  • I'm not allowed to leave, ID, know what store I work for, etc

    background, work at gas station/ convince store

    What does that have to do with anything?

    Me: Hello, do you have a company X rewards card?
    Sc: No, oh wait I do have one for company Y!
    Me: Well would you like me to scan you one for us? It only takes a few seconds.
    Sc: No, I already have one for company Y, and I want to use that one.
    Me: Well that is company Y's rewards card we are Company X.
    Sc: What does that have to do with anything?

    .... Im sorry but it has EVERYTHING to do with anything. As if it was a credit card i could understand the question but it is two completely companies

    But he is over 18 and has kids!
    Our policy is to ID anyone who looks under 30.

    MB(mamma's boy)
    MM( Moron's Mamma/Mamma Moron [you decide])

    Guy comes in at like 6am

    MB: "I want a pack of blend 54s"
    Me: "I need you ID"
    MB: "I don't have it and they are for my mom she is in the car."
    Me: "Well i need you ID to prove you age regardless, its the law"

    MB storms out of the store, MM comes in

    MM: "I want a pack of blend 54s since you wouldn't sell them to my son so I didn't have to come in"
    me: "Ok but I will need you id" (I can tell she is old and has gray hair"
    MM goes outside and gets her ID, she like 54. I reluctantly sold them to her when technically I shouldn't probably have since someone else tried to buy them.

    MM: "This is ridiculous my son is 26 with two kids and you won't let him buy smokes"

    me, Took everything I had to not respond "26 and car pools with his mother to work at a grocery store as cashier or backstock, kind sad don't you think?"

    You shorted me you drawers gonna be over

    I actually love quick change artists when my manager isn't around because I can stand my ground and they piss off.
    POS (Piece of , quick change artist)

    Guy comes in and cashes in $25 of lottery wants cash, I had him a twenty and a five. Turn around to authorize a puimp.

    POS:" You shorted me!" [now holding a ONE and a five]
    me: "Really? I only had a single twenty in my drawer, and now it isn't there, you sure you didn't grab the wrong bill out of your pocket after deciding to count it once i turned around?"
    POS: "Well your drawer is gonna be over"
    ME: "Oh well [shrug]"
    POS, turns around and leaves. Next customer in line asks what was that and I explained that I handed him a twenty and he misplaced it and wanted me to exchange another 20 I didn't have for his one. They agreed that if I really shorted him really wouldn't have backed down so easy.

    NOTE TO EVERYONE: Watch out for people with $50 bills, it the main tool of the quick change people. Especially when getting $5 in gas. Count back money and maybe your manger will have your back.

    I actually got hit by a good one, He got $15 on pump 5. and $4 in lottery. So i was to give him 31, change, didn't think anything of it, He claimed I shorted him. Repeted it all back he said NO i wanted $5 on pump 15, OK i owe him $10 more. SO he hands the moeny back as i grab another $10 from my drawer, and then notice. Im, shorting him because he pocketed a $20 and put in a 1, Im argueing with him saying no I didn't manager comes over. and takes $20 from my drawer, and tells me not to worry. I was beyond pissed. We watched the tape and she sees him pocket the $20, But says we ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ARGUE.

    I was pissed that in 5 minutes he got what takes me 2.5 to make BEFORE taxes and she had no problem with it.

    I don't even work here
    I love going to walmart they have everything and cheap handgun ammo. and there isn't much in the area to pass the time. I got to best one of their SCs for them because I came from work wearing a standard navy polo and khaki pants.

    I was in sporting goods looking to see what ammo had arrived.

    SC: "Where is the [something #1]?"
    me: "Over on the next isle" (figured why waste an employees time since i actually knew)
    Sc: "Well what about [something #2]"
    me: "I have no idea."
    sc: "Why the hell not?"
    me: "No reason to be a prick about it"
    sc: "Im gonna report you to a manger"
    me: "Go right ahead I work at a gas station 20 miles from here, and I can call you a prick because your being one and I don't work here"

    In retrospect I should have kept my mouth shut, because it would have been funny to have him bring a manager to me because well I didn't work there. Now, I often try to blend in and see who else screw with me but no luck.

