Minimum Wage, Minimum Effort, Part 4
It’s 3:00 am at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere near the England and Scotland border. A customer has come in to buy some cigarettes but doesn’t have ID, so I refuse the sale.
Customer: “Seriously? I’m obviously in my sixties!”
Me: “I need to follow the rules of the job.”
Customer: “You need to do as you’re told, or I’ll have your job!”
Me: “You aren’t even qualified to be a customer.”
Customer: “That’s it. You just lost your job!”
Me: “Mate, I am working the graveyard shift at a petrol station. Please… try to get me fired.”
Customer: “This isn’t how you talk to customers!”
Me: “I’ve refused your sale; you’re not a customer.”
He swore at me and stormed out. Why do they always think that threat will work?
