Amazing place to work. a typical day at Handee-Hugos ... Come to work meet new faces daily see "regulars" regularly always something  new and exciting happening at this store if it wasn't people cutting up with you, It was getting to help people.. or just simply putting a smile on someones Face.. making their day just by doing your job It's an amazing feeling. I learned that no matter how bad my day is going I could always go to work an instantly it would get better. My co-workers were the best, an incredibly good at what they do because we all helped each other to make sure we all understood and maintain our daily routines. The managers are Fantastic, they are so well train and organized. They made it so easy to learn costumer service and basic accounting.. The hardest part of the job was clocking out to go home. Honestly I loved working there! I never wanted to go home. The most enjoyable part of the job.. My costumers I love helping people. 

Sampson Bladen Oil Company never ceases to amaze as the most incompetently run company I have come across in my entire adult life. Management of any sort is not existent in the entire organization.

Rather what they have a ‘cash-register’ supervisors masquerading as district managers; whose hold on their direct-reporting workers, they designate as ‘Managers’ are based on the amount of threats they issue to them, to keep them in check.

Amazing? Yes I am amazed at how most USA companies continue to be hugely profitable with the absence of quality managers or management. Is it that the average US consumer is a mirror-image of the pervasive incompetence that is the hallmark of the entire nation?

I loved working at this job but management was too lax in some areas and strikingly strict in others. The Manager and the Assistant manager were very different and had different ways of going about their jobs. It was like being pulled back and forth between a lax Store Manager and a Strict Assistant Manager every other day. The job was very taxing in that regard.
The Assistant manager did like to act as though he was the Manager which got a little frustrating at times.

Overall I would work for the company and even that specific store again. It was pleasant and everyone was a big family.

I am the customer service representative. A typical day consists of me taking cash/credit card payments for merchandise that customers purchase such as gas, food and drinks. I have learned how to open and close the store and have trained new employees who are assigned to my shift. The hardest part of the job is dealing with irate customers. Although most of the time I am able to accommodate most--there are still a few who request to speak with management. In those cases, 99% of the time management rules in my favor. The most enjoyable part of the job are the regular customers who come in politely and help me forget the irate customers of the day.

A typical day, depending on the shift, usually started at break neck pace and slowed after a few hours. It was time to move towards shift duties of cleaning and restock or front and face product. I had different experiences with management. Some shared my work ethic and made sure their store and employees were taken care of, while others decided their position was to complete the paperwork for the day and then leave. At the mid level management, my experiences were as to be expected except that promises made were not kept. Advancement opportunities were offered and then rescinded for no reason other than "I changed my mind, train this new hire to take the position I originally offered you."

A manager will work 60 to 70 hours a week and get paid for 40. sense COVID hit. Upper management does not care, cause they are making lots of money. They don't have to pay anybody to keep there stores open, because the managers are running registers for no extra money. I enjoyed my job for 20+ years, but the last 3 years have been bad. You have to cover any shift that someone calls out on. There is nothing hard about this job, just the hours you have to put in. You don't have enough help so you can not take your vacation you earned and 1 week can be transferred to the next year, but you loose the rest. I have seen managers loos 4 to 5  weeks vacation, because they can not take it

So I worked at a little Caesar’s owned by Sampson bladen and I just wanna start out with, I did not get paid fairly for the amount of work I was doing. My manager treated me unfairly from my other coworkers and I spoke out about this to her and she just ignored me. I said something to the person above her and was ignored too. I do not recommend working for Sampson bladen

You will meet different people from all walks of life. Gained knowledge of convience store work. I had a strict, understanding, fun employer. My coworkers were fun to work with, helped pass the time having someone to work with. The hardest thing for me to do was to getting things done when the store was full of customers and I was working alone. The most enjoyable things I licked was working with my coworkers on a daily basis and meeting new people.
