jeez, you guys are mean! at my job, I'm not allowed to accept tips, but when I'm offered, I take them.. ha ha. but seriously, I feel I have earned them. especially when it's a rainy day, and I have to help this person in a wheel chair out to their car, and they parked at the extremely far end of the lot, and I keep a smile on the whole time, I always wish them a good day, etc. etc. and I'm making $7.50/hour... whereas the checkers who just stand in one spot, they never have to go outside, they actually have to deal with customers even less then I do, all they do is beep the items across the scanner thing for me to bag, then take the money and give back change... that's all they do... and make $19/hour!!!! it just doesn't seem fair that they make way more for doing an easier job. I would be a checker but you have to be 18 to do it... grrr..

btw, dude, you can't pump you're own gas? it's not that hard. what I do is pull up, look what pump number I'm at, walk in give them $20 and say "can I get get $20 on pump ##" then you go out, select whether you want unleaded, premium, or super, then pull the thing off, and stick it in the tank.. it'll stop filling when it gets to $20... no going one cent over (in fact, in my civic, filling the tank usually only ends up being like $17 or $18) then you go in, get your receipt and any change that may be due. and leave.. simple!
