For the past three years I have been stopping at the same Speedway SuperAmerica on my way home from work at least once a week. I fill up my tank, pick up cigerrettes, and sometimes beer. Last week I stopped in and one of the employees (I never have cared much for her) wouldn't ring me up because she was arguing with her boyfriend. Normally I extend a measure of grace to cashiers and food servers, but this chick stepped over the line and I let her know about it.
Another cashier (this one works her butt off) rang me up and I left. I am not one to hold grudges, but I just couldn't let this go. I get home, power my computer up, and fly an e-mail to the corporate office. I received a cock N bull reply back and let them know I was not satisfied with their response. I told them as long as there is a gas station on every corner they didn't need to expect my business. They sent another e-mail, this one said I could expect to receive a $50.00 gift card in the mail. Woo Hoo, it came today. I will use it, but when it's gone I'll continue to go somewhere else.
Am I wrong? What would you have done? I'm half tempted to go back, take her picture, and blog her lazy fat ass.
As far as the free gas goes, I'll be driving free for the next 5 or 6 weeks, but I'll go to a different location.

Winters, you are sooo gonna get the poop stomped outa Manny by that big ole gal at tha station. LMAO!
Manny, I think we should all just be sweet to each other.
Here...sing with me.
I see trees of green
red roses tooooooo
I see the something something
for me and youuuuuu
and I think to mySELF
what a wonderful worlllllld.
crab-thanks to you, I now have that song playing in my head. Maybe I'll just bake her some thumbprint cookies.
I like cookies.
Denny, I rarely get ticked enough to blast anybody. Probably because while they're screwin off, my mind is wondering all about like a nomad. LOL!
denny-I agree she is human. However, you have no idea how many time's I have witnessed her doing everything except for her job.
crab-I have no problem with confrontation.
What I failed to mention in my post is that the other line had 7 people in it. The only person in her line was the boyfriend she was arguing with. Poor guy, he couldn't possibly have any balls left.
RIGHT ON MANNY!
Customer service is free for that company to provide.
Oh...Crabby said I needed to sing to you...
uh....Twinkle twinkle little star.
Is that good enough Crab?
Right on, sister! You tell them. There are too many other business places for you to patronage. Customer service is a lost art.
milky-what the world needs now, is love, sweet love.
ahhhha ha ha
Sign-I don't mind spending money, but I damn well do consider where I spend it.
Everyone sing
It's not like she was doing volunteer work. The female was getting paid.
I think I would have given her a break until I was sure it was not a work related thing and then I would have said something. I have had this sort of thing happen to many times.
I think you handled it well. Woo Hoo for $50. I get gas at speedway too but since I do not generally get anything there I just pay at the pump.
Crabby, do I need to sing too?
Kumbia my Lord kumbia,
Kumbia my Lord, kumbia,
Kumbia my Lord kumbia,
Oh Lord kumbia.
Barman-I have seen this guy in there talking to her before.
She goofs off all the time. It's always the same two ladies in there. The one works hard, know's exactly what I'll ask for, and is always able to maintain a good attitude. The other one is just lazy.
I would never set out to get someone in trouble. Truth is, I've seen more then enough and probably should have taken action a long time ago. Remember I've been going there for the past 3 years.
Get away from the window, I need you on the phones!
Ooops, sorry, different story.
Its rigth to be mad at that cashier, shes at work and her personal stuff should stay outside the store. On the other hand do I feel bad about the hard working girl in there. Maybe you should bring her some penutbutter cockies?
I forgot to sing when I was here.
"I'm bringin' sexy back...
you other guys don't know how to act..."
You go girl. If it was the only gas station they should still appreciate your business and be courteous. As for going else where, is it a pattern or one incident?
Mone-that's the beauty of it. I sang the other lady praises in my e-mail to corporate.
Sign-LOL Sing it gurl. Get it? Sign...Gurl? ahhhh ah ah I make myself laugh.
Sal? There's another station, different location, but just as convenient, maybe more convenient.
