@@chloemartin9741 i usually fall asleep at around midnight to one in the morning, and i have an alarm for 9:15 every morning. i sleep through the night but i have a really hard time falling asleep if im not on the natural rhythm. sometimes i just pull all-nighters bc it feels more natural and occasionally i'll go back to sleep after my alarm and wake up at noon Edit: i should probably mention that i currently don't have a job due to moving and i'm in online college right now.

I once worked a graveyard shift and had a regular couple come in. They would always sit in the parking lot for hours and then come in. This was a big store but not like a truck stop big. They would spend about an hour walking the small aisles like it was a grocery store or a Walmart. Then would buy their things, walk back to their vehicle and sit there for hours. It happened like 4-5 times a week. It wouldn’t have bothered me but they would come in during my serious time where it’s dead and I wanted to get things done without worrying of customers.

[@ShabadoobieVT]

Former Assistant Manager here: Had a guy come in during the Covid pandemic using a full-on Guy Fawkes mask. Wouldn't speak anything, only wrote and pantomimed. He was a regular, so I knew WHO it was, he spoke A LOT, but I didn't know WHY he was going so hard. I was working a double, too, so my head was just out of it

[@kamieaston3016]

I worked at a truck stop between two small towns. Secluded area, I mean it was the only truck stop within a 40 mile radius. Had a few industrial businesses around us, but for the most part it was abandoned. It was 100% haunted. From hearing random footsteps, moans and even sudden loud bangs inside the store when it was just me alone. Going outside was worse. I'd always see fast moving objects dart off in the distance, atop the snow covered hills. My other coworkers that worked nightshifts absolutely refused to leave the store even to lay down ice melt. You always feel like you're being watched out there.

[@lloganveith5192]

Story 31. I worked at Kwik Stop, a convenience store in Nebraska. I work the night shift as well, 11 to 7 a.m. A guy walked in while I was making popcorn for the next morning shift and he also said " heyy girl". I am a male. I do have long blond hair and am not large in stature, so I do understand the mix-up. I just find it humorous.

[@Eepy_boba]

[@Craftymom1o19]

1 depends on the area. 2 depends on you. Bad area but you aren't fazed or don't tolerate shenanigans you will be fine. Good area but you have trouble with Karen's and you'll wish you worked in the hood. I work at a truck stop between both types of areas, I also don't tolerate non professional behavior, not from the customers or employees. The worst part of the job is honestly corporate.

[@thebishopofme]

I worked overnight shift for a Midwestern chain general store/gas station. Little town, big meth problem. We did made to order sandwiches and pizza in the kitchen as well as fresh doughnuts. Had two fellas of a particular ilk come in and bought (if I recall correctly) 7 12" sandwiches "with all the fixins" at least 4 large pepperoni pizzas, as well as 5 pepsi 30 packs, 3 dr pepper 24 packs, and like 10 family sized bags of chips. They also tried to buy a bunch of mini propane tanks we sold, but we were locked out by the system from selling them past 10pm and selling more than 1 per purchase. They paid me for the food and left. The cook said "they must be hungry" and I told him "Nah, they're carbo-loading, gonna be smoking some meth tonight". A few months later, I saw one of the fellas in the paper after his house got busted in a drug sting.

Story 35 - the bit about the mutant raccoons, hand plants and Spencer Middleton - it's a line from TALE FROM THE GAS STATION by Jack Townsend, it's available in print but also narrated right here on yt by Mr creepypasta - fun and hilarious and fabulously narrated

[@beverlymartin5053]

Working at a gas station in Texas in the early 90's. Several police officers was in my store when the dispatcher calls to talk to them. My friend talked to her. I overheard where, when, what way, and any weapons. Then they all left in a hurry. A little while later my friend came in to use the bathroom and asked me to watch for a Camero. He left after getting some paper bags. A little bit longer I see a Canary yellow Camero without tail lights. Call dispatch and told them. I then went about stocking the cooler. A customer came in and I went to check him out. There in front of me was the person they were looking for. He bought his cigarettes and went to leave. Got to the door and my friend came rolling into the drive.the man looked at the police, looked back at me a couple of times then ran to his car and went to leave. He pulled up to the road and acted like he was going to get out but took off. My friend followed. They lost him on the dirt roads.

