At the convenience store...

On my way into work tonight, I stopped by a local Chevron to grab a quick bite to eat and get my energy drinks for fuel.

There are two entrances, and on occasion, the sliding doors break down.

Taped to west entry "Doors locked, please use north entrance" with an arrow pointing to go around the corner.

As I left, this young girl in her twenties goes up and says out loud, "Are they closed?"

I replied that it was just locked on that side, but they were open (read the sign why don't you?)

She went off muttering how the store should be sued for false advertising.

Uhg, the sign-illiterate people. I used to work for a Chevron, and by law we had to lock our doors after 10pm at night and serve people through the transaction drawer. There were signs we put up saying why the doors were locked and where to go with an arrow pointing towards the drawer. 9 out of 10 people would yank on the doors for 5 minutes even after I had told them over the intercom, and pushed the drawer out to show them.

And the people that would try and convince me to let them in. The most common thing? "Do I look like I would rob you?" How would I know! Anyone could be coming in to rob me, besides that it is against the law for me to open the doors between 10pm and 6am if I'm alone.

Sorry, this was something that really irked me at the Chev. Since I worked graveyards.

I had a guy call me the other day trying to sell me a mortgage. I asked how he got my information, and his answer was "it was nothing illegal"

Yeah, if that's the first thing you say when asked a legitimate question, either you get asked that a lot (which doesn't bode well for you) or it's illegal.

So, if "do I look like I would rob you" is what they think to say... Not that they would rob you, but why do people think saying things like that will help the situation?

"I'm very trustworthy, you can put me on credit, I always pay my bills" Then we have to sue because that guy never paid...

I see sign illiterate people occasionally at work, where both bathrooms are kept locked, with the keys at the counter. The reason why the bathrooms are kept locked is that some teens vandalized the men's room last summer.

If I really were a thief, I asked you that question and the answer was No, it means I'm doing something right...