    I'm sorry Im going home

    Major pet peeve of mine, When you see me closing down and trying to go home. Don't get pissed at me when I saw I'm sorry im closed... I really don't care I just helped someone. Quit staring at me as I close down. OH yeah I did take another REGULAR customer when I was closed because well he was in a hurry and buys candy bars to help with our monthly goal and regularly gives them us when it is a kinda he doesn't like. So, when you random stranger are on my good side, or a hot girl, or a guy who jokes that while he likes my other male co-worker better since he a big fat guy you could just cuddle with but I'm still cute (and you laugh when I mention as long as your hot wife is cool with joining too)

    Altough, I have went to other stores and asked a guy i saw closing his drawer , "Could I Please have a recepit for #6 its all I need, thank you" and got one because I really didn't want to wait in a line of 10 people because like management at my store they don't change the paper at the pumps.

    Ugh, and what happens when you are short? I bet someone higher up will think you pocketed the money.

    MM: "This is ridiculous my son is 26 with two kids and you won't let him buy smokes"

    me, Took everything I had to not respond "26 and car pools with his mother to work at a grocery store as cashier or backstock, kind sad don't you think?"
    at least he didn't send one of his kids to buy the smokes.
    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

    I wish porn had subtitles.

      If he's old enough to have kids, then he's old enough to have ID, too.

      Idiot.

        I do that. Want to make something of it? Hmm? Maybe he was driving her somewhere. Like a good son. Maybe he pays rent too. Maybe she's the one living with him?

        Seriously not so cool that you fully admit you are willing to go the extra mile to help people you find attractive, but fuck anyone else that asks for help while your closing.

            Why the discrimination? When I am finishing up and closing I help the people who are in line and ready to check out. Once I have a break in the line, I turn off my light or put up the sign and begin informing EVERYONE that I am closing.

              Re: Carpooling. What Plaid said.

              Not so very long ago, my mother carpooled with me and lived with me. Most recently when I was 30.

              Then again, I don't have kids, always carry my ID, and know better than to buy anything age-restricted without showing it.

                I'm sorry I did not intend to offend anyone, times are tough I know, I'm 22 and live at home too, I guess there is really nothing wrong with car pooling with your mom. However, the part that really bothered me and I was trying to convey he was 26 with two kids and still is having his mom fight his battles for him. Then by adding previous observations about his situation it made me to believe he was just not very mature. Again, I'm sorry to anyone who took my comments the wrong way.


                Being attractive wasn't only way I would help but I get in trouble if I don't close down and having my drawer balanced ON TIME, so if I'm gonna risk getting in trouble it might as well be worth it, dick move I concede, I do tend to be too honest. I work at convince store and it turns into make your own line and only way to close is slide a display in front of register and say your closed, because rarely is nobody coming in and out as someone is clocking out.
                I'm sorry reading is not a new concept it has been widely taught in our nation for at least the past 100 years. Please, learn to do it CORRECTLY before you become contagious.

                  Times have changed, for sure. I remember when I was in elementary school, our school bus driver once found that he was out of cigs... he pulled up in front of a newsstand by the subway station, gave one of my classmates a couple dollars, and told him to go get him a pack of Camels. Kid must have been all of nine years old at the time. The newsstand guy didn't even raise an eyebrow.

                  (I'm pretty sure that was illegal even thirty years ago. Heck even I knew that minors couldn't buy tobacco, because the cigarette machines all said Not To Be Operated By Persons Under 18 Years Of Age, or words to that effect. It's nice to see that the laws are being enforced these days.)

                    Not really. My sister would buy cigs for my mom at 12. I could too when I was like, four at the local seven eleven. Likely because the crew there knew it was for my mom, as one time my sister did try to buy a different brand for her friends, where the clerk called my mom up and told her.

                    Mom told sister that if she going to do that, looks like her friends are going to have to smoke camels.

                      Oh, it was just as illegal then as it is now.

                      But back then, the fines and punishments were a lot less extreme, so clerks were willing to give a huge amount of lee-way.

                      My mom used to send me for her cigs all the time when I was 9 or so. It took a note and her license the first few times, and after that, the clerks would recognize me.
