From my limited experience of such things, it's relatively easy to get a job at a funky coffee shop, because there's usually an incredible amount of turnover in the staff. It's not getting the job that's hard, it's lasting for more than a couple of months. Plus, the pay is probably better at McDonald's which is a large enough corporation to have to follow a bunch of regulations that just doesn't apply to small businesses.
Bookstores, on the other hand, especially those small bookstores, are getting harder and harder to find, as the big box stores take over. But, once you've landed a position in one, you're probably there for life, if you managed to last through the breaking in phase.
