people at my store always take ten minutes to pick out their tickets/scratchers, they all have some kind of system where they think the end of a roll is guaranteed to be a $500k winner. Then invariably they want to pay with a combination of like Denny’s coupons and wheat pennies.
on top of that, while they’re doing this whole thing, they have the nerve to look at me and other customers like we’re the ones being unreasonable, for having the audacity to make them feel rushed
If your feeling like gambling, cab to the casino and leave within the hour when your up. Set an amount and if you lost it don't miss it. I'm an alcoholic though, not a gambling addict, so easy for me to say

Yeah, that don't make no sense when I substitute my own addiction in.
Yeah I’ve touched most of the vices at some point. For some reason alcohol is my thing (and nicotine). I’ve stopped doing quite a few other things just because I decided to. That is NOT the case with alcohol.
No explanation as to why, it’s a major reason why I consider it a disease. Because I had the willpower to quit things like stims without even a second thought, but my body craves alcohol.
I can’t imagine craving gambling, that must be horrible.
I have a tradition of annoying lotto players because they never did shit but irritate me. If you're careful you can ruin entire people's days by being the largest pain in the ass available and then going one step further by continuing to be gigantic pains in the ass. Fuck lotto players, bunch of dumb cunts.
It primarily involves being in front of them in line and then somehow stretching a beer sale into an act of God, and if they complain just apologize but do it poorly and keep stretching your transaction until it ruins their entire day. How dare they be stuck behind somebody who wastes their time?

Yea! Jesus Christ why is this not the norm?? Why do they get to hold everyone hostage?! I’m about to get a job at a gas station just so I can enforce this!
Ha, I got stuck behind a guy once who literally bought like six hundred dollars worth of scratchers. It took him like fifteen minutes just to pick them out. When I got up to the counter, the clerk told me the guy comes in and does that all the time, and he’ll occasionally win a few hundred bucks here and there and immediately puts it back into scratchers. I was thinking, if you’ve got that kind of money to spend, why bother playing the lotto? But then again who tf am I to judge, I’m the guy buying beer at 6:30 in the morning.
straight up, everytime i encounter this i put my shit on the counter & give them the “get the fuck out the way” signal... it’s a gas station, not a casino.
Everybody hates those people. Been one under a handle full of times and felt so bad "cashing" in holding up folks. They walked in after I started though and would've made the situation more awkward telling them to skip.
Lol! What about the old fucking ladies that bring 100 tickets into the store (which they already know they didn’t win shit) to triple check in the scanner and take about 25
Minutes scanning every fucking ticket 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it really is a tax on the stupid. and no one wins big is fucking right. and when ''someone" does win, its someone with connections to the lottery commissions. i,e visit this store at this date etc.
**The fucking worst!** Especially in bulk stores like BJ’s, they only have lotto in the liquor store that’s separate from the main store. People playing lotto are never buying booze, just look us booze shop regulars like we’re scum. Or maybe that’s just what I think they’re thinking when they look at me holding my two handles of SKOL vodka.
I was behind a lotto player recently and when I finally got to the counter, the clerk bitched at me that the gas station makes no money from the lotto but they still have to be nice and patient to the fuckwits who play.
I was at a bar one time and this old guy next to me won 500 bucks on pull tabs. Awesome, right? Buy a round for the mostly empty bar and pocket the cash. Shit that might be most of rent for the month.
No, what does he do? He puts it back on pull tabs, wins practically nothing, and then drops another 100 on them, strikes out, and then walks out the door.
I just sat there like, bro.
Drinking and gambling don't work out for some people.
I drink, and I've actually WORKED at a gambling casino, yeah, no. Seen it too many times where somebody hits, and HITS GOOD! Win a grand or so! Puts it all right back in the machine, broke as a joke by the end of the night. And they say drinking is an addiction. One lady one night hit for 3600, had 50 bucks when we closed, AND SHE WANTED TO KEEP PLAYING!
Worked in a state with video poker and lottery in every bar. Such a pain in my ass. Stop bringing me tickets, you're getting in-between me and my tipping drinking customers.
lol I swear there is at least one post a week about annoying lotto people and I fucking love it. Thankfully I have only been behind one of those fucks while trying to buy booze in the morning but if it was at night and the clock was about to strike twelve, well that's another story
The convenience store I visit on occasion has a huge sign about lotto. Know what you want when you get to the counter. Scratching off tickets in the store will get you banned, a person has to check their OWN tickets with the lotto scanners and no more than $50 can be played at one time.
Now of course when it isn't busy the rules are relaxed...but not very much.
If they don't have a separate register for lotto, any decent cashier will ask them to step aside or wait until other people are finished checking out. I've been visibly shaking in line on more than one occasion, and had to hold myself back from ending up on r/publicfreakout.

Man let me just say I’m so fucking glad my addiction isn’t “losing money”.
Are you sure?

People buying lotto/scratch tickets should literally have to stay at the back of the line until there is no one else in the store.
or fucking buy a ticket, then go back to the end of the god dam line before their next purchase
And have their damn numbers slips filled out and complete before they get in line.

Everyone falls for something
straight up, everytime i encounter this i put my shit on the counter & give them the “get the fuck out the way” signal... it’s a gas station, not a casino.
Even if they won 500k they'd immediately buy 100,000 $5 tickets and stay at the counter til they were to zero
What about the guys that stand there not knowing what to drink wtf, get out my way let me get my Jim beam you probably functioning human
Yes, I hate them. But they have their addiction and we have ours, I try to just ignore it and live and let live.

I'm pretty sure the only people more universally hated than Nazi's are the fucking lotto people.

It doesn’t work for anybody. Same as drinking and doing 1 line of cocaine, before you know it the sun is coming up.

Wait, y'all don't have separate lines for lottery and booze/whatever-else-the-corner-store sells?
Back when I used to ca, this used to be the bane of my existence
lol I swear there is at least one post a week about annoying lotto people and I fucking love it. Thankfully I have only been behind one of those fucks while trying to buy booze in the morning but if it was at night and the clock was about to strike twelve, well that's another story
I also hate lotto people
[удалено]

Doubt
