Hey Big spender (ranty)

[underemployeed]

I would like to thank the big spender I had recently because while they were almost as pointless as the $0.79 in my gigantic hummer man who, I once had grace my presence and I thought it was a joke because it was probably enough to start the hummer back up. Now, I realize one thing, the $0.52 I received from you was so much worse not because I got home and had to run the numbers to find out you got .218 gallons of gas which on looking at the industry's BEST for you style of vehicle using much newer numbers than your tank get about 19mpg which means 4.142 miles you could travel. Since I gave you benefit of doubt on all calculations I hope your home or bank is more than 4miles round trip from my gas station or any others. Finally I am getting to why I hate you. Hummer man had 2 quarters, and 1 dime with his pennies. You gave me 47 of the most disgusting pennies I have ever been forced to count. I managed to only find 4 that didn't instantly stick to my hand. The phrase, "I'm so sorry, I'm completely broke till payday and had to dig into my nasty cup holder where I spill pop all the time so I can get home" still would have aggravated me but at least I could prepare for it, and not have to hide my shock as to not offend your delegate senses. Also, that you for reminding to use your rewards card because every POINT and yes I do mean that single point you got counts.

After soaking the pennies is scalding hot water from the coffee maker and letting them soak it only helped to lessen some of said grossness. I had to go in the back and dig out rubbing alcohol to finish the cleaning, and they still were iffy.

Thankfully, I previously had some good customers that night.
Lady who told me she used all the TP 3hrs before I would have ever went in there.
Guy who must have felt I gave him homicidal look for being on his phone, due to look he gave as he set it down and apologized.

Wow, I can't believe (well, ok, yes I can, unfortunately) that someone nowadays would buy 50cents worth of gas. Just Wow.

I can recall as a teenager, a bunch of us gathering our change to buy 50 cents worth of gas to get home on after a fun night out, and feeling like a real and true idiot for it at the time - and that was when we got a full two gallons for it (yeah, I'm old ).

I have been in the "holy cow, tomorrow's payday and I am out of gas" crowd before. Mostly due to teenagers, but hey. I have never not had enough for even a gallon of gas, though. That just boggles me.

Do you mean to tell me a customer got off their phone?? Then even apologized?!?! The apocalypse is upon us! Ahhh!! Run away!

ooo....I was totally almost this person the other day! Well, not so much the 50 cents only part but definitely the nasty coins from the soda soaked cup holder. I work about 30 mi from home and got to work when the light went on thinking I woud stop on my way home to fill up. Halfway thru my shift I realised that I didn't have my wallet in my purse! I panicked hoping that I had enough car change to at least get me a couple of gallons. I did find enough change for a couple of gallons but they were nasty! I was going to clean them though! (hooray for acid wash at work!) but I found my wallet....in my pocket....

So I kinda get where this guy was coming from...maybe 50 cents was all he had/needed to get home.
