My gas station adventures... Story by SenpaiMissKitty / senpaimisskitty Audio by PeachTreeMcgee / peachtreemcgee Edit by MartiAn / trekkie_martian Art by LostFox
Outside of Oregon, I've never seen a gas station that wasn't self-serve only. Washington gas stations don't seem to have employees. The only person who works at them is a single cashier.
Lieutenant BaconWaffles I live in Ohio and one of the gas stations in my city used to have both self-service and full service (I think that's what it's called when they pump it for you, but I could be wrong) options. The full service cost a few extra cents per gallon. However, a few years ago the station changed ownership and now it's self-serve only.
Every summer I hear people asking about seeded watermelons. It's widely believed that they are much sweeter than seedless. They're also nostalgic, as people remember talking to their friends as kids while seeing who could spit seeds the farthest. I have born witness to a line started by someone who couldn't be assed to dump their change in a machine for paper cash.
One time working at a Target, an old man in one of those electric scooters went to the paint aisle, started sniffing the paint, then went around the store wacking customers with his cane... yes he had a cane while riding his scooter. He was escorted and banned from the store. Strangest old man...
@Thee Real Daniel Son wait so is kitty doopie so that means she also voices paprika and pecan and also that was funny at 3:14 if I’m not mistaken her voice cracked
The fact it took me til tonight to finally get around to watching this video is unbelievably ironic considering the job I was put on during the last hour of my shift. I work in a factory, so what jobs we get each day can vary. During that last hour, I was put on a job regarding putting the cardboard deviders into boxes of beer that keep them separate and less likely to bang against each other and thus breaking. We'd do this by removing 1 bottle from the six pack, place the divider inside, then return the bottle to the box, glue gun the box closed and move on. The job also required all employees to be wearing gloves. There were 2 reasons, but I was originally only told the 1st, which was to make sure we didn't get fingerprints on the bottles, which made sense to me, especially considering current events. It was when I was told 15 minutes into the job the 2nd reason that... gave me pause. The second reason was so that, if we dropped the 1 bottle we were always taking out and the glass shattered, it wouldn't cut our skin. This... confused me, especially when I realized, as long as I was a little more careful, I could fit the divider inside without needing to remove the bottle at all, literally eliminating the risk of dropping the bottle at all. However, my supervisor and the person above her did not like this one bit. When I asked why... I actually had to take a minute to process what they said. The customer had specifically requested that we take 1 bottle out before putting the dividers in... meaning the fact the second reason we were wearing protective gloves... was because the customer WANTED us to risk dropping the bottle and it breaking. Let me repeat that: the customer wanted us to wear protective gloves due to the risk of dropping the bottle "we didn't need to take out in the box in the first place" because they wanted us to do the job "by risking dropping the bottle whenever we took it out". I know the saying is "the customer is always right"... but when the customer is being dumbass stupid as shit, they're being dumbass stupid as shit and I'm not going to pretend otherwise
OMG I FEEL YOUR PAIN OF COUNTING MONEY ..once is at the cash register at a grocery story the guy had about 200 Dollars of groceries and paid with a bucket of coins
I have dealt with many similar cases and all I can say is: If you can't show us workers at the store respect, don't expect us to kiss your ass. I think people honestly leave their brains at home with their empathy and humanity. With all due respect to anyone shopping, please.. just do your shopping in a timely manner when the shop isn't about to close, get EVERYTHING you intend to buy and make your payment so we mean it when we tell you to have a nice day.
