So, several years ago I worked in a service station situated on a busy highway between two cities. For context I'm in New Zealand. It was a job I absolutely loved, most days. The locals were great, mostly. My co-workers were hilarious. I have sooo many stories, a lot of them quite funny. Here is a funny one.
In the early years we were a depot for a local courier. There was a huge shed out the back of the shop that the couriers used for storage. It had mice, we had food so very occasionally we also had mice. There were plans in place to "re-home" the mice but it hadn't happened yet.
I got to work in the morning and the boss called me out the back to look at the security tape. It was like a comedy skit. The evening shift girl was behind the counter serving a customer. She's a teeny little thing, only just 5ft and maybe 50kgs soaking wet. She takes the money, till opens and out jumps a mouse. She screams and leaps straight up onto the counter. It was a great jump, for her size that's Olympic selection right there. The customer was laughing so hard he was doubled over. She was quite famous for weeks, lol.
We looked inside the till and still can't figure out how the hell it got in there in the first place.