[@geekunit177]

Where do I even begin? I worked at McD's from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Plenty of fights, both inside and outside, drug use in the bathroom, having to call the police because 2000 people couldn't form a line, and they were blocking the drive-through as well. Last but not least, they spilled my mop bucket running outside to catch a fight.

I had a friend that was on his way to a ren faire. He was already in full garb. Chainmail shirt, helmet, leather leggings, the whole 9 yards. He decided to stop at a convenience store to pick up some provisions. While he was checking out he felt someone tap him real hard on the shoulder. Like, an angry tap but just once. He turned around to see this skinny little 16 year old that looked like he had just seen a demon. My friend gave him a gruff "What?" and the kid bolted out of the store. While this was going on the store clerk started to freak out. My friend turned back obviously confused. Turns out the kid decided to test out my friend's chainmail and pulled out a pocket knife and STABBED HIM IN THE SHOULDER! The knife got caught in the steel rings and was yanked out of the kid's hands when my friend turned around. Fortunately he made his own chainmail and used real steel rings instead of cheap plastic rings that look good but are just for show.

On story ten I have a story kinda like that. When I was 12 almost 13 and very aware of things. Me and my older sister ( she was 14) and my dad happened to be his 50th birthday that info is unrelated. But we were taking the train home from a like vintage type place. We got on the train sat down next to each other and just chilled for a couple minutes until this guy was like how is your day going? We said good and my dad asked him the same thing he answered obviously good. Me and my sister at the moment didn’t realize he was drunk. But then he asked what station are getting off at? We were the end station. He then asked where you going after that? My dad answered our house. In general he was drunk and creepy, that was my first drunk encounter.

Oh Ive got so many of these to tell. Alright, the first one isnt too bad. When I was about 23 I was working 9pm-5am at a Holiday in MN. One night around 11pm a group of extremely drunk young women come in, stumbling about and giggling like nobody else was there. Eventually they all get it together long enough for me start ringing them up, and one by one they trickle back out to the sober cab. Except the last one. At this point it was just me and her in the store, and she starts aggressively hitting on me, telling me how theyre out celebrating her 18th birthday, how much fun it would be if i joined them, and how I "could really make *her* night special" She was very attractive, so I wasnt offended or anything, but Im at work ya know? I polite decline by repeatedly telling her im sorry but I cant leave work. Eventually after about 15 min I get a little less gentle and tell her shes too young for me (not neccesarily true, i just didnt know what else to say) . She gets mad, cries, and starts ranting about how shes an adult and yadda yadda and shes tired of being treated like a kid. She storms off to the bathroom. This is where it gets super weird. One of her friends eventually comes inside and finds her passed out on the toilet and drags her out. I have to mention, both of them came in with no purse, wearing skin tight leggings and crop tops so small they were basically sports bras. Trust me, its important. I have to go clean said bathroom later that night, and now that theres no customers in the store I take my chance to do so. Nobody else has used the womens room since the girls left. I go in, and start cleaning, and when I open the second stall door, there was a Budweiser Tallboy half empty on the back of the toilet. We didnt sell liquor, and as i mentioned neither of the women had a purse. To this day I have absolutely no idea where she pulled that beer out of. It gets better though. This all happened at around 11-11:30pm. Around 5am, guess who stumbles back in looking like death itself? Yep. Birthday girl. I immediatly laugh and start talking to her, and she is clearly confused, not remembering the night before at all. I explain what happened, she turns bright red and runs out of the store without even buying whatever it was she came for. I hated that job. Its been years and sometimes I think I shouldve just agreed and left with her. Atleast I know she knows how to have a good time. 😂😂

7/11 are the worst to be honest here is a story: I worked for a 7/11 and 3rd shift to be frank it wasn’t bad until a lady with shades came in. I knew from the look that this was about to be an issue I told my coworker to call the cops b4 she came in and as soon as she got to the counter she asked I want Newport shorts and 400$ open the register. I told her well if your going to rob me the cops are on the way you better move fast cause the cops are 4 minutes away from here good luck😂 This was a bluff The fool took the bluff and just left and told me I was lucky and after that I quit my life is not worth living if I stayed at that 7/11.

