Regular Occurences

Nothing really stood out as the night turned out to be a really slow one. I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a few interesting things that happen almost every time I work.

At least once a night a random customer will...
...Pay for cigarettes in only change
...Buy something inexpensive with a $50
...Park incorrectly in our parking spots that are parallel to the store
...Ask me how to get to Canada
...Tell me they don't have a Speedy Card when I can see it
...Come in talking on their cell phone from the point they enter the store to the point they leave it
...Come into the store to only use the bathroom
I don't have a problem with any of these, rather I find it amusing that without fail each of these happen on a nightly basis.

At least once a week...
...A customer will come in looking to buy beer (we don't sell any)
...A customer will come in absolutely drunk/wasted/high
...A customer is lost trying to get to Grand Rapids
...The Krispy Kreme guy will ask me in crass language if any customers have been well endowed females
...A customer will ask me if I'm scared of being robbed
...A car will pull into our parking lot, drive its entire circumference, and leave
Obviously these are situations that are a little more awkward, but I do my best to appropriately deal with them however I can.

These are just a few of the fun things I am now used to dealing with on a regular basis. Many of them can turn into a post worthy visit easily.

If I have another slow night where no one notable comes in I shall most likely talk about some of the "regular" customers I have grown fond of.

Next shift is Tuesday night.