I used to work at Burger King for 3 years and we had some real dumb customers. Like this one super religious couple who who either loiter for hours handing out pamphlets saying "your going to hell here's why" or they would order 40 dollars worth of food and try to pay with Jesus. Id look at them and say no money no food
You think retail bathrooms are bad. Try hardware bathrooms, 9 times outta 10, the disasters are caused by a contractor, or their kid, who has been stuck in the car for several hours and needs to go. Some top picks for the worse bathroom disasters are (* means I had to clean these disasters): -Some guy decided to bust one out in the stall, never used any toilet paper, just unloaded his milk on the walls, floor, and toilet, even let a manager know he did it so it could get cleaned, he got banned pretty quick from the store *-15 minutes from closing two obviously drunk guys, evident by the half full beer bottles they were holding, entered the store, after asking ME where the power tools are, both entered the bathroom, not even 5 minutes later I get called to the bathroom entrance by a manager. The two guys had an argument in the bathroom, had fought each other and left, leaving broken glass, spilt beer, some vomit, and even some blood over the floor, and as the cleaning guys had left for the night, it fell on me to clean it, which took over an hour to get all the glass, and clean the stains. I got a nice bonus from the head of the store though -An old contractor came by, grouchy as hell since he had apparently been on the road for several hours. He had instantly rushed to the bathroom. When he left, it didn’t take long for someone else to enter the stall, only to run out in disgust, and alert another associate. The old guy had QUITE LITERALLY filled half of the toilet bowl with shit, clogging the pipes to the point we had to hire professional help to get it unclogged. I got real lucky not to see this as I was on vacation at the time, and only heard of it from one of my coworkers. -By far the worse I have seen, and NEARLY had to clean. I’m gonna assume some kid had somehow missed the toilet taking a shit, and tried to put it in the toilet by hand, but instead ended up smearing shit all over the floor, and in a panic, tried to wipe the shit off on the walls, toilet, even the damn toilet roll dispenser thing. I was the damned soul who walked in on that horror show, and it was the only time I’ve ever vomited in disgust, cause that scene will forever haunt my memories. Other slightly less noteworthy ones: *-a guy clogged the sink and left the water on which half flooded the bathroom -a couple tried to get frisky not long before closing in the women’s bathroom stall, the lady apparently slipped and broke her nose leaving blood everywhere *-every time a kid threw up on the floor, it falls to me or the other coworkers that share my position to clean it *-a dog shit on the floor in the bathroom once, it’s why we ask customers to make sure animals have their ‘business’ done with before entering the store *-every piece of paper towel that has missed the garbage can, no matter what’s on it
When will Planet Dolan return to doing top 10 factual content because I don’t mind reddit stories but wouldn’t it hurt to have occasional factual videos once in a week? And it seems that Dolan ran out of time finding the “truth”
When you work at a drive-through you'd be pretty surprised what kind of things can happen. I worked a late shift before. There was an incident where one of the drivers front car bumped into the bumper of the car in front of him. The guy in the front got out of the care demanding he come out and fight. We had to call the cops on the two and the guy to bump into him say he would pay for the damages.
Actually had a customer come in and have a full blown S___ fit when the pump didn't start automatically the second he picked up. I had to point out the burning car and fire trucks just past the other side of the pumps. Only yo have him point out that of course HIS car wasn't burning so we should have started the pump right away
The story of payments 5:39 , I felt that and got furious just hearing it since I had very similar experience. Now this is all in Canadian dollars so please laugh at my frustration. In my early 20's I also worked at a full serve gas station, a customer came by and purchased 50$ or so of gas and then proceeded to pay us in change only. Now imagine in the middle of a hot summer day, around noon-ish when your the most busy and being paid in small change; nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies(1$) and toonies(2$). I was suppose to count it before they left but I said f*ck that and counted it after the rush and thanked God that it was the right amount. Please people don't do this, get large bills, 10$ and up.
I feel the struggle, I'm a bagger(not doing cashier, I Flipping hate doing cashier, I was one at my last job, that's something for another time.) at Winn Dixie and some of the things I can relate too, especially wanting to say and tell stuff, I do it in my head, when I scream the in my head for getting 20+ carts, scattered, and or if it's raining or 30 go-backs, and related triggering stuff, I do "screaming marmot"and other meme screams, but mainly marmot it's relateable and funny too. Anyways yeah, I feel the struggle(s), but at least we get paid for what we do. Who else relates to these struggles and or have more that are job related?
I really like kitty's voice, I'd really like to hear more from her. Kitty sounds like a very nice person, I really hope she is happy, if she isn't I would gladly try to make her day in any way I can.
I work at a gas station on night shift by myself. And I have waaay worse customers. Last night there was a drunk guy laying on the ground outside when I showed up for work. Then a couple of guys tried helping him up and he fell and smacked his head into the RedBox and dented the front.
Oh Kitty I feel your pain dealing with dumbass costumers. At the casino I used to work before Corvid-19, first few years as their housekeeper trying to keep toilet cleans. Sometimes I walk in to find...let just say brown stuff smeared on the walls. I mean what they can't aim? Plus the floor is always wet with what I really hope was water. I have a mop and bucket at hand and a costumer asked me "Are you the janitor?" I tell him "No I'm fashion model I just do this for kicks!" After that I switched over to floor host and resturant you know help serve pop and water to costumers, do dishes, bust tables that sort of thing. Anyways working behind a counter for our Casino's resturant we had this special orange milkshake this costumer asked me "What does the orange milkshake tastes like?" I told her "Oh gee I don't know like ORANGE I guess!" I know I sounded like I'm being a smart ass but if you have to ask dumb questions you are going get smart ass answers.
I've worked in customer service and I can say if you tell a customer every rule protocol and policy but they will always have a question or they will break a rule.
