After hours
continued from page 5
But there are benefits to the late
hours as well, he added.
“I always have my days off,” he
said. “So if I have to sacrifice sleep
to do what I want, then I do.”
Across town, on most evenings
Josh Ford can be found surround
ed by whips, chains and Playboy
bunnies.
He is a sales associate for Castle
Superstore, a 24-hour adult enter
tainment megastore. And while
the hours can be unusual — Ford
sometimes works from 6 p.m. until
2 or 3 a.m. — he said it’s still the
best job he’s ever had.
“The discount, free rentals ...,”
he said. “What more do you
want?”
Another perk to the job, he said,
is the people he meets at work, es
pecially the large groups who
come in late at night and are out
having a good time.
“I like the people at night be
cause they’re my kind of people —
partiers,” he said.
People often come in at night
■r-"sir
wanting to chat, he said. And fre
quently they ask what the weirdest
thing a customer has ever asked
him is.
But that is one question Ford
does not answer. Among pornogra
phy store clerks and their patrons,
there is an unspoken rule similar
to doctor-patient confidentiality,
he said. Out of respect for his cus
tomers, he never reveals personal
information.
“You don’t want people airing
your dirty laundry,” he said.
He will say, however, that
among the store’s most frequently
sold items are the magazines Play
boy and Playgirl.
And, he added, “Everybody
likes Astroglide,” a sexual lubri
cant.
Someone else who knows about
losing sleep for work is Paul Bus
trin, who works as a doorman at
two bars — Doc’s Pad and the new
ly opened Club Olympus.
Bustrin, who also produces a lo
cal band, said he appreciates the
opportunity to network and meet
people while he is at work.
“It’s kind of fun,” he said. “You

get to see a different side of Eu
gene.”
Well over 6 feet tall, Bustrin has
an imposing presence, but, he said,
he is often able to stop fights with
out force by getting to know his
customers and talking them down
when tempers flare.
“A lot of dealing with drunk
people is prevention,” he said.
And when he’s not working, he’s
not likely to be found out on the
town.
“If you spend three or five nights
a week in a bar, the last place you
want to be is in a bar,” he said. “It’s
kind of like hanging out with your
grandma seven days a week.”
Once the bars close, there’s a
pretty good chance some club-go
ers will see Nick Ryan on their
way home.
In the two weeks he’s worked at
the 13th and Alder 7-Eleven, he’s
seen many people come in for a
late-night snack— especially when
they’ve been out drinking, he said.
“A lot of drunk people come in
to get their munchies before they
crash,” he said.
People also come in late at night
to buy alcohol, and that can be a
problem if they are drunk because
by law stores can’t sell alcohol to
someone who is visibly intoxicat
ed. And sometimes, he said, peo
ple can be violent when he refuses
to sell to them.
“There’s tackles thrown, a few
punches,” he said. “We have to
regulate.”
Ryan, who will be a junior at the
University next year, said the best
part of his job is getting to talk to
people who come in while he’s at
work, most of whom are college
students as well.
But he said he’d rather not work
the graveyard shift.
“The worst part of the job is that
I miss the chance to party with my
friends,” he said. “But usually
when I get off work, my friends are
still partying, so it’s not a total
loss.”
And based on his experience in
the store, Ryan has a few words of
advice for future 7-Eleven patrons.
“Strawberry-banana Slurpees
are the best,” he said.
