There is a security guard at this gas station I frequent. He is a double amputee.

His arms are cut off at the elbow. I am amazed at what he can do. I do wonder about how he does certain tasks, but it really is inspiring.

I do worry about what would happen if the place got robbed or something, but I know he wouldn't have been hired if he couldn't react properly.

I would love to ask him about how he has taught himself to do all of the things he is capable of doing, but I don't want to seem nosy or offend him.

1. You have a security guard at your gas station?

[Shell Beau]

2. Only at the ones downtown. I assume he works there.

I have seen him there a couple of times. Maybe he just stops in every morning like me. :shrug:

3. The idea of security guards at gas stations is alien to me

I travel though some of the highest crime cities in the nation, like Newark NJ and I don't see guards. Then again in NJ we don't pump our own gas, so maybe that's why it's different

4. I could be wrong. I can't say that I recall seeing guards anywhere

else. But it didn't seem weird to me either. :shrug: The capital is right down the street. But who knows? He could just hang out there in the mornings.
