A life swimming in petrol and coffee.



Today I spent some time over at my new place of work – the Sainsbury’s petrol station. Whilst I will sometimes be working over at the main store, from next Saturday most of my duties will be over at the filling station. I welcome this change as it is nice to get a change of scene.

The petrol station also has a nice atmosphere which is quite different from the main store. Being a small place, it is possible to get to know the staff quite well, which is simply not possible in the less personalised environment of the main store.

An additional advantage to the petrol station is that one may discretely consume a coffee whilst serving the customers. I have lately taken to the habit of a cup of coffee at the checkouts instead of water which is not endorsed by the checkouts. But at the petrol station however, there is no such discouragement and one may consume soft drinks to one heart (or stomach’s) content.

Consequently, I am looking forward to the move. I will let you know what interesting situations develop as and when they occur.