[@cameronpottle5409]

So... if the story is to be believed, the guy in story three was probably *_fired_* after that little demonstration because generally gas station policy is if someone robs the place, to just give them the money. The gas stations insurance will likely cover the losses, that's the point of it after all. But the risk of you getting hurt by the robbers by retaliating against their demands would cause even greater losses to the gas station over all. So again, assuming this guy isn't bullshitting (which he probably is) he went and did this hugely "heroic" thing by risking his life to save the gas station a couple hundred dollars and to ultimately put himself out of a job... crikey

I don't get the arbitrariness with cashiers demanding ID in the US. The reason you have to do it is to make sure only adults can buy cigarettes and alcohol, right? So why tf do you demand ID from people obviously old enough? As far as I know it's not the law, at least not in every state, just store policy in some places. But it's only bad if you don't ID someone and they happen to be underage, but if they are old enough there's seriously no need for that, it's not illegal to sell adults these things. I just don't get it. It's idiotic. Do you fear the fifty year old looking guy is gonna turn out as a 16 year old or what? Where I live they only need to check on people who have a youthful look and might be too young, but if you look like thirty why even bother? It's obvious you are allowed to buy it. Only assholes would refute the sale.

I’ve worked front end at a Kroger Grocery store in a small town in Colorado for 2 years and I’ve seen some odd stuff. 1. The was this Hispanic family that had a ton of kids. I don’t know how the parents didn’t notice this earlier, but the cart was about 30% groceries and 70% toys from our only aisle even resembling a toy aisle. The order came out to more than $1000, and the parents seemed confused, despite it being obvious why, and it seemed like the kids were in trouble. Luckily, they went out quickly, so I didn’t have to see the aftermath. 2. I once had to escort an obviously drunk/intoxicated woman out to her car once. 3. I also had to escort a lady that was being harassed by some aholes that may or may not have been in a gang, I wasn’t sure. 4. Someone purposely rammed into one of our cart lanes, and it took them 5-6 months to fix it. I wasn’t there during it, but as a front end worker who primarily dealt in bringing carts back from the lot to the store for customers, I sure as hell felt the consequences. 4. Not particularly at night, but this is one of my best work stories. Early on in my shift, while I was getting carts out in the parking lot, I saw some kids playing in and around a minivan. Odd, I thought, but I figured the parents were around, so I thought nothing of it. Then, a couple hours down, there’s a fight happening in the parking lot. A lady was screaming at a man because he nearly hit one of the kids. It turned out, these kids were unsupervised, and as everyone knows, it’s a horrible idea to leave kids unsupervised in the parking lot of a busy grocery store. Regardless, she was screaming at this poor man, and even calling him The N-word (he was a black man). It got so bad that the police had to be called and arrest the lady. I hope those kids are okay though.

As a Russian former night shift clerk, I can confirm I was in a pretty laid back and nice job. However, we sometimes got the odd customer who definitely got kicked in the balls and is fairly pissed off. Unfortunately one such person came up to me, punched me, and took off with 2 stolen bottles of vodka. I had a black eye which is nothing too serious but another customer came towards me and yelled at me. He said: WHERE IS STARBUCKS?? I told him they abandoned us and I swear to fucking god steam was coming out of that dudes ears. I was terrified but thankfully he left.

I once had an old man walk in and get a coffee. He sat there for about 30 minutes and we talked. It seemed entirely normal until he had mentioned something about the farms behind the gas station and that he lived on one. He was telling me abt how this new gas station was such a help to them. I was confused because there weren’t any farms and it was a neighborhood behind the gas station now and there wasn’t any fields anywhere nearby. I kept my mouth shut and gave him a chuckle because I just thought he was a senile old man at 3am drinking a coffee. He walked out of the store and I noticed the coffee was still sitting on the counter a few seconds later. I went to go let him know and I was only maybe a few seconds behind him after he left. When I walked out, I didn’t see him or any cars. I went back inside confused and saw the coffee on the counter. So I thought I wasn’t going crazy. I went to check the cameras and no one was in there. I was talking to no one and the coffee was already on the counter. I couldn’t find when or how it got there. But I still haven’t figured out if I was just seeing things or not. I later on ended up looking up the area and what it used to look like in the last. The creepiest part is that there were actually farms surrounding the gas station when it was first put up. I was pretty confused the rest of the shift. For anyone curious, yea I worked there for a little over a year and regularly did 8-16hr shifts all overnight or afternoon to overnight. Have too many stories to tell but I was indeed robbed at gun point. On another occasion I had 5 police officers walk in unannounced with ARs in hand. They looked around and quickly left. Still never got an explanation for that one.

