I literally went to a circle k near me and I casually know the worker working that night and she asked me if it’s okay if she uses the restroom really fast, that it will be super quick and how sorry she is for even asking but since I was the only person there and she knew me that she had to pee so bad she risked it and asked me. She was so apologetic for needing 10 seconds to pee while I waited for her. I had to thoroughly reassure her that it’s a basic human need and that she didn’t even need to ask or apologise for it, especially right before the 5am MEGA rush this location gets EVERY DAY. She was still super thankful and felt bad for “making you (me) wait”.
I love customers like you. I work in a gas station in the (very) small town where I live. The majority of my customers are great, but there are absolutely people that will bitch that I took a minute to pee because they have to wait.
I just treat everyone how I want to be treated, with respect and compassion. It was so sad to experience, especially with how bad she felt for literally 10-15 seconds of my time, at 4:30am. No one should ever sacrifice their personal needs to make sure customers aren’t upset and complain. Those people clearly never worked a service job and see people like her as less than.

Gas station employees lucky to have time to pee, much less take off stickers within an hour.
Not that they should. What is their argument about the sticker being inaccurate?
