I had one gas station that had the dirty mags and videos in plain sight (right beside the Christmas Tree.) The manager told me they make more money from that than gas, anyway. That was when we had to fill out that duplicate form and leave one behind.

There was one shop that was run by an old guy smoking a cigarette and a couple day's beard growth. It didn't have the dirty magazines, just videos.
When I took the photo of the DVDs, the employee questioned me.
"Why are you taking the photo?" he asked.
"I am asked to take a photo of anything considered sexual in nature," I replied somewhat redfaced.
The DVDs were explicit in their cover photos, showing men and women doing things to other men and women in various positions. I'm not a prude, but some looked like they hurt. Yikes! The titles were even more explicit.
"But they are not magazines. We do not have those!" he explained emphatically, arms waving, picking up one of the DVDs. "See!".
"Oh, okay," I said.
I left quickly.
The guy was a creep
I used to buy the Nature Valley oatmeal bars. they were between $0.89 to $0.99 each. Then, the as stations got greedy. They're now at $1.29 each! So, I moved on to the 2 for $1.00 peanuts (not Planters).@jay225 wrote:
today was the first time a cashier refused to honor the 2 packs of planters peanuts for $1.09(my go to) despite it saying 2/$1.09 on the package lol. i almost never run into a rude cashier, but this girl just sank the location's rating.
The only thing I've ever seen them do between the in-store purchase where they figure out who I am cuz I asked for a receipt for a bottle of water and the time I come back in is either put on a random nametag or go try to clean the bathroom- neither of which makes any difference because it's too late.@Sobrokeigot2dothis wrote:
I have bought the 50 cent peanuts hundreds of times myself. LOL. I already figured it was a dead give away that I am the mystery shopper and after reading this I am even more convinced.

Arizona beverages are my go to $1.00 items. It may be a regional thing. I don't worry about blowing my cover, or more likely, being recognized from previous visits. I do only reveal visits and present the LOA shortly after making an inside purchase.

I used to manage a convenience store. At least several times a day, our customers would ask for a receipt for a newspaper, pack of gum, candy bar purchase and other little things. It is not abnormal behavior to ask for a receipt.
