Gas station stories

>pull up to gas pump
>walk into gas station
>"Can I get $20 on Pump #X?"
>"Thanks, have a good night."
>walk out
>pump gas
>drive away
This is every trip to the gas station I've had since they started charging more for using credit instead of cash. Before I could just use my debit card and not have to endure any human interaction.

Im a regular at my closest station. Owned by some arabs. Two younger dudes work in the am and older dude at night. They work 9 hour shifts 7 days a week. They good people. Fist bump the am dudes and on first name basis with Sing (thats how he pronounced it) the older dude in the evening.
I love it.

I would just pay the fee.

>go to gas station around 11pm like i usually do to avoid people
>car stops at the intersection
>guy from car yells "shave your beard"
>i thought he said "save your beard"
>t-t-t-thanks
>car peels away

>3-4 months ago, taking a bus home from Quebec.
>Makes a 2 hour rest stop in Ottawa
>Decide to wander down the nearby street that has all the bars on it
>Get about half a dozen blocks away when I find the Esso.
>Walk in and buy a cheap cigar from the clerk wearing a safety vest
>tall, middle-aged Arab guy that looks like he's tired of life
>Only other employee in there is a bubbly Tim Hortons Filipina lady
>Buy a donut, I think it was Maple cream, and a coffee from her
>Chit chat for a bit, make a dumb joke about the two of them working there. She laughs while the old dude just grunts
>Leave, go and eat and smoke on the sidewalk concrete bench thing

>5 minutes later, some goof and his normie entourage pass me by, he hollers "hey douchebag!" and compliments my outfit
>Not sure if sarcastic

But seriously, the Arab guy and that Filipina, those two were like a classic comedy duo. Def one of the highlights of traveling.

Do any of them wear a silver ring around the wrist

I worked at a gas bar, it was comfy but I never got many shifts.
I got the highest rank for attendance on the performance reviews. My whole time there I was late 45min on my last shift because bullshit daylight savings

I'm pretty glad there's a thread just for these.

>working alone at like 7 PM
>people who live in the neighborhood are pretty well off and nice, but since the station is right off the highway, we get beggars and druggies
>it's pounding rain and howling wind, so no one is going to walk to the kiosk
>sitting behind counter, reading on phone when I hear the door opening ring
>guy walks in, tall and white, haggard looking with thick mustache and baseball cap over eyes
>soaked from rain
>turns to face me, I see his cloths are dirty and he has a big scar on his neck
>I stand up and open my mouth to say hi
>he just slaps a $5 bill down on counter, walks over to freezer, hucks a 20 pound bag of ice over his shoulder, and walks out

Convinced to this day he needed to refrigerate a victim.

>work at gas bar
>training was bs and for in store
>"wear wire mesh glove while cutting deli meat"
>sell wood for at least 2 years
>someone points out there are 2 types
>one is cheap and one isn't
>been triple charging random people for wood
I would just say "grab your own bag" and no one corrected me until that one guy

It's like 10-13 cents per gallon. I'm not paying an extra dollar because gas station owners found that they can break the law by calling it a cash discount instead of a credit card surcharge. We're talking literally tens of dollars every year.
