So approximately 1:15pm today, I was getting gas at the Raceway off garth road, right next to the mall. After filling up the truck, I go to leave but the engine doesn’t start because somehow the battery died. So I call my dad in which he replies he’ll be there to jump it in about 20 minutes. As I go inside the gas station, the«owner» asks«what’s going on with your truck?!» Me: «oh the battery just died all of a sudden, but my dad’s on his way, he’s just down the street» Owner: «Well you have to move it now, its bad for business!!»(Several things immediately cross my mind.) 1. I just gave his business $ 54.86 within a couple of minutes after filling my tank. 2. More than half this guys pumps are open. 3. Gas is on a pretty good decline right now and everyone is jumping for joy so business has to be pretty damn good(its making news for Christ’s sake!). 4. It’s a Thursday and a lot of people are at work(not getting gas). 5. Raceway usually has the better price and almost everyone I know gets gas from there pretty often. Me: «Half your pumps are open, 5 more minutes can’t be that bad for business and plus my truck doesn’t start so I can’t move it». Owner: «I DON’T CARE! PUTITINNEUTRALANDPUSHITOR I CALLTHETOWTRUCK!!» (As professionalism goes out the window at this point, and not to mention I was on my way to the gym so the pre-workout was kicking in) Me: «OK A**HOLE! I’LLGOPUSHITANDWILLNOT! BEBACKTOTHISPLACEEVERAGAIN!» As I’m walking out to my truck to move it for this POS, he follows me gobbling like a turkey. Owner: «OHYOUGONNAUSETHATFOULLANGUAGETOME?! I BEENONTHISPLANETFOR62YEARS!» ME:” IDGAF! GETTHEHELLAWAYFROMME” As I’m pushing the truck away from the pumps, this guy is rambling on and on while pulling out his phone, in which I’m assuming he’s calling the tow company. And then he starts taking pictures of my license plates. He walks inside, comes back out and tells me he just called the tow truck. I tell him well good luck cause this truck won’t be getting towed today. As he goes back in, I try to start the truck and it works! Laughing at this point, I just drive off shaking my head and had a pretty awesome workout after all of that. And that’s why everyone should steer clear of this place. This guy thinks business is bad now? Just wait until the doors open at Buc-ee’s.

It’s gas… I totally forgot, but it’s usually a bit cheaper than everyone else in town(including Murphy…). Just beware because the entrance can be a bit traffic-heavy.
