Enjoy the show. To give the context of where the story is based, I live in a small-ish college town near a small to medium-sized city.

The town itself doesn't have a lot of people and is mostly here to cater to the demand that comes from the college.

Because of this, the stores around the college are mostly open 24-7 so that the college kids will be able to impulse by whatever they like.

The other big seller here is Gas. Of course, Gas can be bought in the city,

but being a town that is often gone through in order to get to the city, a lot of places

will try to keep the price of gas slightly lower than any of the stations in the city.

My story begins when I was working overnight as a gas station attendant at the gas station liquor store when I was doing my part-time classes in college, but mostly doing classes online, so they wouldn't ruin my availability for a full-time job.

The store I worked at had only one person working on overnights for a long time.

Even though a lot of people, especially girls, would complain about the lack of cameras and the fact that you don't always get the best of people going into a liquor store or a gas station in the middle of the night.

The owner's hand was forced on one night before I started

working there that a woman who came in to buy some milk went out to her car only

for a man to come up behind her and shove a gun to her back, demanding for money.

She complied and luckily he let her go.

She ran into the store sobbing hysterically,

and though the police arrived shortly after, he was never found.

I personally preferred having two people on, even though there wasn't much of a safety issue.

The night seemed to go by so much quicker when there was someone else.

And it was really nice that I got along really well with the person that I normally closed with.

Overall, there were four overnight shift workers, Josh, Nick, Dixie, and myself.

Dixie had another job and really was only working there as a favor to one of the managers, so she would only work two nights a week with either Josh or I.
