People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Hate when I pay at the pump, which I always do for gas, and get the "Clerk has receipt" message. If I wanted to come inside, I wouldn't be paying at the pump....

This doesn't bother me so much because I can see where it's not always easy for a gas station clerk to leave the register and walk out to a pump to change the receipt roll or fix a paper jam when they're the only ones available inside.

My pay at the pump pet peeve is having to play 20 questions at the pump before I can get any gas out of it. No, I would not like to buy a car wash. No, I do not have any rewards points to redeem. Damn, it takes 5 minutes at Shell to go through the entire menu tree before I even get to the part where I select what octane gasoline I'm gonna buy. They need to speed this shit up when it's 18 degrees with 30 mph winds outside.

There's a gas station here in Nerk called. ..Pacific...something or other, that doesn't have a building. Just six pumps under a canopy. It's used primarily by law enforcement and school buses and such, but it's credit card only. No rewards or other questions. Just pay, pump, and get out. I remember when it opened like ten years ago. I was like "Yeah, that shit won't last long".

I am right there with you on that as well. I just want gas, no car wash, no points...just the gas....

Here's a few work related gripes to get off of my chest.

To the person who says "that Spanish person told me..." We have no employees from Spain currently working in our store. Just because some is brownish, speaks Spanish or has a name like "Juan" or "Maria" doesn't make them a certain nationality. They are could be Mexican or American or many other nationalities.

To the person that blames racism on being stopped at the door and asked to please pay for the beer in their pocket. We stopped you because we watch our beer aisle very closely on our security cameras, not because of your skin color.

To the gringo that doesn't like the music we play in the store. Our store caters to Hispanics, don't come in and expect to hear Barry Manilow. Go ahead and call corporate and complain, they'll laugh at you.

To the person that whines about something being cheaper at Wal-Mart. If you had a car maybe you could shop there.

To the perfectly able bodied young and thin people that use the courtesy mobility scooters just because it's fun. Fuck you.

To the old gringos that glare at Hispanic people for speaking Spanish to each other. No, they're not talking about you.

To the night manager that got her her car windows smashed by a courtesy clerk. : See what happens when you treat people like shit?

Yet another reason I could not work at a place like that...I'd tell the nimrod to get off the scooter, and the second he/she gave me an attitude I'd physically remove them from the premises and end up getting canned.
