Yes. There will be a dead period (10-15mins) and then 6 people show up at the exact same time. It makes no sense, but it happened multiple times per day.

If its dead. I was supposed to be allowed to do homework, but really never could, because there was at most a 5 minute window before someone walked up. Thats a large portion of the reason I quit when I did. Also I realized that I really really hate dealing with stupid people on a regular basis.

Wait, is there something that can be (could have been) done about mild scoliosis? It doesn't really cause any problems for me other than my shoulders sitting at slightly different heights. I know several people who had rods inserted to fix theirs, but that was for severe problems.

I worked the same job and have some fun stories as well. I have had numerous people try to give me pamphlets or bumper stickers, etc. for their religious groups. It all sounds like bullshit to me (atheist) so I just nod so that they go away.

I had one woman go ape shit because I wouldn't take a check from her. For one, we didn't accept checks. Second, it wasn't even a real check. It was a sample that she was trying to pass off as real. She went inside and talked to the manager and everything.

There was one guy that kept trying to get me to buy his bike that was falling apart and the tires had been patched 10+ times, for like $15 so that he could get his kids back from child services. Like wtf?!

People are quite interesting, but I just couldn't take dealing with so many stupid people to keep working there.

Most of the time, yes. I, however, worked in one that did not have a bathroom, so I had to walk inside the store across the parking lot. There was apparently some bullshit city coding that said that they didn't need a bathroom out there if there was one in the front of the store. They didn't want to have to run water lines out to the gas station... so they didn't. It was annoying because I was supposed to ask for a break, but I eventually got fed up with people being slow so I just put up a sign and hoped nothing went wrong while I was gone.
