Sorry for all the posts about the funny stuff that happens at my new job. If you want these posts to stop, please say so in the comments. There will be a new home for posts of this nature soon.

Again, if you work in a retail environment, resturant, or any customer service setting, please send me an email: naresh@ragsites.com. I’m looking for 3-5 more people.

The Highlights

• Two lovely ladies that I’ve been flirting with to a certain degree came in. We talked for a few minutes and they left. A few minutes later they returned and gave me a Mountain Dew & Southern Comfort mixed drink. Tasty!
• A guy came running in with his very drunk girlfriend. She threw up on our floor and spent nearly an hour in the restroom. I’m going to start following the “no restroom after 8PM” rule.
• A drunk guy with a mullet sat on our front sidewalk for about an hour. A rabbit came out from behind the building, and he ran after it for a while. Wish I had a camera.
• This one is from yesterday, but I forgot to post it: The lottery machine, which processes scratch tickets and regular lottery tickets had a blue screen of death! I wish I had a camera with me
• There were countless drunk people. Independence day is great for that, I suppose…

We get some strange people at my work during the night. Here’s some of the highlights from last night.

Before the highlights, I need some people for something new I’m doing. If you have a job in any retail setting (restaurant, gas station, department store, etc) please send an email to naresh@ragsites.com with some information about where you work. I’d love to get in touch!

The Highlights:

• A stripper came in from the strip club next door. She had just been fired from her job and was waiting for a ride. Every customer that came in hit on her and said “Hey baby, do you need a ride?”. Poor girl.
• Someone came in and purchased a few boxes of ziplock bags. He said “to put trees in, you know?”. Wow…that’s not something that most people advertise.
• I was making small talk and told a customer “I don’t know how I’m going to stay awake tonight”. His response was, “I have a few ideas, if you have some cash”. Damn, we get a lot of druggies :s

See you guys tomorrow. I’m showering and heading to work until 6AM

I was going to write an interesting post…with stats and stuff like that. Honestly though, I’m too tired to care about this damn post. I’ll write one when I wake up tonight. Or not…

I’m awake enough to finish this post. My first full shift was last night at my new job. Here’s some of the highlights:

• 3 cars pulled up at 3AM. A group of people came in and one proudly proclaimed that he had been “rolling” all night. Not something you should advertise…Especially when there’s other customers in the store. (For drug virgins: someone who has been “rolling” is high on ecstasy.
• When the strip club next door closed, a group of 5 extremely unattractive strippers came in. Each bought a carton of cigarettes and a 40 of Miller
• The guy who was training me went out in his car for 3 or 4 hour nap. I can’t blame him though, he was working a 16 hour shift and has another one tonight.
• I did the cigarette count at 5:30. I was surprised to see that we have over 1,000 packs of Marlboro on the wall. There were about 600 packs of camel, and less of the smaller brands.
• That’s all I can think of at the moment…

I’m pretty sure my hashbrowns are burning. I’m going to go eat and sleep a little more before my 9PM-6AM shift.

After being unemployed for nearly a month, I finally got a new job. I’m working night shifts at a gas station about a block away from my house. Here’s a picture of my new job from Google Street View:

I worked yesterday afternoon and now understand how to use the register, and have started memorizing prices of the unmarked items (drinks, chips, cigarettes, etc). I also stocked the soda cooler yesterday.

Anyway, it’s time for me to go to bed. It’s only 7:30 AM, but I have to work from 9PM to 6AM tonight. I’ll see you around!
