So back when I was working at the gas station, the 2nd location I worked at was one of those lovely locations where I was constantly calling the police. I was also the assistant manager.
Some guy (black) comes in and asks for cigarettes. He's probably of age, but he looks under 30 so I'm not selling without an ID. I was a complete bitch about checking for IDs. He didn't have one so I told him I wasn't going to sell to him.
A second later two women (white) come in. One looks to be in her 50s or so and the other looks to be early 30s. She's also in enough that I could recognize her. Both of them are flipping out. They want to know why the hell I wouldn't sell to their friend who was just in there. I explain that I have to card anyone who looks under 30. The younger one starts to flip out about how I sold to her earlier (again, she's in often enough, I've carded her before and she does look over 30 really) and he's older than her so there's no way that it was because of that. It has to be because he's black.
It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that I'd never seen him before and he did look younger than 30. So now they are freaking out about how I'm racist and how horrible I am. I'm irritated because I have nearly hit the point where I don't care about my job (a month or so later I went to the DM and said either transfer me or I quit) and I don't feel like dealing with this shit. I'm informed by the younger lady that she's friends with my boss and she's going to get me fired.
The older one wants to talk to my boss even after I explain that I'm the assistant manager. Fine. I call my boss. This is irritating enough as it is because she always had tons of excuses why she never answered her phone which meant I got to deal with all the shit instead of her. Well unfortunetly she answers the phone this time. Why does this suck? Because a second before, the ladies decided to turn around and walk out the door. Now I have to explain to my boss why I called her at 11 at night. I give her a heads up incase the asses come in to try to complain about me the next morning.
Awesome part? When I describe who it is who claimed to be her friend her responce was "man, I can't stand her!"
