should I call or wait

should I call or wait?
5 days ago I interviewed in Florida. I was contacted 2 hrs later and offered a job. Initial offer was $13/hr - same as what I make currently in MA. I contacted same person (Gen. Manager) 2 days later and asked if we could add some health Benefits into the offer. He told me he would look into it with human resources in the morning and could I call him back at 11am. I called and got his voicemail. He knows I'm on vacation for 3 more days. It's been 3 days since that last conversation and I'm worried they mayhave "abandoned" me. Should I check in or give it some more time? I want this job and I'm pretty sure they want me. I kind of agree with zornudo- I hope they're just checking the details for me. And I don't want to be too pesky. This all happened quickly! Terry- thanks for your answer. I'm making $13/hr with 100% paid family plan now. I hope to start at the same in Florida. I think I will call mondayt afternoon if I don't hear back by then. Just to check.

I would think that a general manager would have a lot on his plate. He's probably not ignoring you, just really busy and HE probably has not heard from HR.

i just went thru a 15 month job search with over 35 interviews. i got to the second interview with almost all of them. to a man, they said that they would call me. i got calls from 3! if you want the job, i would call him monday am and ask him where you are in the process. all you are doing is asking for information upon which to base a decision. if you get the voice mail, ask him to leave a message on your phone (if it's private) or tell him that you will call him back about 3 pm at the end of the day. if he doesn't respond in a couple of days, you may want to try one more time. if by then he hasn't responded, you got your answer. people call it busy, i call it rude. People don't follow up with interviewees. I know you want the job but you have to set a deadline, after which you have to move on. By the way, i would wonder about a $13@hr job that didn't have health benefits. At that pay rate, it's going to be tight to afford it on your own.
