So I have just finished my two overnights for the week. They were forgettable. .
However, because everyone knows that I deal with stupid people (1 out of every 3 customers is stupid...guaranteed.)
Subject #1 : Truck Driver. Russian? went down the side road with his Mack truck. Two low bridges. He has to back out the way he just came because that is the only way out of that situation. He decides halfway out that he is going to cut through my parking lot and almost takes out my canopy. He gets into a pickle when he discovers that my parking lot doesn't have enough room to maneuver his 13' 4" tall truck and the huge fricken trailer attached to it. he decides to drive through my lawn into the road... yay for him.
Subject #2 : White male. Approx: 35 years old. Pulls up to my pump at about 40 mph. Leaves a skid mark from stopping at my pump. I walk away from the register so I dont have to acknowledge his idiocy and dangerous driving. My gas station has been prepay since damn near 2005. Guy stands at pump ignoring signage. Comes in ~5 minutes later screaming at me to turn on the pump. I inform him that we are prepay. He asks (in raised voice) if he can just leave his credit card inside so he can pump. I make sure that he is aware that he can use his card at the pump, but he wants to purchase items inside afterwards. I naturally inform him that I still have to place a dollar value on the pump. this would require me charging it to his card. He throws his wallet at me and tells me to hold on to it while he pumps.
To make this a little shorter, he sped out of my lot almost hitting a car and the person who owns the car. To top it off he gives me the bird and tells ME to fuck off.
Im trying to remember why I'm not allowed to remove certain people from the population. I would be doing everyone a favor.
Well Im going to go pass out now...or try to. Please remember to tip your local cows as they need money to...?
