Long time, no see. This gas station I'm at is pretty slow, very easy, more issues with coworkers than customers. There are a few diamonds in the rough though.
Okay. Background: We are not allowed to sell cigarettes or alcohol without a license or ID that will SCAN INTO THE REGISTER. This means that anything that does not scan cannot be taken. This means passports and military IDs or any state ID that will not scan through (so if you're from Ohio, you're fucked, it doesn't work in the system, tough luck.) Why this is: We failed so many stings that they shut down our alcohol sales for two weeks and corporate deemed us a "problem store." Since all this happened before I started working there (except the alcohol ban, due to bureaucracy, that was during my time) we are not to blame but we're still under the hawk eye of corporate.
SC: I can get into another country but I can't get fucking BEER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
SC: This is a military I.D. I'm OBVIOUSLY 18.
SC: Can this other guy buy it for me?
SC: I'll just send in my friend! (Yeah, haha, you can guess how that evil plan worked.)
SC: Are you gonna be a cunt and ask for my I.D.?
SC: This is stupid, you're stupid.
SC: I guess I'll just have to talk to your manager about your I.D.ing practices.
--------
SC: Tell corporate to stop doing this.
Me: My DM is here if you want to yell at her. She's kinda scary though, so if you think you can handle it, by all means.
SC: No, you yell at her.
Me: Listen, if you think I'm gonna yell at a woman who can fire me, you've got a reality check coming.
--------
SC: I need 567 50/50.
Me: Night or Day?
SC: Is it night time?
Me: ...night or day?
SC: I said, IS IT NIGHT TIME?
Me: You can either tell me whether this is day or night or you can go somewhere else to get your tickets because I am not paid enough to stand through this.
SC: ........day.

CW: I'm sorry, your card says it was not approved.
SC: That's impossible, I just deposited 7000 dollars! LOOK AT MY BANK STATEMENT.
CW: ...I'm sorry but...I can't just make it go through, that's something you'll have to talk about with your bank.
SC: BUT THERE'S MONEY ON THE CARD. SEE?!?!
CW: ...okay, I see that, but the card has to go through the system in order to work.
----------
SC: Your pump is broken.
Me: Okay, lemme go check it out with you.
SC: (snotty) Do you get this a lot?
Me: Get what a lot?
SC: Pumps being broken?
Me: No. Not a lot at all actually. Usually it's just that a customer pressed something wrong.
SC: Well I didn't press anything wrong.
Anyone want to guess what went wrong? LOL.

SC: You shorted me six dollars yesterday.
Me: I wasn't here yesterday.

BG: Our one door ringer is broken so sometimes there are ninja customers that seem to come out of nowhere that you didn't know were in the store.
SC: CAN I GET SOME SERVICE? IS ANYONE WORKING?!
Me: *flies out of the back room where I was putting stuff away* I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in, our door bell seems to be broken.
SC: WELL YOU SHOULD BE PAYING MORE ATTENTION. WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER WORKERS!?
Me: ...what other workers?
SC: You know what I mean!
Me: ...we have single coverage here. If you'd like there to be more workers present, feel free to make your request to corporate.

SC: Why don't you have any coffee?
Me: ...um...it's...right here. *points at a coffee pot DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS'S FACE*
SC: ...oh.
