I’m a chill easy-going boss, but I expect the work to get done on-time and within acceptable standards. So long as all your works done and there’s no current customers to take care of, you can play video games, watch tv, or whatever. However, the moment a customer comes in or needs assistance, I expect my employees to immediately focus back towards their duties.
Yeah, that's what I'd expect. Nobody can stand stock still for eight hours, and it makes no sense when all of your tasks are done and there's no customers. I like your attitude, makes for happy employees and a better environment.
@@scarlett9750 yeh thats a long time edit: that comment was made 3 years ago and the video was 4 years ago, so its actually just been one year lol, weird comment
I really liked going tonight to work with you. It was totally fun hanging out with you. A true reality show. I pictured the station and was excited about seeing it for real.You are a super interesting person!!!
This is an awesome job to try out for a while when you're young. I did this for about 2 years before I quit because I couldn't handle the inverted sleep schedule. I was working part-time along with school and eventually a second day job in between switching degrees. I'm 24 now so I can't go back and work a job like this for obvious reasons, but I do miss the calm nights and the relative freedom you had like walking around the station or taking free coffee and snacks (but don't tell anyone lol).
Your job is similar to a security guard front desk concierge of condos during the overnight shift. I've been doing concierge part-time for over 10 years while working in banking in the capital markets. Most chilled job in the world. Hardest part is trying to stay awake, since you really want to nap.
@@HarryOliverx lol i don't remember, I think it's because of his rollercoaster life. Like he got married really fast to some Japanese lady and then they divorced not long after, so he had to leave the country etc. Not sure where he is now
i mean i dont know how it is wherever this dude lives but in the US, at least at where i work, my boss dont give a flying fuck. I hit my dab carts in the store all the time, even with customers there since 90% of them dont care and even if they did, who they gonna tell? My boss doesnt care either lol
@@Chunkiezzsomeone said the same thing here but I work at a shell gas station they apparently have a no phone and no earbud policy. They also record your voice and you. I wish I could at least listen to music. Would help me a lot
I think with every video of yours, i notice more interesting qualities of your character. I prefer peace and alone time myself, and where I work it's sort of how it was at the station. Got to love being able to think.
Nights are so frustrating especially at the gas station! I have felt that! Government sucks! They need to return all of our money in the tax. Low wages- high stress. Dealing with weird customers. Doctors and nurses job night shift is a way different than night shifts in gas station and store. Man
my mom worked in an icecream shop, after a few weeks they fired her for giving away icecream to friends and eating it herself, so after working she actualy had to pay the employer instead of getting paid herself. then she worked at a restaurant where shed go to the basement and drink up and taste all the wines they had there, not to mention shed take food from the plate into her pocket before serving the customer, like a chicken wing or something that was plenty on the plate. They never found out.
Shit, I always work in the nightshift too except I get to play game all night because I work in data center with computer. There is no boss nor customers here.
My jobs take like 45 minutes to 1 and a half hours. All I have to do is clean the bathroom and the counter by the coffee machine and sometimes the shelves, I have to look at the coolers and if they are empty (they never were yet) I have to restock them and I have to slide all of the boxes of alcohol forwards, then I have to count the cigarettes and write down the amounts of each row, then I have to go in the bathroom and fix the toilet if it is broken and won’t flush, it takes like 15 seconds to fix it, then at 12:00 I have to sign out of the terminal and also I have to safe drop all of the money in the register and leave $100, then I have to sign back in at 12:05, so from 12:00 to 12:05 no one can buy anything besides gas, then at 6AM my coworker gets here and I have to safe drop again and then shift change, then I go in the back and take 4 garbage bags and go outside and change the garbage bags if they are like half filled or more, then I have to change the 4 small inside garbage bags which are never filled. That’s literally all I have to do, I also have to remember to stop selling alcohol after midnight. The gas station I work at is so much smaller than yours, it’s tiny, like as small as a gas station can be. Should I do a tour of mine?
were there any shop's rules against surfing the web or reading the book when the shop's empty? you could even do some kind of freelance job at the time.
2:02 That 'stupid yellow machine' is a paypoint machine from the dark ages! Lol! I remember those from YEARS ago! We got an upgrade to a paypoint machine that was actually easy to use, lol.
I don't know. I've worked day shifts in a gas station that had a kitchen. Everything was disorganized and when I was put on kitchen, I'd be the only one taking care of ALL the food AND dishes and cleaning. It was terrible to the point I had panic/anxiety attacks, which caused me to quit. Cashier is nice. Stocking gives me anxiety when there's no organization standard to anything. If all you do at night is some stocking and cleaning as tasks while cashiering, I don't think it would be that bad. I wouldn't take it for granted. But I understand some people need the busy work to keep them focused and give themselves something to do. But I'm at the point in my life that any of that busy work that causes anxiety/panic attacks could lead to heart attacks. And the job I worked at didn't care how sick you were, they would work you to death and give you nothing for it. So I'd rather avoid that. I'm a workaholic and put in way too much effort, and then I just get taken advantage of. I have NO IDEA how other people can get away with being lazy or messy and not doing their job or cleaning up after themselves and being able to leave when their shift is supposed to be over. It may be because I'd just come in and clean up after people, but I don't think I had a choice either. So I'm currently looking for a night shift job that isn't micromanaged. My heart can't take it.
Cool man. Good to see the tour of this store. I worked in a resort a whole year during night shift, and then I worked in a diner during nine months on the night shift...
I think you're asking yourself the wrong question, Daniel. You want to quit so that you can devote more time to things that you're passionate about. It's not about how easy or exciting the JOB is. It's a petrol station!! End of story.
wow didn't know there are spar stores in the united kingdom, we have them here in south Africa, where they're the only supermarkets that open for 24hrs. ours do not serve as gas stations though
I had stood in one spot as part of a job I had a few years back. Very uncomfortable and somehow damaging. I now happen to move around a lot and walk in the career I'm in now and I find I mostly feel better after a week of working versus a week of standing. (Or sitting for that matter)
Don’t buy fuel from BP stations, google parking fines at wythenshaw, Manchester petrol stations. I’ve worked at BP head offices as a contractor & was treated like SHITE, a fourth class citizen, by our great British Petroleum!!! I’ve not bought fuel from them for the past ten years, I urge you to think about this company!!!!!
I was a house keeper in Surrey night shift is .....sometimes great sometimes the worst.strangely interesting video.i like real life stuff ha ha I'm kind of nervous.
I’m not sure if your being serious or not there’s nothing wrong with working in a petrol station as I work in one but definitely aim for higher than that....
@@heey_im_mike not everyone needs to aim higher if he wants to work in a petrol station ,its still a job. When i finish my construction course I wan’t to do a SIA course so I can get my cctv licence so I can become a cctv operator that’s what I want to do but have a good day.

