This woman had the brass neck to show up two minutes before closing time. Gritting my teeth, I let her in cuz it's not closing time and we can't not let people in when it's not time to close. She takes about ten minutes filling her car to the brim, then comes in. Her card declines.
So I have to scribble out a form for her, she takes ages to find her driving license, and in the end, my colleague Sarah and I are half an hour late to finish. Sarah is thankful that her husband is collecting her tonight, as otherwise her train would be long gone, and I am silently cursing the SC and hoping that she steps on a hundred Legos every single day.
While I am aware that we are open right up to closing time, the vast majority of last minute customers tend to realise that we close soon and just put in ten pounds worth of fuel as well as pay with cash so that it's quicker. What sort of arsehole shows up late, then fills their car all the way up without checking to see if they could pay?
Karma did bite this SC in the arse tho; she forgot to come back and pay and didn't answer her phone when we rang her. So her details were passed on to a collection agency. The SC ended up having to fork out twice as much as her petrol cost in the first place, cuz of the agency fee that was added on.
