AMANDA!

The other day an African American gentleman came in, his name was Mr. Q. He walks up to me and he is rapping something. I listen closer and I can tell it is the song Amanda by Boston! Now I have had truckers sing this song to me plenty of times. But this was amazing! He turned a love ballad into a rap! I LOVED IT. Uncle Fonzie toe... you definitely have some catching up to do!

Today, around 11 pm, almost time to go home! A woman, around 45 to 50 yrs old is my guess comes into start a pump on the truck side. I get all her info in, she still hasn't handed me a form of payment. I say "ma'am how are we paying tonight?" She says, cash. NOW the policy with cash is we can take their cash, but not matter what we need their ID lately we have had a lot of drive offs, so we have enforced this rule strictly. She looks at me says, I do not appreciate you calling me a thief. I was astonished, I stood there thinking did I say that? I knew I was tired but really I would never say that!! So reassured her that it was corporate policy that we hold onto everyone ID, and that I was not claiming that she was a thief. Now she is yelling at me! Over and over again saying she wasn't a thief. I just said OK. I had already told her that I wouldn't start it without ID. So now Brawk is down with me, making sure she doesn't try killing me. And we stand there, and wait for her to hand over her ID. She looks at me and says well aren't you going to start it? I said no Ma'am not till i have your ID. She flipped me off and said "I'm not a fucking thief, have a great night!" I waved back and said you too!
