Is a cover letter required?

I'm just trying to get a job at fast food/retail/gas station. Is it required? I've been handing resumes today to gas stations and they don't seem to really care. But they were employees, not managers. I also hate writing cover letters, I just can't seem to word them properly. I feel like my resume says enough, and my determination by going to the places and handing my resumes. I also don't wanna end up writing a new cover letter for every place I apply to.

no, for those types of jobs just have decent availability and don't mess up interview and you should be good

Unless technical knowledge is required (C++, AutoCAD, Fusion Cells), just make sure your availability is on your resume. Well, that's what a previous employment wanted to know.

Any occupation that enlists high school students is highly unlikely to require a cover letter.
