i have worked at a couple gas stations many years ago. and i remember instances that occurred such as being told to work the morning rush after working 3rd shift and having to stay over 2 or 3 hours then have to drive home about a half hour and being worried that i was going to fall asleep at the wheel… that was when i told them i quit. the other gas station i worked at i didnt get anything out of it as far as being content and feeling something for helping people, it just felt like torture to me having to stand in one spot all day or evening and i got burnt out on that real quick plus the coworkers i didnt care for. most people who work minimum wage in that kind of environment people are kinda low and shady. not all but most i have worked with. and ive only had 1 job that wasnt minimum wage.
Yes, the gas station was a part-time side job. I was working just 1-2 midnight shifts per week.
The extra money was helpful, but I just can’t do it anymore.
