"graveyard cashier"
When someone works as "graveyard cashier" in a Shell tank station, what does this person do? How is that different from other cashier jobs?--31.4.137.179 (talk) 02:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * A graveyard cashier is a cashier that works the graveyard shift—i.e., overnight. Typically, there will be day shift, swing shift, and graveyard shift, but that will vary by workplace. Less colorfully, they may be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift. - Nunh-huh 02:42, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

What's a "tank station"? Is that another name for what I call a gas station? --69.159.60.147 (talk) 21:00, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a non-English term, as with File:BP Tankstation.jpg in the Netherlands. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:36, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
