It's been fair to long sense the last time I actually posted a thread here, which isn't bad thing per-say. But quick refreshed for everyone, I work graveyards at a c-store, I'm an assistant manager, we have a higher than average ratio of deaf people (calling them hearing impaired is rude) in the area of my store, and I'm semi-fluent in ASL (took a couple classes on it because I wanted to TALK to my customers).
Yes you have to pre-pay for your gas:
(BG: We're not pre-pay 100% of the time but once it his dark out we go pre-pay only)
CGD- Cranky Gas Douche
Me-
Time stamp:01:39hrs
Car pulled up guys gets out and after some fussing with the pump my terminal starts dinging at me to authorize it.
Me: *over the intercom*Welcome to (C-store)! Pump two if you could please either pay outside at your pump or come inside and pre-pay that'd be great!
CGD: *Gesticulating and yelling at me from outside*
Me: *Sigh**over the intercom* Pump two we're pre-pay only at this time, I can't start the pumps with out you paying first.
CGD:*stomps inside* When did you guys fucking start this shit?
Me: We've always been pre-pay after dark.
CGD: I came here last night and I didn't have to pre-pay the other girl fucking let me pump first.
Me: I worked last night, and I'd remember your Pontiac because of the damage along the side. I didn't let you post pay last night. Now do you know how much you want to pump or are you going to keep cussing at me?
CGD: I should call your manager!
Me:I'm the assistant manager but if you'd like to talk to my boss he'll be in at six, so you can either go to (competitor) down the road, who is also pre-pay only, or you can buy gas here. I don't care which. But if feel the need to keep swearing at me I will be calling the cops.
CGD: You fucking little bitch! I should-
Me: And you're done, *grabs store phone and starts dialing*
CGD: Fine! Fuck twenty on that pump!*throws a twenty on the counter*
Me: Yeah, no. You threatened me, you can leave now, without gas and go somewhere else. Buh-bye. *thumb hovering over the send button of the phone*
CGD: You can go fuck yourself and kiss your job good bye!*snatches his money and storms out.*
Me: Have a great night!
Yeah, I get mouthy on my graveyards. And yes he did come back to bitch at my boss about me. Boss Man backed me up and told him not come back because he threatened me. I was still there and I waved as left.
The Hearing Impaired Are People To (Ablism skip if it bothers you):
We've about two dozen or so regulars that are deaf or have problems hearing. They all try and make it into the store when I'm working because I can sign. I've taught my co-workers some basic stuff but not a lot.
ADG: Awesome Deaf Guy (He's one of my favorite customers he comes in and tells us 'You're being to loud, I can hear you down at my place!' and other such silly tings)
ADGS: Awesome Deaf Guy's Son, perfectly able to hear but still awesome.
EB: The Evil Bitch
Me:
Boss Man: My manger who's awesome
Time stamp 06:31hr
ADG and ADGS where in getting gas and smokes and having a chat with me.
EB: Hey maybe you can quit making silly hand gestures at those two assholes and you know help a paying customer?
Me: Ma'am I'm helping a customer currently I'll be with you when I've finished with them.
ADG: *signing* What's wrong?
ADGS:*signs to his dad* Some lady is being a bitch
Me:*signs to them*Don't worry about it she'll have to wait.
EB: Seriously! I'm in a hurry and I need gas and cigarettes! Those two can wait for you to wiggle your fingers at them!
Me: Ma'am they're in line in front of you, in fact there are two people behind them that are in front of you, the more you complain, the slower I'll go.
EB:*Huffs*Where's your manager?
Me:*Points to boss man*
Boss Man: *to me not to her* So my youngest learned how to wait in line in school this year, what a lovely life lesson she learned that she'll never forget.
EB:
ADGS:*quickly translated this to his dad who's cranking up.*
Me*Finished up their sale*
ADG: *speaking to EB* You know maybe you should go back to school. Might teach you some manners.
EB: Fuck you.
