  • Petrol Station Suck

    Today, I was able to escape from the supermarket Sunday madness. Sadly it meant I had to go to petrol to cover for someone who's ill; right during the madness of people panic buying cuz they believe everything they read in the papers. We don't even get our petrol from Scotland, where the crisis is; we get ours from the next county. But that doesn't stop people going nuts filling their tanks to the brim.

    It's Raining Change!

    This complete moron threw a handful of loose change at me and bellowed "Pump 10!" when I was serving another customer. He then left while I was picking up his scattered coins. The laugh was on him tho; he was £2.50 over. And cuz he'd left, I sadly couldn't give it to him.

    Be Fricking Patient, Moron!

    Today, roughly about 4 people came into the petrol station to whine, "The pump's broken!" due to the fact that we were run off our feet and weren't able to authorise the pump in one second. One woman barely had hers in her car for two seconds before she yanked it out and went storming over to the petrol station to moan. -.-

    Media Blackout.

    Cuz of all the people charging into the petrol station, we ended up running out of Mirrors and News Of The Worlds and cuz we were all needed to cope with the huge influx of people, we were unable to go get more. However, some people were unable to grasp this and bitched and moaned about the injustice about having to head to the main store for a paper.

    Ha Ha! *points and laughs*

    Kid: I'd like 10 Mayfair, please.
    Me: Sorry, but I have to see some ID.
    Kid: (bristles) But I'm 16!
    Me: Sorry, but the law states you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes.

    Call me a meanie, but no matter how many times this happens, I never get tired of it. XD

        I think if someone threw loose change at me, I'd pause the current transaction and call the cops. I don't take well to assault.

            That law's never made any sense to me, why allow smoking at 16 but require you to be 18 before you can directly buy them?

              The theory is that from 16 to 18 it's not considered abuse if a parent or guardian lets a child smoke. However, at 16, a child isn't considered mature enough to make that decision on their own.

                And over here, the law changed last October so that you now have to be 18 to buy tabacco products; you'd think that the kids would have found this out by now. Think it's 18 to smoke too, but not sure about that bit.

                  well actually....

                  I (and a fully warrented officer) can confiscate Tobacco and related products (inc papers) from those under 16, but not those 16+17y/o kids. They can legally smoke, but they can't buy it lawfully.
