Well I'm doing my best to try and avoid it. Maybe questions about customers or even others sharing their convenience store stories would help steer it away from complaints.

When I work more through the week and can update with the rest of the gamblers it'll be far more customer centric. I get some really loving wild people. This Sunday was incredibly calm.

Thanks for asking. My 2015 was much better than my 2014 - I moved out of the halfway house in June with about 2.5 years sober, had a great summer associate position at a large law firm where I made a ton of money, and will be finally graduating law school in about 6 weeks.

But how's about you?

I don't know either of you goons' stories but seeing the retarded slap fight here is great. OP do you ever get drunk and/or high on shift?

If Helldump were around I'm guessing they'd be trying to doxxx him, show this thread to his managers, and then he wouldn't have his lovely loving job to whine around about anymore at least.

Look out for the high horse calvary. Those of which have never snapped a picture of someone in public.

I have only ever snuck a picture of a stranger in public on a single occasion.
It was a spectacularly obese woman ahead of me in the queue at Jack in the Box. She spent the better part of twenty minutes arguing with the staff over whether or not they served a fried turkey sandwich at that establishment.
Whilst the chaos unfolded before me, I snapped a few pictures of the magnificent beast in question to show to my friend.

I felt really bad about it and deleted them later. :(
Basically, taking pictures of strangers without their knowledge is a bit creepy.

Yeah I never understood it. My manager often gives us little things to motivate us. Like gift cards and lottery tickets she paid for out of pocket.

I always turn down the lottery tickets while every one else fights for them. One day some one asked why I never take the tickets I told them I don't believe in gambling.

They thought it was for religious purpose so I had to correct then saying no it's just a waste of money

Because I am working 60 hours a week, going to school full time and maintaining an A average, have a girlfriend, and am currently apartment hunting. I have very little free time to job hunt. I hardly eat or sleep. I know it's not technically the best excuse but I generally try and sleep if I have free time. After I find a new apartment I'll be putting more effort into a job hunt. I agree, I do need a new job.

Basically think what most lottery is like. Kinda like powerball. Except there's a TV screen in the store and they draw the numbers every 5 minutes or so. I think it is region specific. The only acceptable place to play is Wrights Chicken Farm in RI. Playing Keno anywhere else makes you a schlub.

I do not. I show up to every shift sober and 15 minutes early. I don't steal from the store either. Today I wore my jacket over my work shirt because I can't change the thermostat in the building :ssh:. The temperature is all controlled by some third party way out in loving Texas or something. They still have it set to the air conditioning being on and live in fantasy land. I'm kind of hoping today just isn't one of the days that they watch the cameras (as they often do) so I don't get written up for wearing my jacket.

I'll usually lock the door and put up a sign of I need to poo poo. I'll then enjoy it it as long as I can until I hear literal smashing on the door.

take that loving sweet skull next time you're in there

also start stealing everything you can get away with. stock up on energy drinks and poo poo since you're in school and probably want some for those late nights.

Since your a wage slave they won;t expect you to start sabotaging the surveillance equipment, and by that I mean take control of it.

Get me the model of the recorder thingy for your cameras (GE? a computer with a dongle?), if we are going to watch old people lets do it right. I'd put a 50/50 shot that the surveillance system has stock/installer passwords installed. If not I'll donate a 4 channel encoder with splitters to split off the existing system(Like 50$ in crap I have in a box, please take it.). You can record te register cameras without the management knowing.

Windows 98, just as the OS, is a trustworthy forums poster and would deliver.

I want to watch horrible sad people.
