Do you work in a gas station?

[Brad]

I got friends that work in em, so I know the deal about closing time. I also know that you can ring anyone up (even after closing time) as long as the money in the register hasen't been counted for the day.

Well last night I was on my way home from a party, just ran out of cigs, and needed gas to make it all the way back. I decided to stop at the only place on the way home that stays open til 1am.

At 12:45pm I roll into the parking lot, people are inside paying for their gas and whatnot. I go to pump mine and the clerk cuts off my pump, I figure he wants me to pay for it before pumping so I head for the door. (guy is new and it's dark)

This guy locks the door while I am walking to it, he turns the sign to closed (even though closing is 15 minutes away). I nock on the window to tell him I need at least $1 in gas to make it home (although I was going to fill up anyway) but he just acted like he couldn't hear me.

I guess he had somewhere to go and couldn't waste a minute of his time on me right? What an +++++++!

Well I can be one to!

I almost diden't make it home last night, and almost burned out my fuel pump in the process.

This morning I counted up $40 in lincons (pennies). Now most places won't take that many at one time cause the clerk has to count them all, unless they have to. So I pumped myself $40 worth of gas this morning and hauled my big bag of lincons inside, dumped them on the table and said "Thats for pump 6!"

Then I waited by the door while the same guy spent 15 minutes of his time counting up my money.

LOL

Serves him right!

When I was younger I worked in one and if anyone that worked there did they would get fired. The owners would check too, if they alarm was set right at closing time then they would give a warning. The place is open till whatever time THEN you count out.

Alot of gas stations around here don't even close (most of them on are bigger highways that either go all the way south, or very far east / west.

But, good job on screwing them over, and legally they cannot turn away pennys as they are legal tender

You made 1 mistake Brad. It did cost him 15 minutes of his bosses time now. You should have gone again short for closing time and make sure you're the last before he wants to close and go home.

Actually they can refuse a huge bag of unrolled pennies. Go into a bank and try that. They will refuse you as well.

[Brad]

correct, but in this case I had already spent $40, and as far as they know thats all the money I had, so they had to take it
