The latest....

The Gas Nazi took a couple days off earlier this week to briefly escape from the job-related stress, but I'm Back At It now & Friday night was actually pretty smooth -- as most Friday nights are. Customers are usually in a great mood on Friday nights because it's their weekend & they want to get on their merry way, & that suits me fine.
Enough customers in the past week have thought enough of my approach or attitude or efficiency or friendliness or SOMETHING to compliment me, & that gives me The Strength To Carry On against impossible odds.
To wit: We got a computer "upgrade" a week ago that now REQUIRES us to ask customers what kind of gas they'll be putting in their car. Without that key information, they might not get their gas.
Which means it now takes TWICE AS LONG to set people up with the amount of gas they want. This doesn't sit well with some people. Especially those who are in a hurry. & it's a whole lot of fun during Rush Hour....
I've lucked out thus far & haven't been hassled too much, but I've heard that the woman who works the mornings got SCREAMED at by a guy who thought what kind of gas he was buying was none of her business, that she was invading his privacy for no reason, & he promised he'd speak to her boss about this.
So, let him. Does he think she'd ask this stuff if she didn't HAVE to? Like we really CARE what kind of gas you're buying? People can be so SO stupid....
