People like this normally are poor because they don't understand how to act around other people.

The same people that park in front of store entrances and wait, the same people who dump their carts in the parking lot.

When they are on home turf (neighborhood gas station) its 10x worse.

I’ve seen one around BR before. I think it was a racetrac, but cannot remember which one.

Racetrack on Burbank has one. That’s a good store. Usually 2 lines so I can avoid the holdups. This was Circke K on Staring/Highland.

It helps some but the poors some time don’t understand how to use them.

I stopped at a gas station around 6am and 4 poors were throwing their money at the clerk faster than he could catch it. They would then just scratch the bottom where the bar code is found and have him check it real fast before calling out more numbers and throwing more cash.

They did have a self service kiosk but 2 poors had already claimed territory over the machine.

The 3 separate transactions thing is likely because a couple of their podnahs gave them money to pick something up for them while they were at the store.

You really can pick out the grape cigar and 4 different lotto ticket customers with amazing accuracy.

We don't have much of that. But there is a non gas station convenience store that is 24/7, and at night is filled with freaks. The fresh donuts come out at 2a, the night people swarm.

What’s worse is they all use the gas pumps for parking spots so you pull up to get gas and they’re all taken but no one is pumping gas.

fricking this. Drives me crazy.

Pulls up to the pump, walks inside and gives the cashier $3 for gas. Then proceeds to buy 5 different lottery tickets. Then a cigar to make into a blunt. Then some fire Cheetos and a grape soda. Then tries to flirt with the black girl cashier. All the while his car is blocking a pump for 1 gallon of gas.

#1 can often lead to #3. Or vice versa.

Pump your gas, pull forward to a parking spot if you have to go in. It's not that difficult to get out of other peoples way.
The problem is, the people who take forever at the pumps don’t have credik cards, so they park at the pump and then have to walk inside and give the cashier a couple dollars to turn on the pump. Then they buy numerous lotto tickets and etc.

and that's why they're poor. it has less to do with how much you make, more to do with stupid shite you buy.
