FB post from my brother in law

[Larry Kart]

who manages a Kum & Go store (it’s like 7/11, but bigger) in Springfield, Mo.:

I'm always amused by some of the reasons people give on their applications for why they are no longer at their last job. One today ranked right up there with the best. She listed her reason for leaving McDonalds:

"Conflict of fries."

My wife is from Springfield. The first time she mentioned Kum & Go, I thought she was joking. In Texas, we had 7-11, UtoteM, and somewhat later, Stop & Go. Kum & Go would've been an endless source of amusement for legions of 14-year-olds.

Not to mention the people who work there.

In my other favorite story from my brother in law, a fairly young woman comes in, her new Hummer parked outside, and pays for $10 of gas and a  bunch of junk food with a dumped out batch of coins, then hands over a credit card for some lottery tickets "because I sure do need to hit a winner." How, one wonders, was she able to buy the Hummer?

There are some other good ones too, but because they mostly concern extreme lack of customer hygiene, I won't repeat them here.

I occasionally buy lottery tickets as gifts, and as one who charges almost everything to enjoy rewards points, I came learn that here in New York state they are a cash only purchase.
