confessions of a...

gas station attendant.

"Hello. How are you tonight?"
"Good. He's pumping gas outside in the grey car."
"Both cars outside are grey. You're in the one that's farther away from the store?"
"Yeah. I don't know the pump number."
"Okay. Pump 8."
"No. Pump 7. Grey car."
"Yep. That's pump 8 and he's still pumping."
"Right. No. Pump 7. "
"Pump 8 is actually on the back side of pump 7."
"Right he's on pump 7."
.....
"Okay. $30.00 on Pump 8."
"No. He's on pump 7."
"Sure. You're right."

(I'm in bold. Obviously.)


I need to know...
why
are
people
so
freaking
dumb
???

Also, we are working on making the Corner Store green. Next up: cleaning supplies.
Floor cleaner: vinegar + water.
Glass cleaner: vinegar + water + lemon.
All purpose cleaner: TBD.

We've already conquered:
lighting, garbage tossing, efficient recycling, limiting water use, promoting local businesses by selling products made locally, making really good cookies.
