Gas Station Woes.

Ominousoat, your customers have some testicular fortitude, don't they?

Holy biscuit.

Methinks they make clanking noises when they walk.

I used to go to a comic book store, and the guy who was usually working invited me to start shoplifting. He told me how on Tuesdays and Thursdays the camera shut off automatically one hour before close, or how on any other day there was this certain place I could stand and the camera could not see me. I was friendly with the guy so I did not say anything, but I had known the owner a long time and would never had stolen from him. In high school I had friends that shoplifted, and after finding out they had stolen from the store I refused to bring them back. I had not problem then stealing from big stores like Wal-Mart (I was a jerk back then, no excuses) but even then I knew not to steal from small local stores that I want to see stick around.

Fun kharma update: One of the guys who always requested free ciggarettes from me (I would just ask for his ID, heh) is now working at a gas station I frequent. I'm tempted to walk in and say something like "Hey! I'm just taking the gas! We're cool, right? Right?"

On Friday and Saturday night shifts I'd always get cabs pull up with a bunch of blokes in who would pile out and then all try to get served first, as well as alternately swearing at me and calling me Jesus due to the hair and beard. Initially I'd single out the most sober one then point at the rest and tell them to shut up or get off the site. If that didn't work I'd just start moving at about a tenth of my normal speed, meaning not only did I piss off the tossers from my nice warm shop, but I made the cab driver at least an extra fiver.

I hated serving through the hatch, if it wasn't for the insurance problems I'd have left the door open all night.

Ominousoat, at least now you have a patch of real estate and security doors, and not just a counter, between you and the public.
