QUOTE]
If any of my customers are moved to say much about gas prices other than mumbled, nonspecific profanity, they make a point of saying "not that it's your fault." Maybe this is because recently I look and feel like I'm damn near ready to hang myself with my own necktie. (Right now I'll settle for two days off. I don't care if they're not one after the other.)
Gas at my store was $2.15 a gallon tonight. That's in a part of Iowa that usually runs a little more expensive than others. Thing is, now, we get driveoffs. None for August, which started out near $3 a gallon, 4 so far in Sept., which leads me to think maybe thieves are less guilt-ridden about running off with stolen gas? Hell if I know...

Quoth BeckySunshine View PostActually, having spent time both in Wisconsin and New Jersey recently, prices have been going down, and at a pretty good clip. $2.45-ish a gallon and falling...and the man of the household even saw $2.35 a gallon yesterday.

Quoth HappyCthulhu View PostWhy would Subway, of all places, require a drug test?
Don't they know who their key demographic is?

I know you'll be working for Subway, and not actually the gas station, but I think we all know that doesn't stop them from yelling at you about the gas prices.

Well, I've been working part-time for the paper, but if I want to save up enough money for wrestling school, I need something to bring in extra cash. So, I've started poking around for a part-time job in the evenings to get a few extra hours a week. (I work around 30 at the paper, I'm willing to go up to another 30, to be honest...I don't do much so I don't care for spare time.)
So who am I expecting a call from today to let me know when to take my drug test? Subway. After all the horror stories I've read on here...Subway.
And not just a Subway. A GAS STATION Subway.
And not only that. It's within a five-minute drive and/or three blocks of two dollar stores, an overpriced grocery store, a funeral home, three banks, a Greyhound bus station, at least 10 churches, and a Wal-Mart.
*sigh* It's within 15 miles of my house and only about 25 from the paper, so it's not a bad locale, even if I only get about $6 an hour and four hours a night, that's an extra $200 every couple of weeks, and frankly, I'll take whatever I can get. But damn. Why'd it have to be the gas station Subway surrounded by SC bait?Tags: None
