Somehow I knew Sunday was going to be difficult...
First clue
My first clue was that when my co-worker turned up at 9 am (on time, I was early) the first thing she said was "I am soooooo hungover!". She was not only hungover but operating on only 2 hours sleep. Fortunately there was a lot of no-contact-with-the-public stuff to do. She managed to do it without breaking anything or injuring herself, but it did take a bit longer than usual.
Ed's convenience store and news service
There was a double fatality road crash nearby overnight, and one road was closed. All morning (until the road re-opened) I had this exact same conversation with various SCs:
SC: Do you know what happened up the road?
Me: Just what they said on the radio: there was a crash, two people died and the police are investigating.
SC: Nothing more than that?
Me: No
SC: Well that's not good enough, you work here so you should know some juicy gossip.
Pardon me for only knowing publicly available information, next time I'll interrogate the investigators before I start work.
I know Americans call it "Gas" but that's short for gasoline
Customer pulls up at the LPG/propane pump. Gets out of car. Opens fill point cover. Picks up nozzle. Is about to start screwing the nozzle onto the fill point when he realises there's nothing to screw it to and he's driving a petrol-only car. (Although in his defence, it was his friend's car that he'd driven home the previous night (the friend getting too drunk to drive) and his own car is an LPG model.) Still, my prediction that I will one day see somebody put LPG into a petrol-only vehicle nearly came true.
What ugly bodywork
A truck driver washed his truck in the truck wash. He then stripped down to his underwear and washed himself. His comment: "It's not too bad, but next time I won't use the high pressure option."
Hey big spender!
SC: What the f*** is this? Next door's shut?
Me: Yes, they're closed on Sundays because they weren't making any money.
SC: That's bull***t, if they were open they'd make heaps of money.
Seriously, before Sunday closing came in they were serving 1 customer per Sunday. So they'd have to take around $200 from that one customer just to cover costs. That's a lot of chicken for one person. (then again if anybody could eat $200 worth of fried chicken, it was this SC)