[@turbopokey]

That one talking about mutant raccoons, burning hand plants in the backyard, and Spencer effing Middleton, is actually a series on KZbin it’s pretty good. I cannot remember what the MC’s name is but it’s titled something along the lines of “ tales from the gas station“. Just make sure you start with the first one or it can get kind of confusing there’s Eldritch gods, death cults, killer bugs that come out every 20 years sort of like cicadas and it just happens to coincide with the time the MC is working at the station. It’s kind of like a darker Douglas Adams story. Oh yeah I think there might be might’ve been odd zombies tooBut I don’t remember that one exactly it could’ve involved the death cult.

[@EvilPaladin11]

It's simply called "Tales from the gas station". The characters is sometimes referred to as "gas station Jack" in the comments of the readings.

[@Timewalkerauthor1]

Yup. Started on a blog (and I guess he still maintains it), then they started getting narrations on KZbin by Mr. Creepypasta, and now there are books. The books are the same content as the blog, but with edits and revisions, so not identical. Tales from the Gas Station is the correct title.

WAY too many stories after working graveyards for 8 years, but one of my favorites was the drunk guy that was trying to back out of one of our huge driveways, but was headed toward the fire hydrant. He came back in to buy transmission fluid because "there was something wrong with his transmission". Yeah, he walked out just as the cops arrived. (And I found a kitten too....his name was Spook!)

It's been a month since this was uploaded and I doubt you will see this, but, 19:15 story #35 is called "Tales from the Gas Station" by Jack Townsend. It's a great series of stories and if you want to take a peak at them the KZbinr MrCreepyPasta narrated quite a good number of them, however there is also like 2 books that you can pick up if you're interested in a good read. That first part, it's just small taste of the oddness that is that story and it's all good.

I worked nights for about a year and a half at a convenience store in Portland Oregon in 2009-10. I was 18 and would be alone and bored out of my mind most night, so I was always happy to have some excitement. One evening a couple older guys with long gray hair come in and buy smokes, some snacks, and chocolate milk. The shorter man looked real tired, maybe a little drunk, took his snacks and headed back outside. The taller man adjusted his wide brim hat and let me know he and his friend would be resting in their car as they were on a long trip and wanted to make sure that was okay with me. I sized the guy up, he had some kind of robes on and hair was in brades -- this is Portland, seems legit. I told him the street was public property and I didn't have a problem with it so he headed back out, tipping his hat and saying he may need to come back for some more chocolate milk. A while later on, I headed outside for a smoke and he came ambling out of his car and we chatted for a while as he sipped on his carton of milk. He told me about how he'd recently returned from India after 10 years of living nomadically and seeking spiritual enlightenment, living in various temples and working there to earn his say and becoming a monk of sorts. I headed back inside and noticed him outside later, pacing around the front of the store playing a guitar. Again, as I was often alone all night, having a whacky dude hanging out making his presence known outside the store was cool with me. When I came out next time I realized he had brought a rug, couch cushion, some candles and incense and set himself up a whole little bohemian squat pad out front. I got a kick out of it and we chatted whenever I came out to smoke the rest of the night. He proceeded to smoke joints, play guitar, and told me more stories. The one that sticks out was about psychically connecting with a mural of an indigenous woman South of Portland while high on LSD, how they were soulmates separated by time, and how much he regretted not being able to save her from living in a mental asylum in her later years. He also nearly had me convinced to give up my earthly possessions to go to India by the end of the night. He napped on the mats he set up outside (probably a lot cozier than the car) and had everything all cleaned up before my boss arrived in the morning, even helping clean up some stuff around the parking, took off and I never saw him again. Think about the guy all the time and wonder what he got up to since. Also, years later I did see that mural. It's the Opal Whiteley Mural in Cottage Grove, Oregon. It is beautiful and her story is both beautiful and tragic, I could see it being very moving while having an LSD trip.

