WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR RECEIPT
HAVE A NICE DAY

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU

*when the pump clicks*
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR RECEIPT
(hope it gets better)
HAVE A NICE DAY

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
YOU HAVE TO GO INSIDE TO PREPAY
*waiting for the pump to start*
YOU'LL BE ON PUMP #*pump number*
*when the pump clicks*
HAVE A NICE DAY
AND NO THE RECEIPT DOESN'T PRINT ON A PREPAY

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
(I have a child inside)
I CAN TAKE IT FOR YOU
*punching the same numbers on a board*
(I almost screwed up there)
*when the pump clicks*
HAVE A NICE DAY
(I hope they don't need their receipt)
*slip the money in my right pocket*

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
*repeat what they asked for*
(so would you like your windows cleaned?)
*when the pump clicks*
*have to stop cleaning the windows*
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR RECEIPT
HAVE A NICE DAY
*slip a tip in my left pocket, if any*

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
*remember what both people asked for*
*start both pumps simultaneously*
*when the first pump clicks*
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR RECEIPT
HAVE A NICE DAY
(when the last pump clicks*
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR RECEIPT
HAVE A NICE DAY

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
*they take too long to get started*
HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
YOU HAVE TO GO INSIDE TO PREPAY
*waiting for the pump to start*

YOU'LL BE ON PUMP #*pump number*
*return my focus to the other customer*
*when the first pump clicks*
IF PREPAY:
HAVE A NICE DAY
AND NO THE RECEIPT DOESN'T PRINT ON A PREPAY
IF THE OTHER CUSTOMER:
WOULD YOU LIKE A RECEIPT
HAVE A NICE DAY

HELLO
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
*repeat what they asked for*
('Discover It'? Well I discovered 'Disco')
*cover the Discover card with part of my hand, they laugh*
*whipe their windows anyway*
(nobody has done this for me, and you didn't have to do it)
(It's not that I had to, I wanted to)
*swoons*
(You should get paid more for the things you do)
(I don't know what to say)
(explain the issues with our pumps)
*the pump has clicked*
*I continue to talk anyway*
AND WOULD YOU LIKE A RECEIPT
*slip a tip in my pocket, if anyway*
*exclaim to them how they can leave a calling card*
HAVE A NICE DAY


a day in the life of a attendant.
a strange way for me to make a poem, almost kind of like an ode to "Provided" and with the same idea as "Routine", with more emphasis on the term "routine"
