My first job ever was working as a clerk (insert Kevin Smith reference), but I’m curious about the folks who actually run the places. Especially like the little guys, not fat cats like CVS.
How was it and what are their big sellers? I remember when I worked it seemed like half the clientele were kids getting soda and the other half adults getting smokes. I guess it adds up.

I worked at a couple different gas stations while in college. I enjoyed it, especially the first one, which was a Dunkin Donuts where three of my friends also worked. It was like a less caustic Clerks situation. It was great, and if I could I would totally own and run one with those friends again.

My uncle owned one and he hired me to keep track of the inventory. Beef jerky and Red Bull was always the biggest sellers.

There’s two stoner f***s selling weed outside. They’re in their mid 40’s and it’s just kinda sad now. At least one doesn’t talk much.

Coworker used to be a manager at QuikTrip. Said it was a good job but the hours were garbage.

Worked for 8 months as graveyard shift clerk at one in Port Arthur TX. From 10 pm until 11:59pm our biggest seller's was beer and cigs. After midnight it became beer,cigars and rolling papers.
Got a friend,who's family runs a corner store in the supposed ghetto of the town I live. Been told their big sellers are cigs,beer,cigars,rolling papers and candy. It is also the only place in town that keeps Surge in the tall cans in stock.
