I'm the graveyard shift attendant at a gas station convenience store. One of those 7/11 or AMPM kinda places. I cook the food, make the coffee, all that stuff.
Ask me anything
>>
>>8718520
What food do you cook? The hotdogs, nacho cheese, and chili? Does your convenience store also have those shitty hamburgers and sandwiches? Is it pretty gross how these things are preserved and prepared? What are the best and worst thinks that require you to make them? I've always like the jalepeno/cheddar sausages.

the nacho "cheese" and "chili" is pre-made in bags. the chili is just soy protein and I don't know what the cheese is, but its not real cheese.
But yea i cook all the kinds of hot dogs, we sell pre-made hamburgers and sandwiches but I don't make those, those are shipped to us made already. We get a lot of truckers so we sell Taquitos and Corn Dogs, because they can be eaten on the go, and I make all those
The food is all full of artificial preservatives, but Honestly the food is just prepared by putting it on a tray and into a toaster oven for a few minutes, the gross thing is most employees are too lazy to properly wash the trays or take the temperature of the food to make sure its safe to eat. You're best bet to eat is the hot dogs, cause they just go straight on the spinning grill so they can't really get fucked up by the employee.

>>8718548
Homeless people trying to buy beer/cigarettes with recyclables, telling me to just go cash the cans in when i get off work happens to me almost every day. Also lots of junkies that want to use our bathrooms to shoot up, and then leave their drugs behind. I've gotten lucky and i don't get anything too crazy, but there was one time a guy came in waving a knife around and i thought I was gonna be robbed, but it turns out he had just found a cool knife and wanted to show everyone.

>>8718551
Haven't gotten robbed yet, unless you count shoplifters.
I'm not special needs I just gotta make rent somehow.

Yes i clean everything. Everything i do requires gloves, so i never touch anything. Also i clean a few hours before i cook.

>>
Is it the worst fucking job ever?
>>
>>8722880
no, not really. its pretty easy desu. Just kinda mind numbing.
>>
I used to do this job.

One time a dude came up to the window in the middle of the night and said he was going to shoot me. Met him at a cocaine party a few days later and knocked him out.

Some guy nearly caught me smoking weed out back when I should have been working. I just denied all knowledge of it with a straight face, even though the entire place was stinking of weed.

I told the Area manager to fuck off once, and he stormed in and complained to my boss, who said to see him after my shift was over. He just told me that he knew the Area Manager was a faggot, but just to not say it to his face in future.

Started a fight with three guys who I thought were laughing at me. I told them not to laugh at me or I'd break their noses. One of them started to laugh, so I bust their noses flat for them. Was off the side of the building too, so there was no cameras.

I also used to just close up the shop and turn the lights off if I wanted some peace and quiet for an hour or so.

I actually quit the place one day, and they took me back about 6 months later.
>>
>>8723089
>I also used to just close up the shop and turn the lights off if I wanted some peace and quiet for an hour or so.
I close shop an hour early every night, and I work alone so I have permission to close the shop if i need to take care of a problem. So if i'm getting alot of shitty customers in a given night, i'll just close extra early and tell my boss the bathrooms were trashed and i needed to clean them.
>>
How easy is it? Is it slow enough that you can just be on your phone or read?
>>
>>8723229
It's pretty slow. I do spend most of my time on my phone but i'll get yelled at by my boss if i'm caught. If there are no customers in the store they want you to be cleaning the store or fronting merch or doing any busy work. But at some point there is literally nothing left to do, so i just read on my phone.I can't get yelled at for not doing my job if my job is already done.

Even in states where it's easy to get your concealed carry permit, most chain gas stations tell you not to do it. You defend yourself, you get canned.
If it's something you have a reason to be worried about, then don't be a graveyard shift attendant. It's why I quit working in fast food. Worked graveyard, found out the hard way that the company won't do shit to protect you.

I am fully educated and only come to work drunk occasionally. Joking aside >>8726335 is right. Corporate Lawyers don't want to deal with anything. The list of thing's i'm not allowed to do is outrageous.
Things I am not allowed to do:
Stop Shoplifters beyond "Sir/Ma'am are you going to pay for that?"
Go outside
Go past the doorway of the walk in freezer
Flip a breaker on the breaker box
If someone robs the store I have to just give them whatever they want and then hope not to get stabbed/shot.

I was shot in the face as a customer during an armed robbery. The guy came in pointed a gun at my head and fired. Fell to the ground and he was shooting the pharmacist. It isn't like TV, "Alright, see, this is a stickup! Give me your money and no funny business!" It isn't that at all.

It was only a .25 caliber saturday night special, so it didn't blow my face apart. But he was shorter than me and angling the weapon upwards. Fortunately, my wife had forced me to change from plastic to high density glass for my eyeware 2 weeks before and that's what saved my life. The bullet refracted through the glass and angled into my sinus cavity. Strangely enough, it ended up in my liver and no medfag could ever explain how that happened. I went to a maxolofacial medfag and he said you might have problems in the future with a hole in your sinus cavity, but he didn't want to fuck with it.

One of the humorous things was when I staggered down to the local bar with a stream of blood shooting from under my eye, I, as liberal as even Chomsky, started screaming, "fucking nigger," according to the Mafioso bartender that tried to help me. I was a regular there.

No. Barney Fife, the detective they assigned to the case went on his scheduled vacation the day after because no one was killed. A week later, when I was able to go back to work, we went through a reenactment. I'll never forget his comment, "if it had been me, I would have reached behind my back and pulled my gun and blown his shit away." Yeah, makes sense when there's a finger size fountain of blood spurting from under your eye, your glasses were blown the fuck out and you were at a white collar job at 5 in the afternoon when you should be carrying a gun.

Fucking my country, 'murrica.

not the OP, but i worked at a gas station and i did it on occasion. if the picture on the ID was the person and it wasn't a ridiculous looking fake I'd go for it, but if it was clearly a stolen ID I wouldn't. it wasn't worth the hassle to argue with some dude because his ID didn't looking 100% legit so as long as it was pretty close i'd let it slide.

Your life isn't worth a job. I carry a gun at a restaurant that would most likely fire me in the unlikely event that I would have to use it to defend myself. But I agree on not working for companies that would throw you under the bus for such a thing.

There was that one time where a Jet's delivery guy shot a robber or whatever and Jet's refused to fire that employee.

Sounds like they don't monitor cameras much then at all. I have a boss that just spies on us all day through the cameras and shits on you if he catches you even glancing at the time on your phone.

If I'm a nightowl, would this be an okay job? Or are the crappy people too much to handle?
>>
>>8728149
They look at the cameras but my boss can't bitch at me when i get all the work done.
You get used to crappy people. Kill them with kindness, just be as overly nice as possible, unless they get belligerent then ask them to leave and threaten to call the cops
