Circle K is one of my favorite gas stations; I always have good luck with them. So I decided to give this particular store a try with a problem that I always, always have.
I went in there and practically begged for assistance because with my request it was probably easy to say "no." All four of my tires were low on air and every time I try to use one of those air pump things I can never get it right. Plus I have a very hard time squatting. (Who are we kidding, I can't squat.) There were only women working there and in my mind I was thinking, "Oh no," cause usually guys are better at this sort of thing. just how it is. I am a woman and I am saying this.
I told the cashier my dilemma and asked if anyone was available to help. Honestly, I was willing to take no for an answer. She referred me to the Store Manager who was happy to help. Like me, she was not 100% familiar with the process, but she said, "We'll learn together." Ha, ha! Sweet.
We went to my car, and I helped by holding the little caps and reading the screen. Even the screen was not working, so I took out my tire pressure gauge which I did not really trust for accuracy and had trouble reading/using. Working together, we got all four tires inflated. She did most of the work, though.
I thanked her profusely and then proceeded to vacuum my car cause it needed it. So thank you, thank you, thank you, Holly Ridge Circle K for going above and beyond today. It made a real difference for me.
And we women may not be the best at "car stuff", but with persistence and patience, we can get it done. (Holla!)
