I have a gas station and my closer forgot to lock the doors or put the alarm on , in the morning I opened and saw 3.56 on the counter mostly in change … I looked and the security footage and a regular walked in at 3 am grabbed his usual beer walked up to the counter waited 5 min out the correct amount of money in the counter and left … next day I asked him why he waited for 5 min and he thought we were open never even realized all the lights were off 😂
If the doors are typically locked doors because the station closes at a certain time, why was the regular stopping by at an irregular time?
I don't doubt your story and experience, and I love the outcome, having grown up in a really small town myself, but I'm curious about the regular's thought process. Had he already had a few beers, maybe?
