Story of a female SC who is officially too stupid to live. 
The SC first seemed like a normal customer who filled up her car, came into the kiosk, paid, then left. That's when the problems started... when her car did not. The SC then did the following things.
1. She used her phone on the forecourt. Pretty minor, yes, due to the small chance of the battery igniting, but still merits a mention. My colleague Sara used the tannoy to tell her to come inside or sit in her car, and she chose to sit inside her car.
2. She lit up a cigarette. After making her call, the SC decided that she wanted a cigarette. Instead of walking across the road and lighting up away from the pumps, she got out of her car and lit up, right next to the pump.
Cue Sara running outside like a bat out of hell and screaming at her to put it out right now. She did, but acted as tho Sara was overreacting. 
She was extremely rude to Sara and also patronising. Um, dumbarse, you do NOT smoke on a petrol station! How thick do you have to be to not know that?
3. She wanted to use jump leads on the forecourt. This involves another person, the SC's brother who drove in with jump leads. At the time, I was there refilling the gloves and overheard her arguing with him about having to push the car off the forecourt and round the corner. "We can just do it here!" she whined. I immediately went over there to tell her that no, she couldn't do it here. "But it would only take a minute!" was her reply. Yes, idiot, and it would also only take a minute for spark to meet vapour and for the whole place to go up in a hellish explosion. Luckily, faced with opposition from me, her brother and other customers who didn't fancy the thought of meeting their maker that day, SC caved in and sulkily allowed her brother to push her car off the forecourt.
