  • The Cone Murderer And Other Stories

    Just a few quick stories of suck. XD


    Swearing at me will not make me comply.

    This boy came up to the counter and asked for cigarettes. I asked for ID as he looked under twenty five; we have a "Think 25" policy. He said he didn't have any, and said incredulously, "But I'm twenty seven!" I still refused. He then called me a fucking bitch slag and stormed out. Yeah, that's really going to make me change my mind, dickhead.


    What, no coal!?

    We had snow predicted last week, but it never did snow. However, we stocked up the petrol station especially on Wednesday; both grocery and coal etc; the whole place was packed to the gills. And we sold out completely. XD The suck comes at about eight pm, when there are just two people on, myself and my collegue Jim. We'd sold out of smokeless coal an hour earlier. This woman comes along and without even pausing for breath starts shouting about how she'd driven ten miles to buy smokeless coal, and we didn't have any. She didn't want ordinary coal (her words); she wanted smokeless and demanded we go get some. OK, I'll just pull some out of the air for you.


    Petrol thief caught.

    This woman named Jackie Brown (not her real name; yeah, I got it off a movie) has filled out two unpaid transactions forms and hasn't paid for either. She came in the other day and I was about to fill out another, til she told me her name. I called for Sara, the deputy manager. I told Mrs Brown that Sara would help her cuz I had to deal with the giant queue. Sara went out back and called the store manager before returning to fill the form out and stall the woman.

    Now, here's the weird thing. This woman, Jackie Brown, must have known damn well that we were on to her. Yet, she does not run; instead, she waits in the petrol station til the store manager comes over! She then goes out back with Sara and the manager. Result is; she fills out another form, but is told in no uncertain terms that she either pays up by next week for all three unpaid transactions, or the police will be informed. We have all her details; her name, address, (she'd given the addresses of other family members before, but this one is definitely her real one, cuz she gave a gas bill to verify it), car details; everything. So, if she doesn't come back to pay, she's going to get a free ride to the police station to be charged with theft. XD


    The cone murderer.

    This still makes me laugh. XD I was doing a late shift with my collegue Katie and we'd just closed the petrol station. The forecourt was blocked off with cones, and I was out there locking up the pumps when I heard a crunching noise. This guy had driven over one of the cones in order to get in. XD Cone was completely destroyed; but it didn't do him any good. I just told him we were closed, and that was that. I locked up the last pump and went back in and told Katie. Her response? "We should at least get him for first degree cone murder." I loled.

    Maybe you guys should hold a funeral for the cone?

      By coal, do you mean like charcoal briquettes, or real honest-to-God anthracite out of the earth? And if the latter, who is still using that today? Around here, the public schools finally converted to oil about 5-10 years ago, leaving only Italian bakeries and matzoh factories (and the occasional tourist railroad) as the last customers for the coal companies.

        If that woman now has filled up her car THREE times without paying for her fuel, then you guys are being WAY too nice. I have no doubt in my mind that it's intentional, and I'd just turn the matter over to the police.

          Let me just explain this a bit. It's NOT MY DECISION. I personally would have kept her there til the cops arrived, then had her sorry arse busted to hell and back for theft. However, it was the STORE MANAGER'S decision to give her one more chance. Nothing I can do about that.

          A lot of my threads seem to end up with people discussing policing tactics; please please please can this one not? It's really a Fratching topic and I don't want my thread closed.

            I'm just thinking Jackie Brown is an idiot. A scammer idiot, but still an idiot. She comes back to the same place to get unpaid-for gas. She uses her real name (movie name notwithstanding ). Did she somehow think no one would ever catch on? What's more, I'm sure you have her license plate and car details. Doesn't matter if she gave phony info because unless the car is stolen, the cops will know who did it.

              Many cones have died horrific deaths at my place of work because the idiots fail to realize that a cone means YOU DO NOT PARK HERE.

              The idiots think to themselves, Ooooh pretty orange cone!

              Oh and Lace, don't you love being sworn at for following the law? I don't see how hard it is for someone to just have their damn ID on them at all times.

                Sorry. I know it's not your decision.

                  Shame we can't get them with first degree conicide! That should so be an arrestable offence.

                  Exactly. He said he was twenty seven, yet acted more like a seven year old. Maybe someone should wash his mouth out with soap... XD
