But in saying that, you do get the few idiots on the other side!
yeah, i work at a petrol station at the moment and 99% of the customers are teriffic. a lot of them are regulars and will initiate a conversation out of their free will.
but for me, there always seems to be the 1 or 2 customers a shift that **** up my day. it's incredible how many people think some uni student is respoinsible for the global fluctuation of oil prices, and recently I have been copping gobfuls from certain customers coz the petrol is too expensive for them. "what a ****ing outrage.. highway robbery, expecting us to pay $1 a litre, when are you going to bring the bloody price down..." and sh*te like that.
hey.. if you dont like it, ride a bloody pushbike, looks like you need it too....
you can normally pick the people who will be rude before they walk in. usually old and bitter looking, obviously something seriously lacking in their life.
but its not too bad overall. on friday nights the pizza store next to us does roaring trade and i sometimes get lovely people offering me a piece


. makes it all worthwhile.
