Rudeness!!!!!!!

I was at the gas station tonight getting gas before i headed to work and the gas pump never turned on. So i go inside to tell the cashier and she said " Ok, how much gas are you getting?" i told her about 20 dollars worth. and said "OK." so i went to leave and she said "Excuse me, are you going to pay or get gas somewhere else."i didn't see the sign that was on the other side of the pump that i was on that said "Pay before you Pump." me being in uniform i didn't want to get to confrontational with the lady so i told her i would pay, get gas, and then not be back. What she doesn't know is that i'm friends with the manager of that gas station, he happens to be in the local mustang club in town, and i will be talkin with him about it. it was just plain rudeness. There was no reason for her to be that way with me. I was polite wtih her and only wanted the same in return. Really all i wanted was to fill up my mustang.

oh well, i guess there are poeple out there that don't realize the power of kindness.

just thought i'd share.

She should've just reminded you that you need to pre-pay. I guess she got annoyed?

PICTURE THIS

Stan was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that tracked his speed on a radar gun and photographed his stang. A week later he received in the mail a photo of his car and a ticket for $100. Instead of paying, Stan sent the police a photograph of $100. Days later he got a letter from the police containing another picture............

Pay at the pump = next best thing since sliced bread.

Note: Don't expect kindness from someone stuck in a convience store making minimum wage.

What kind of uniform? Security, Police, Military? Depending on what type you wear it may have been politically motivated hatred etc... In that case you just smile knowingly while looking them straight in the eye and thank them for their kindness. Don't forget to wish them a good evening, creeps them out for sure!

if she's not happy with her job, then dont take it out on me. get a job that makes her happy. i was always taught to make the best of everything you do no matter what it is. even if its a crummy job, hell, i've had them. i'm sure just about everyone has. but thats no excuse to be that way towards someone else.....

Agreed. However, alot of people don't have that capability and it's just easier for them to take it out on someone else than take responsibilty for their own actions.
