Gulf

I and my family have patronized this gas station for over 20 years. But an incident that occurred on Saturday night November 16, 2013 was so outrageous that we will never go there again. My son and I were driving when we realized that we both didn’t have our keys to our house. It was urgent that we get home as soon as possible and when we reached for our cell phones to call our family, we realized that they were both «dead.» We decided to go to the gas station and fill up and ask to use their phone. Bashir, the attendant on duty said «we only have a company phone.» I offered to pay a dollar for the local call, but he refused and directed us to a pay phone outside that was broken. Thankfully, a bystander who pulled up in his limousine offered his cell phone. I went back the next day to complain to the manager and his excuse was that «some other customer had recently called Canada.» I responded that a person needs to use common sense when confronted with a situation and they were lacking in that as well as common courtesy.
