Yes its true, I have worked my last night tonight for a long time at the gas station. The day time worker got accepted at an ISU (Iowa State University) graduate study program and will need to switch shifts or quit. For now hes working a couple nights a week and my other co worker is covering the entire weekend at night.
I'm not going to rant but I am sure glad to be done with the evenings. The section of Ames I work in is now become ghetto. Lots of innercity folk and druggies and drunks from a block away come to my store just to be stupid and hang out it seems. I don't mind this but theres a time and place to smoke your marijuana and being loud and obnoxious. Lots of people don't understand that our company set up a ID policy that requires the cashier to ask for ID no matter what age you are and is able to not sell you the alcohol or tobacco when a customer does not have his/her ID. I think it's a good policy but I get a lot of flak from the older generation who have too much pride than to show their drivers license.
To me I would consider being asked at my age I'm 29 almost 30, a compliment. I guess we all who work there will just deal with it. It's just going to be an ongoing thing 'till policy changes.
Working the day shift will help me in the long run and my boss doesn't need to reset my work schedule because of my class schedule which is also at night. Not working on saturday will help me a bunch because having class in the morning and then working till 11 pm just puts a strain on me to stay awake. This way I can just go to class then drive home and go back to bed if need to.
Its getting late and 630 AM comes sooner than you think! ;) So good night everybody!