It wasn’t at a gas station but a pizzeria instead It was back in 1993 There were 4 animatronics All of a sudden I went to check on them at 2:00 AM and the bunny and chicken were gone The chicken was near the bathrooms and the bunny was RIGHT AT MY DOOR I closed it quickly Yeah I had to stay there for 4 more nights after that

[@TheSimpleMan454]

Not a gas station but a small grocery store. We were running backstock when five random people casually stroll in (this is late, not quite closing time, but not "people showing up" timeframe.). All are dressed in black denim, couple cowboy hats between 'em, heavy boots, tattoos, etc. Four guys and a redheaded woman. They fan out, walking up and down the aisles before meeting back up in front of checkout. The woman says "Well, he's not here." And they start to leave. The oldest dude sees me looking and (in a heavy Russian accent at that) says "Enjoy your evening now, okay?" Before lighting up a cigarette on the way out. Part of me is really curious, part of me really doesn't wanna know.

My best story so far is from the gas station I worked at (I work at a truck stop now) had a guy come in about an hour before closing. Few things: I worked closing alone. I made my trainer smile day one because she said to the boss "oh good you hired someone that won't be intimidated by me." I was in my mid 30's 5' 7" and MAYBE 100 lbs soaking wet. I'm a disabled veteran. And lastly, at the time I was in therapy and seeing a psychiatrist for PTSD at the VA. So, dude comes in quietly while I'm in the back cleaning the tea urns. I shut the tap off and hear a food step in the store. Whatever, sometimes I just can't hear the door chime. I step out and no joke there is a black clown standing infront of the counter. This neither shocked nor scared me as I had expected far worse but it never happened while I was there. I put on a big smile, apologize for not hearing him come in and ask what I can get for him like it was 3pm and he was dressed like a "normal" person. He replied "I just need to get some smokes and gas" he said like he was shocked that I wasn't bothered by his getup. I got him his smokes turned the pump on and chated with him so he felt more at ease. I know others in this area would have freaked and possibly have called the cops on him, but I was a female veteran AND I nearly failed kindergarten because I refused to believe all of October including Halloween was apart of my birthday. He was welcome to stop in after his wrestling gigs any time. Then his hype man came in and I couldn't keep my composure 😂 I ended up getting a picture of the two and wished them a safe and pleasant evening. Sent the pic to a friend who works as a medic for the league, and my sister. Friend tells me the guys stage name and we have a shared moment of enjoying wonderful customers like him. My sister on the other hand calls and yells at me for sending her a picture of a clown. 🤣 The strange and yet satisfing thing from this when I saw my psychiatrist a few days later. Jerk has called me hysterical for having a normal reaction to being asked what my traumatic event was and scoffs that I couldn't keep it together better (I JUST started therapy two weeks prior and I had no meds yet) so this appointment he starts with "so how was work this weekend?" I open my phone, pull up the picture and say "sooo, this walked in" I hand him the phone and watch him panic. I look fine but I want him to show his true colors before I explain that nothing happened and he really needed to deal with his terrible judge of character. Still very much panicking he rushes through my appointment and gives me a mood balancer for reasons (?). A day later I see my therapist. She too asks how my weekend went and I show show her the picture. We both laugh and enjoy the absurdity of the situation. To end her session I tell her a joke "Jesus is afraid of clowns..." she spat out her coffee and asked me to repeat myself "Jesus... Is afraid of CLOWNS!" she then lowered her face and tried to hide a huge grin. She was on the verge of busting out laughing in front of a patient because she realized I wasn't talking about the Holy son... No I was talking about her colleague and that would be a very unprofessional thing to do. I had a few more tit for tat moments with my psychiatrist before Covid lockdowns but he never won after that week. I like to think I'll never be in his office again since I work at a truck stop now but who knows. I'm only 6 miles away from his office, maybe after a terrible customer I'll stop by with another story and picture 😂 Don't mess with cashiers.

Worked grave at 7/11 for half a year. Met all kinds. Always knew who was gonna steal booze, who was just waiting at the slot machines and popping their heads up to look out the window for their dealers, even found a dead drop under the back lid of the toilet. Taped a note to the underside saying no more dead drops. All in all I was pretty lucky since I lived in the apartments behind this Vegas 7/11 so most of my customers were also neighbors. Still, fair share of nut bag assholes. BUT the weirdest; this guy just hung out for the remaining 6 hours of my shift and talked about planets, the sun and gravity etc etc... And also gave me some heroin. That is all I will say.

12:26 I have a similar story lol This happened at the elementary school I went to. The bathrooms were located right next to the wall that surrounded the school. One day we came to school and ALL of the toilets from the girls bathroom were gone. I know that it was reported to the authorities because my mom (who was with the parents comitee) told me, but nothing was done as far as I know.
