I work in a small gas station in Germany on the weekend, additional to my full-time job. There are only two main employees and me and one other weekend guy who's barely there. Minimum wage here is 12€/h and we get paid that. Most of the time, the work is done by only 1 person. Watch out for gas thieves because my boss is too cheap for cameras, clean up spills, refill coolers, make food to sell. We also have trailers that we rent out and take packages for Hermes, a shipping company. It really is a lot to handle, especially in the Summer.
We haven't been able to find new workers for a while and my boss went on the usual 'nobody want to work anymore' and 'the youth nowadays are just so lazy' rants all the time. One weekend, no one was able to work and he had to do full shifts by himself for the first time in six years for both Saturday and Sunday.
When I came in on Saturday, he was complaining about how much work it is to handle everything and how the customers are so terrible (all we have told him for years). He basically decided on the spot to pay us 14€ instead of 12€ from now on.
Still can't get over how suddenly he got it. Hasn't complained about work ethics again yet and let me take some drinks for free. More bosses need to see how much the work is.
