Tonight's shift at the c-store was mostly quiet, mostly uneventful (thankfully), except for one major deal. Let me break the night down according to my thread title.
The Good: Guy who propped the men's room door back open then way I'd had it propped to clean the restroom, after he used the restroom. Thanks, guy!
The Bad: Guy who scowled at me the entire time I waited on him, as if I'd kicked his puppy or something. WTF did I do to you, pal?
The Douchebags: Oh, these guys! The first guy comes in, literally throws a $10 at me, without a word, and heads for the bathroom with one of the two other guys he's with. With no info to go on, I assume he had the $10.05 in gas on pump 5, so I ring that up. A lot of running back and forth between store and parking lot, yelling across the lot to the pumps, etc happens. Guy goes outside, talks to his two cohorts, comes back in. One of them stays outside, and pumps $10 in gas. I get confused, thinking they pumped twice, so therefore are getting $10 more, and try to charge for that in addition to the coffee, chips and ice they get when they're done. Guy pumping the gas is a total asshole, grumpy, cussing at the douche that threw the money at me for handing him sugar for his coffee, etc. They insist they only had the $10 in gas that he just pumped. I start to get pissed, shoot eye daggers at them, but end up voiding out the transaction from when douche tossed the $10 at me, then ring them up for the $10 grumpy ass pumped, and the other stuff. In all that confusion, I still, hours later, can't figure out if someone was at that pump ahead of them, and I had a drive-off, or if they pumped twice, and only paid me for $10 of it. Oh, and guess who paid for the other $10.05? Me. **sigh** Can I have a vacation now? Please? I really wanted to tell Douchebag, "Look, asshole, you came in here, THREW a ten-dollar bill at me, and walked away without a word. WTF was I supposed to do?" How I refrained, I don't know. Thankfully, the rest of the night was calm!

In retrospect, I could've (probably should've) waited until d-bag got back from teh restroom, and could've asked if they were sure they only pumped gas once. Meh. I was so angry by the time they were done, I didn't care either way! Have I mentioned I want a different job???
