I don't know if management reads their Yelp reviews, but let's give it a shot:
I've been coming to this station for 20 years, depending on the ever fluctuating prices among the nearby gas stations.
The fellow who works the majority of the overnights for a few years is usually very pleasant and we have a good relationship, but this is about the recent guy who works at least Wednesday nights.
Those 20 years as a customer were as a taxi out of Suffern... and Wednesday 4/3/23 was slow enough that I had fallen asleep for an hour unintentionally and awoke at 12:30 AM.
I headed to the Citgo still a bit groggy and due to the bills I had on me intended to pay with my debit card.
The young man who hasn't been there that long came up to me and simply stared in a way that was slightly offputting and I automatically said my standard line "fill it up regular cash".
Before the fill up was complete I realized my mistake and sheepishly said, with debit card in hand "I'm sorry, I forgot".
He told me I had to pay inside which was not a surprise, but as I readied myself he said something along the lines of "why you tell me this ?" along with repeating multiple times that I had to pay inside.
I was a bit out of it admittedly, and feeling increasingly embarrassed I said something like "I understand, you don't have to tell me nine times".
he went inside by the cashier just before me and increasingly berated me... Getting uglier and nastier with every statement !
Eventually telling me I was stupid before escalating to telling me I smelled like sh*t and should take a shower / that I was an asshole / that they didn't need me and I shouldn't come back / And other delightful stuff which just felt evil to the point that I was flabbergasted and really the most I was saying back is "why are you being so mean about this ??"
he directly followed me out as I returned to the cab and when I said "I've always gotten along with the overnight guy for years" he then suggested I go suck his d*ck along with a few spicy "f*ck you"s !!
I, like countless other folks, have been living through very different often rough times since Covid plus a lot of other modern issues.... Plus most people find me a very nice and earnest guy who is also pretty sensitive and I'm still obviously bothered about this 24 hours later.
I just drove by and he seems to be there again tonight so now I have to wait another 24 hours to talk to my friend there... But I'm actually not considering sucking his d*ck.... Just bending his ear and getting a little perspective on what other folks may have said. read more
