You can beable to look 4 ways. In front of you is the 2 entrances, one from the front door and one from the back door. There are also 3 isles full of chips, soda, all that junk food crap.

And under the front desk you can see boxes of lottery tickets and fireworks.

The Easter Egg!
If you type in the word on your keyboard, "Halliday", you will get a golden egg on your front desk. This get's you the achievement called "The Easter Egg".

Then the screen will get dark and Freddy will jumpscare you. But instead of killing you, the power will go back on and Freddy will runaway leaving behind a slice of cake with a candel that is shaped into a "4". Eating the cake will get 4 times the money you earn in the future. This is a reference to Five Nights at Freddy's and it's 4 year anniversary. Happy birthday FNaF! :)
Cutscene's
$10,000 high score
This cutscene is encountered when you get a high score of over $10,000.
Mark Madison (The player) faces Tom. Mark Madison is in shock and doesn't say anything.
Tom then starts speaking.
"Hey freind, you must be scared. But don't worry, i'm not mad at you. You reached the limit. You got all the money I need to bust me out of this joint and start a new buisness. However, your story isn't over yet. Now that I have the money, i'm going to start Tom's Pizzeria. And since you got the money I needed old sport, maybe you can work as a delevery guy for my new pizzeria. And if you don't apply, that's fine... but when you see a zombie, they won't spare you. So come back when my human slave calls you. Until nextime... old sport."
Tom leaves the gas station. After a while, Mark leaves the gas station and gets to his car and drives away.
The screen then goes to black. Then it shows Tom. This time in a red pizza guy outfit. He then jumpscares the player. After the jumpscare, it shows the words, "Deceased Delivery! Coming soon to a fanon wiki near you"
Note: This cutscene is what happens after the story mode ending cutscene. Endless mode isn't canon itself but the cutscene is.
Story Mode End!
The cutscene starts off with Mark completely paranoid and scared. He rushes out of the building to get to his car, but his way is blocked by a squad of zombies. The zombies slowly walk towards him. Mark, scared as hell, rushed to the other side to the side walk but more zombies are there. Mark completely surrounded ran back into the gas station. He then sees Tom.
The cutscene ends giving you your first Golden Brain
Minigame
There is 1 playable minigame in Graveyard Shift :The Ghastly Gas Station
If you ever get jumpscared by Tom, quickly type "TOM" in the keyboard and the game will crash.
Reloading the game will play a minigame.
You play as Tom except he is more human. And you must give 15 kids cupons in 60 seconds flat.
However, this game is as hard as the minigame from Sister Location as some kids are in spots hard to reach
If you were able to succeed in winning the game. Tom will slowly walk back to his home. When he walks in his home, you can see Brainzo, Mumma, Timmy, Molten Stanley and Captain Diarrhea except all human looking, and Molten Stanley is not molten anymore. Snickers can also be seen in the background in his zombie state.
The minigame ends when Tom's eyes get dark and does a big creepy smile. He then pulls out a glock.
The screen gets black and in the background are gun shots and bloody screaming. If you listen closely, you can hear a dark voice saying the letters, "K-I-L-L T-H-E-M". When there are no more screaming, the voice will say "S-U-I-C-I-D-E". A final gunshot is then heard.
After that the minigame ends giving you your second Golden Brain.
Endless Mode
Endless mode is the same as the story mode except.. well... it is endless. At least until you die. Endless mode runs on hours (Every hour is a minute and a half). Everytime an hour goes by, the money due by the end of the hour gets bigger, and all the zombies are faster. At least the faster the zombies are, the more money you get!
If you don't get the expected money by the end of an hour... you'll find out what happen's next if you read Tom's A.I
Getting a high score of over $10,000 will get you a golden brain (which are the stars of this game) and a minigame which will be explained in the minigames section.
Also if you get to hour 99, you can be able to get a new currency called Golden Bucks! Their 10 times more valuable then classic dollars.
The music that plays when you get jumpscared and get a new highscore on money! (minus the bell at the start)
Endless Mode is only accessed when you get 2 of the 3 Golden Brains!
