- A older gentleman once came in and handed me a five dollar bill, he said " this is for the washroom". To which I replied "Oh sir the washroom doesn't cost anything to use". His response was "Just take it, my wife couldn't hold it." Conveniently the new guy had just arrived for his shift...
- A young girl once came in and asked to have her oil checked. I went out checked her oil, and topped it off as it was getting a bit low. I told her how much it was going to be, much to her surprise it was only $5. She anticipated it being quite a bit higher. When I brought her the change, she mentioned that she usually got a sticker to put on her windshield telling her the next time she needed oil was. You could imagine her devastation when I informed her that she needed an 'oil CHANGE' not just oil.
- After a few times of people saying, "Oh i forgot my wallet at home, I'll be right back", you learn that you can't trust everybody. One time a middle aged man popped in filled up and low and behold forgot his wallet. I kindly explained to this man that unless he could get someone to bring his wallet in that I need to hang onto something of value. He said "Oh that's fair I've got just the thing." He came back in with his six year old child, and before I had the chance to say anything he shouted "be right back!", and left. So here was this six year old, well behaved boy, just sitting on the chair waiting for his father to return. Luckily his dad came back and I supplied him with unlimited hot chocolate in order to avoid a future lawsuit.
This is just a taste of some of the bizarre tales that have occurred at the old fueling station. Never a dull moment. I hope you enjoyed!
