Posted By: <b>Bill Williams</b><p>Work Related:<br>1.) People at my station who ask for tidy wipe cause they got gas on their hands.(They're at the pumps people)<br><br>2.) People who come upto the counter to get Cigarettes, beer, etc, while talking on the cell phone. Hang the dang phone up for a minute and treat me like a human being, not some autonomous drone behind the counter.<br><br>3.) People from New Jersey who sit at the pump and honk because they don't know how to pump gas.<br><br>4.) Underage kids who come upto the counter and attempt to purchase beer/tobacco with their fake ID's Seriously, I can tell you printed it out on the computer.<br><br>5.) Underage kids who come upto the counter and attempt to purchase beer/tobacco with no ID then tell me &quot;I buy cigarettes here everyday and they don't card me.&quot;<br><br>6.) The same kids who then go back to their card and send their older friend back into the store to buy said beer/cigarettes. I'm not an idiot. I know you're going to give it to a minor, I'm not selling to you either. <br><br>7.) People who want to fill their SUV's with 80 gallons of gas 30 seconds before closing.<br><br>8.) People who can't read the signs that say:<br><br>a.) Turn Your Car Off Before Fueling. (Are You Trying to blow us all up?)<br><br>b.) Stay at the pump while fueling. (It's not my fault that you got back into your car to smoke/talk on the phone/beat your kids. Don't expect me to pay for the 5 gallons of gas you spilled because the pump didn't shut off or you didn't have the nozzle in the car correctly)<br><br>c.) Do not talk on your cell phone while fueling (see note on a.)<br><br>d.) Don't smoke/light a cigarette while fueling (Are you a complete IDIOT?!?) <br><br>e.) All Pumps are Prepay. (Do you know how many people I see everyday? Unless your a 20-something female with a great body, I probably don't remember you. Besides those signs have been up there for over 5 years. If you came in everyday you'd have seen them by now, and don't use the excuse that only young kids drive off. 90% of the people who drove off before we implemented the policy were over 50 years of age and male.)<br><br>9.) People with No Handicap Sticker/Placard who use the Handicap pump. (Mental Handicaps don't count here people.)<br><br>10.) People with No Handicap Sticker/Placard who use the Handicap pump and expect me to come out and pump their gas. (Keep honking buddy)<br><br>11.) If you're going to ask for directions be nice about it. I know this area well. There are places you don't want to end up.<br><br>12.) No we don't have a public restroom. No we aren't required by law to provide one. Yes there are cameras all over the parking lot. No you can't pee behind the dumpster.<br><br>13.) It's after 1 AM. I don't care if you tell me I can keep the change from a 20 for a 6-Pack, you're not getting beer. <br><br>14.) We keep less than $100 in the drawer after dark. No I can't cash your $500 winning lottery ticket.<br><br>15.) I have no control over the price of Gas, Cigarettes, Beer. I know you don't get paid like a prince, (neither do I.), No I don't see you coming and raise the prices.<br><br>16.) I have no way of knowing if the person who was here 3 shifts ago shorted you $8.00 in your change. No I am not going to give it to you and take it up with them later.<br><br>17.) Sorry we don't make change for the laundry mat down the street (unless your a 20-something female with a great body)<br><br>18.) Yes drunk woman, your boobies are nice. No I'm not giving you free cigarettes/beer/gas if you show them to me.<br><br>19.) No we don't sell single cigars, You can buy a pack but if I see you in my parking lot dumping the tobacco and rolling a &quot;fattie&quot; I am going to call the cops.<br><br>20.) I've got you, your car, and your license plate on video/audio recording. Don't tell me to Go &quot;F&quot; myself. Don't threaten me, Don't cause a commotion. I will call the police.<br><br>21.) No I cannot pop the lock on your car. I can call the police and ask them to come do it, but that's a Low priority. Expect a 30-60 minute wait. <br><br>21A.) If you're waiting for the police, I don't care if you want to chat when I am not busy. Sports, Politics are ok, but I don't need to know what your doctor told you about your (goiter, hemmerhoids, prostate) medical condition.<br><br>22.) No you can't hang out in the station while you wait for a (ride, bus, pot delivery)<br><br>23.) The sign on the door says &quot;Only 2 Students allowed in the store at a time&quot; Not 3, not 4, not 17.<br><br>24.) No I am not the person who hires people. No I won't be a reference for you/put in a good word for you, I don't even know you. &quot;The sign on the door say long haired hippies need not apply.&quot;<br><br>OK Rant over I came in here to say I hate people who use graded terms (PSA/GAI/BGS) in their titles on ebay for raw cards or BCCG, USA, other bottom tier compaines cards they are selling. I am only looking for BGS graded cards only. I don't care if you think it will cross over to a BGS 10. Don't use BGS/BVG to descrbe a PSA graded card.<br><br>I saw the few Gas Station things in here and I got started like a freight train and couldn't stop.

Posted By: <b>mark s.</b><p>entry 23.) above REALLY reminds me of goodwin goldfaden of adco sports on santa monica blvd, los angeles, in the late 60's/early 70's... <br>he would only allow two youths in his store at a time, despite a line of kids/teenagers outside...<br>tho curmudgeonly ole goody was really not one of my favorites, what i really HATE is the fact that THOSE days are gone forever...