ADG: Dick might fall off. *leaves with his son as I talk the longest possible time to help the two customers in front of her*
Bonus: We where out of her cigarettes and she only hand a hundred and wanted five in gas, I couldn't and wouldn't break it. She left SO mad.
Do NOT pick at my under minions!:
I do books twice a week, during those days I work from 04:00hrs to 12:00Hrs and am in charge of the store. There is no calling Boss Man on his blessed days off unless something MAJOR is wrong or has happened. Like the store being on fire, he's in charge from bringing the wieners for roasting. Also he calls us his minions, myself being the senior minion.
SC: Needs to learn what no means.
C: My under minion and BFF outside of work
Me:
Time Stamp 05:38 hr
C is helping customers while I'm trying to find a money shortage. I didn't hear the start of it because I had my head in the safe looking for missing drop envelopes.
C: Hey Talasar, can you stop for a minute this guy wants to talk to you.
Me: *sigh* Yeah. *hauls self out of the safe and to my feet* What's going on?
C: Well he-
SC:*interrupts her* This girl won't sell me a fifth of Bartons!
Me: It's not six am yet.
SC: I don't care I want a fucking bottle and this bitch won't sell to me!
Me: Yeah well legally we can't, and judging by your behavior even if it was time, I'd say you're well past done for the night.
SC: The fuck does that mean?
Me: It means that it appears you've had to much to drink, there for legally we couldn't sell to you anyway. Sorry but we can't help you here.
SC: It's cause this little bitch said no once already isn't it! I want my bottle.
Me: Sorry can't help you, if you're not buying anything else you need to leave. Or we'll have to call the cops.
SC: *leaves swearing all the way*
C: Hey that drunk didn't spit on you this time, that's like a plus.
Me: It's cause he hear what happened to the guy that spit on me.
C: What was that?
Me: We don't talk about it.
A few months back a drunk spit on me when I would sell him a fifth, I reacted...poorly. I didn't lose my job because he'd assaulted me first but I could have. Considering I grabbed a fist full of his hair and the collar of his shirt tight enough the choke him just a little then bodily threw him not just out of my store but off the property, then told him if he came back I was going to beat him with a tire iron. Then I called the cops, then my boss, then I freaked out. But hey I didn't get in trouble, and will never do that again.
Never put the snarky graveyarder on second shift to train newbies:
This is back when C was first hired, Boss Man had me train her on second shift.
C: Under minion
CHG:Crazy Homeless Guy
Me: I should not be awake before the sun goes done, ever.

It's about half way through our shift and I've just let C go out and smoke.
C:*Coming back inside* Hey Talasar, there's a guy just sitting on the side of our building.
Me: Okay take over the registers, I'll deal with it. *grabs the store phone and a cigarette of my own and heads outside. Sure enough there's an older gentlemen sitting on a duffle bag on the side of our store.**Light cigarette* Sir, I'm sorry but you can't sit on the side of our building.
CHG: What are you going to make me leave?
Me: Well sir if you don't I have to call the cops.
CHG:*Snorts* Well tell them to bring me a pizza.
Me: Okay. *Dials the store phone and calls the cops* Hello, this is Talasar at the (C-store) on 1ST and Blah st. I've got a gentlemen that's sitting on the side of my store and refusing to leave. *starts giving details to the dispatcher*
CHG:*has stood up at this point and gets in my face* You're just another one of those fascist pigs! Argle Bargle *Tin hatter ranting all of three inches from my face*
Me: He's gotten in my face now. *Boom ice water in my veins because I'm not even stepping back*
C:
CHG:*Still ranting*
RHD1 & RHD2 :*just existed the store as this is happening* Everything alright here?
CHG:*finally backs off*
Me: Yeah, the police are on their way. *RHD1 and RHD 2 loiter outside while I finish my smoke and CHG wanders across the parking lot*
The Police showed up a little later I point CHD out and they go talk to him and tell him not to come back over to our C-store.
And Fin.
