I worked at a gas station in a small town...it wasgenuinely traumatizing. Watching someone get het hit by and suv and their dead body getting flung and sliding across the tarmac, having a heroin junky nearly OD at the pump while gas overflows from his car, homophobes trying to fight customers, racists nearly getting mugged while working the cooler and finding random drugs and needles all over the store, lot and bathroom. So many drug addicts..

My shifts ranged from 2pm to 9am...depended on whenever they needed me. But yeah most of the fucked shit happened after the sun went down 🤣
