SuperDay

I learned something today. Even if you are present, gas can overflow out of the car’s tank from the pump. I have been pumping gas my whole life and have never had this happen or have seen this happen. I did not even realize it could happen. Since the pump automatically shuts off, I assumed a sensor inside would keep such a thing from occurring. Tonight, while I was pumping gas at SuperDay I had a gas spill and the attendant was right there by the pump. Initially while I stood there processing the situation I told the attendant what was happening and his response was to walk away as fast as he could, pretending not to hear me. I was shocked to see the gas geyser at first, but quickly managed to stop the flow. I called out, «Excuse me…» embarrassed by my mess, and without even turning around he barked, «I *heard* you.» Well, damn. Perhaps a better response may have been to turn around to speak to me, not run off, respond when initially spoken to, or better yet, jump in and help the stunned customer who is completely unfamiliar with this experience.
Well if my luck wasn’t already running red hot the pump did not issue a receipt. I went inside and the lovely and kind attendant immediately ran into the back room. After he finally returned I asked for my receipt. He asked which pump, knowing full well which one I was on. I replied that I hadn’t a clue and he responded, «You were on number 14 where you spilled all that gas.» Little man, if you know which pump, why ask? You have already proven yourself to be a useless creep, why seal the deal with this condescension? Ah yes, because your life is small and your behavior has proven that you have racked up some serious karma points. Enjoy cleaning up my mess.

I’ve been a frequent user of this gas station, and had a HORRIBLE experience with the gas station attendant today. Granted, it was pouring rain and I was soaked (so I wasn’t in the best mood), but both my credit cards wouldn’t read outside.
Now, who goes INSIDE nowadays to run a card through a cashier? I buzzed through the intercom and asked what to do, and got a rude «You need to bring your card inside.» Having run two credit cards through unsuccessfully, I went in only to get a jerk-​of-​an-​attendant (#whoshouldbefired). I asked for $ 30 on the card, got frustrated when he asked me what pump number (I had no idea, as I NEVER go inside and pay in person), and he threw the card back at me with a «Get the F* out» attitude.
Hiring night staff, as hard as it may be (Tuesday, ⁵⁄₂₁ at 9:30 pm CST), reflects your business, and this loser should be fired.
No worries — I don’t plan on ever coming back, SuperDay!