I have a kitchen porter job that isn’t the best job, can be tiring. However at least I’m not bored doing nothing at the job. The petrol station job must’ve sucked.
+Japanese with Hanako 優しい言葉ありがとうございます^^最近、やりたい仕事は何だかわかって、それに集中する為に今の仕事を辞めたいと思ってます。結局今の仕事はやりたい仕事と全然関係無いのでガススタンドで時間を無駄にしてると思うようになりました。その指導者みたいな人は見つかった気がします^^
you complain about doing pointless tasks...but that was your fault. if you had gone to university or had more motivation, you could be working a salaried art or translation job and not living with your parents at 27. you seem averse at the first sign of adversity or criticism which will not bode well if you want to be an artist or cartoonist. the art world's competitive. you have to roll with the punches.
Motivation won't solve any of your problems, it might even create more. What you're looking for is self discipline. Motivation doesn't stick. You want to do something right then, and not long after (maybe a few weeks, months if you're really lucky) it's gone... Find something you want to do and slowly work your way there regardless of motivation, that's what you should strive for.
its true i lack self discipline but the reason why im working in a petrol station is because i didnt have any motivation to do anything else or go to university.
you need to have something that's at stake, something you have to lose. the only reason you've been able to float around unemployed is because your parents were bankrolling you. if you didn't have that safety net, you'd be much more motivated to go to uni, get a real job, make money.
untitled I understand your point but what's the worst thing about not having a professional job? Like Hiding in my room i don't have a professional job and am not doing a job i like however outside of work i am learning a few things i want to learn. Although i could have a better job, i cant say having a professional job, more responsibilities is better in every way, it looks better in societies eyes but then to me in some ways it seems i would have less time to learn new stuff i find challenging.
Hiding in my petrol station....
lol
I’m a chill easy-going boss, but I expect the work to get done on-time and within acceptable standards.

Id like you as my boss
I would go toilet when your busy.
This was how my store was very laid back no issues everybody got along expect when people were late and calling off
Yeah, that's what I'd expect. Nobody can stand stock still for eight hours, and it makes no sense when all of your tasks are done and there's no customers. I like your attitude, makes for happy employees and a better environment.

How the hell do you have a lunch break and go toilet if your the only one on shift.
wtf what kind of place is that, it's like a graveyard. you need to get out ASAP
you complain about doing pointless tasks...but that was your fault. if you had gone to university or had more motivation, you could be working a salaried art or translation job and not living with your parents at 27. you seem averse at the first sign of adversity or criticism which will not bode well if you want to be an artist or cartoonist. the art world's competitive. you have to roll with the punches.
+untitled how do i get more motivation? I'd love more of that. More motivation would solve all my problems
Motivation won't solve any of your problems, it might even create more. What you're looking for is self discipline. Motivation doesn't stick. You want to do something right then, and not long after (maybe a few weeks, months if you're really lucky) it's gone...
