My plan today is to fill my car full and then refill when I get home to see how much it will cost me in gas to travel there.
So here are all the questions I've prepared:
-what is salary?
-how often is pay?
-what are the hours & days? & Business hours of operation?
-will I be an employee or entrepreneurial contract?
-Are there any office/admin/business duties that you may also need assistance with (she's a small business) and I'm a business student.

Any thing else you can think of that I need to know before making a decision. I figure if it's weekly pay but a lower wage I can live with it, I'd rather be an employee, cause entrepreneurial contracts mess up income tax (had a bad working experience last year), and also I definitely want to know roughly what my schedule will be, the last small business I worked for screwed me by not giving me a schedule (same bad experience) where I was just asked every day, when the next time I can come in is.

Sorry for the long blurb, I just want to be good and prepared, and I don't want to get stuck in a job that will cost me more in gas to get there. Thank god it's a bit of highway driving, it may not cost as much to get there that way.
Good questions: How about tipping by customers is it allowed?

Back to the big dog questions: Can you give me an idea of the range of breeds that you groom? How do you usually handle the heavier dogs, in terms of moving in and out of the bathing area? Is there a ramp, or stairs?

What is your policy on muzzling? Do you have various sizes of muzzles available if necessary?

are the dogs crated before bath, and after blow dry grooming?

Do you know pet CPR? Do you expect me to know it?

do you have a basic first aid kit, and where is it kept?

What is the work flow like? How many dogs would I be expected to wash/blow dry in a row?

Oh and for me, want to come to my house to learn how to wash and blow dry a large double coated breed?
