Gas Station
After searching to find a job during winter break, in my home town, i finally landed a job working at a local gas station. I figured will is not the worst thing in the entire world and I'll satisfy the need for quick cash at college. I can now say that working a register is CONFUSING!! Not until do i have to put gas on the pumps and ring people out, but there are two hard parts to the job...
1.) Lottery...
The machine is behind the counter and trying to listen to a little old lady list off number Mid/Eve or Backup/box/Straight/etc. number of draws, number of tickets, number of plays and there's 8 different kind of tickets. It's awful!
2.) Cigarettes...
THERE IS A MILLION DIFFERENT KINDS!!!
Marlboro, Marlboro light, ultra light, menthol, menthol light, southern cut, red label, blacks, blacks menthol, smooths, 27's, 72's, 83's, skyline,.... and that's only one brand. Oh and not mentioning regular or 100's of the different types of the brand.
For someone who doesn't smoke it can be very aggravating and confusing to say the least. But, at least its some cash to spend. With all the work, it's really not that bad of a job, especially since minimum wage just increased to $7.85.
