for bouquets, in which case I'd like you to pick out the flowers. I'll vary your pay based on how pleased the customers are with what you chose... Oh, and if you get stuck, I suggest you study up with Flowerpedia. You can do it!"
A part time job in Shibuya Underground Mall. In the original Persona 5, the job is available during both daytime and evening but in Persona 5 Royal, it is only available during daytime. It requires Rank 2 (Head-turning) Charm to start. Normally, 3,200 yen can be earned daily, and the protagonist can boost his Kindness by 2 notes.[3][4]
The protagonist may be commissioned to make bouquets for specific customer orders. In Persona 5, this is done every 2nd time he works at the shop while in Royal, this is done on his second shift (regardless of the day of the week) then on all Wednesdays and Saturdays afterwards. The bouquets always consist of 3 types of flowers, although some may have more types that qualify than necessary. How accurately the bouquet reflects the customer's request will affect the protagonist's wage and his Kindness yield:
- 3 correct: 3 notes of Kindness, ¥4,300 (Persona 5) / ¥7,800 (Royal)
- 2 correct: 2 notes of Kindness, ¥3,200 (Standard wages)
- 1 or none correct: 1 note of Kindness, ¥2,400
Both the orders and the flowers are divided in size and color. If the protagonist reads the Flowerpedia book that can be bought at Hinokuniya in Shinjuku, the flower choices will have more details on both their scent and their meaning, allowing him to excel at bouquet commissions starting from the 4th.
There are 9 requests which are given in order. After all of them have been completed, the requests will then be given randomly. After the first random request (specifically the 20th visit) there will be no more shifts without requests.
| Flower | Size | Color | Scent | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scarlet Rose | Large | Red | Strong | Passionate love |
| The Sweetest of Peas | Normal | Blue | Strong | Beloved memories |
| Stinking Olive | Small | Orange | Strong | True love's embrace |

| Care-nation | Shiny | Red | Tame | Innocence of love |

| Justice Jasmine | Small | Light Blue | Aromatic | Give it to someone adorable |
| Venerable Chrysanthemum | Large | White | Dull-scented | Faithfulness and truth |

Working here is necessary to identify the heist target of the Mementos request "Who's Been Assaulting People?" which will be identified at the end of a shift after receiving the request if the protagonist has already worked at least two shifts at the Flower Store.

They can both appear starting from his 3rd shift at the flower shop. Yusuke appears on odd days, and Haru appears on even days. They might not appear on certain days.[4]

A part time job open during nighttime at Shibuya Central Street. It requires Rank 2 (Decent) Proficiency to start.[7][8]
Under normal circumstances, 3,600 yen can be earned per shift. In addition, working here boosts Proficiency, normally yielding 2 notes.
Sometimes, the protagonist has to listen to and memorize 4 orders the customers make: if he gets all of them right, his pay will be boosted up to 4,800 yen, but failing twice or more will reduce it to 2,600. His Proficiency gain is also affected: successfully preparing all orders will yield 3 notes, whereas failing twice or more will grant only 1.[7][8] After all orders are given, the log feature will be locked, so it cannot be exploited while preparing the orders, but all orders can be reviewed through the log before the "quiz" itself starts.
The possible orders are differed by size and type: they can be medium or large, as well as either curry, natto, beef, barbeque and hui guo rou. The meals will also have to be memorized in the order they were given.
Working here twice is necessary to unlocking Toranosuke Yoshida's Confidant.

Bar (Crossroads)[]
"Let's see... There's just one of me, so sometimes I can't pay attention to all my customers. Would you be on the lookout for those times? I'm sure they'll want to talk to you, too. They're all great people, so don't worry. I'm sure it'll be a good experience for you."
A bar only open during nighttime in Shinjuku, Red Light District. It requires Ichiko Ohya's Confidant to be started, Rank 3 (Empathetic) Kindness and Rank 3 (Skilled) Proficiency. This job is not accessible through the job magazines in Shibuya Underground Walkway; instead it simply requires the protagonist to talk with Lala Escargot. 5,400 yen can be earned per shift.[9]
Working here is necessary to identify the target of the Mementos request "We Aren't Just Your Slaves." which will be identified at the end of a shift after receiving the request if the protagonist has already worked at least two shifts at the Bar.
By working there, the protagonist is able to boost any of his Social Stats by 2 notes, however, he is only able to choose between the available patrons. The options rotate every day of the week.

Trivia[]

While the work is still unpaid, the protagonist gains a great increase to their Academics stat afterwards.
- At the start of Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, the gas station attendant at MOEL informs the protagonist that they're looking for part time help, although the protagonist never gets the option to work there.
- The protagonist will also work in Junes during Yosuke's Social Link Rank 6 event, in August 15-19 and optionally on Halloween (Golden only) while being paid for the former two cases.
- The name of the flower shop in Persona 5, "Rafflesia," is a reference to the shop in Persona 3 of the same name in Port Island Station, which only sells gifts.
