76 Gas Station

I can only go by the experience I’ve had at this gas station. I went in to buy a pack of cigarettes at about 4AM as I was doing security and door checks for a nearby party. The man behind the counter was sleeping and had to be aroused with a rapping at the window. I asked him for a pack of cigarettes and gave him my debit card.
He proceeded to tell me that my card was declined, which was odd as I was sure there shouldn’t have been a problem. He handed me back my credit card and the pack of cigarettes. I reminded him that he told me that my card was declined and handed them back to him. In his sleepy stupor, I assumed he just made the mistake.
Two days later I’ve now seen that the charge was valid and the money has been pulled from my account. I called the station and they told me to call back at 8pm to get in touch with the cashier that handled the transaction. I explained that I’d likely need to speak with a manager who can refund transactions and he proceeded to hang up on me. I called back and he said that he was «very busy» and I told him I understand, but that I would like to speak with the manager of the station or at least leave my callback information to be contacted later when business slowed. He proceeded to hang up on me again.
I would be very cautious about patronizing this establishment with anything but cash.
