  • Human Malfunction

    Oh god, what a night at the gas station, I'll tell you what.

    I get into work and immediate "there's something wrong with your toilet." No, there isn't. There's nothing wrong with my toilet. There IS, however, something wrong with your brain. So I walk back with the keys so I can make sure there's toilet paper in the stalls and whatnot and I get back in there and it's fine, just one of the toilets isn't flushed. Flush it, come back.

    No sooner have I put down the keys and someone says, "Excuse me, but your bathroom is filthy." I turn around with the devil in my eyes and she's already walking out the door. So I walk all the way back to the bathroom and there's someone in the handicap stall, the bathroom is IMMACULATE but it smells really bad. Attributing this to the person in the larger stall, I walk back up to the front.

    ...F. M. L. About 5 minutes later a woman comes up and says, "I just wanted to let you know that I opened that large stall and it was like...AH. Like...AGH." She made this hilarious face though. I give a very large sigh and take the cleaning bottle and keys and everything back there. It smells worse. I open the stall door and it's like...

    AGH.

    I put down all the cleaning stuff, put out the closed sign and blocked off the door.

    The best was the stuff EWs said.

    I mentioned I had it all blocked off. I was in there mopping (it still smelled bad at this point) and a woman opened the door to the bathroom and looked in and I looked up and said...

    Me: Uh...sign says closed.
    EW: But I need to use the restroom.
    Me: There's shit all over the floor.
    EW: ....but....
    Me: You're welcome to come in here but it's all wet and there's poop everywhere. I'm trying to mop it up.

    Another one went up to my CW and said:

    EW: I need to use your restroom.
    CW: Well you can see if she's done in there but somebody destroyed it.
    EW: I want to use it, open it up for me.
    CW: Ma'am, someone made a huge mess in there.
    EW: I don't care, let me use it.
    CW: I can't do that ma'am, there is human waste in there.
    EW: Then let me use your bathroom.
    CW:
    EW: YOUR bathroom, the private bathroom.
    CW: We don't have one of those, we use the public restroom along with everybody else.
    EW: ...*stomps out*

    When I was walking back to get something else and the door was still blocked I saw two girls hop over my signs and walk in. I guess they didn't mind shit all over their shoes. (Or they did because they immediately turned around and left.)

    Bonus Stupid

    Pumps 15 and 16 don't work. Not as in the screen says "Pump Offline" or something convenient like that. It's really just all the screens are blank, there are no instructions, it doesn't beep at you, it can't light up for your gas, you can't do ANYTHING with it. That's why I put bags out on the pump handles.

    I saw no less than 5 people pull up to either pump and assume that those pumps would work for them. They would pick up the bagged handles, removed the bag/put a hole in the bag for the tip of the nozzle to come out and attempt to get the pump to work. I would just sit and watch them do this. I could have told them over the PA system that those pumps didn't work but I didn't want to embarrass them further by telling them that someone was watching them be an idiot. Next time though...I think I will call out.

      You: "The toilet is FUBAR, I'm cleaning it, go elsewhere"
      Luser: Whine, moan etc.
      You: (nutter mode) GO ELSEWHERE!
      Luser: (as though there is an option) I'm telling your manager!
      You: I AM "The Manager"...now Die In A Fire!
      (Luser departs)

        They punched holes in the bag so they could pump gas anyway?!?!?!

        What did they think the bags were for? Because the gas station doesn't like selling gas? Some kind of strange prank, like shoes hanging from telephone wires? Self-aware plastic bags taking action to prevent global warming?

          The one thing that's always amazed me is how people will meticulously disassemble any and all obstacles or devices you try to put up to tell them something won't work, convinced THEY can make it work somehow....

            Oh, no, they don't think that they can make it work at all. They actually believe that they are such super-duper speshul snowflakes that the universe will conspire to cause the item that doesn't work to work specifically for them because they want to use it right that moment.

            I only wish I were joking.

              The bag over the pump handle is the universal sign that means: USE ANOTHER PUMP!
              How can someone NOT know that?

                  Oh heck YES. Call them out, publicly, on their stupidity.

                  Also, try cones in front of the afflicted pumps as well. If it doesn't stop them, they'll have even less excuse for their behavior.

                    Don't call out to the people trying to use pump 15 or 16. Just make a general announcement directing everyone in the area to watch and laugh at the goofballs trying to get the clearly marked out-of-order pumps to work.

                    Be sure to record it and put it on YouTube for everyone to laugh at.

                      I love when SC will ignore a sign that not only tells them that they can't use something but its also warning them for safety purposes. A lady spilled her coffee in my store one day. I put up a warning wet floor sign and began to mop it up. One of my CW was warning people to watch out for the spill too. One lady just walked straight through it. I warned her it was slippery and she could fall. Her response: well if I do ill just say you guys didn't warn me of the danger and I'll sue.

                        This is where you point at the security cameras recording everything.
