This review is for the Marathon gas station only. The restaurant was amazing. Ate at the Kiva diner…read moreand then went to fill up the tank. All pumps were full, but one had an empty car parked with bumper even with the middle of the pump. The assumption was that someone decided to run inside, so my husband backed bumper to bumper and began fueling. He was nearly finished when Eric, the extremely rude pump jocky, came up to my husband and started shouting that the pump had a leak, and that was why the car was parked there. My husband explained that he saw no leak and assumed that the owner of the car had gone into the store. He mumbled a few things as he went around the front of our car and as he approached my door, I heard him call my husband an effing a-hole (right in front of me and my daughter). I opened my door, got out and said, "Excuse me, what did you call him?" He repeated himself loudly and told us to "go back to Texas, "along with other things directed at my husband, who was now angry at Eric for shouting at me. I involved a female manager whose name, unfortunately, I forgot to get in all the chaos. At first, she was apathetic and didn't even want to come to the pump so I could show her where the car was parked and explain the misunderstanding, but she eventually came out and basically shrugged it off, including the cussing and shouting, and said she sided with Eric. I don't believe in the saying that the customer is always right, but an employee should never use that language and shout at a customer unless the customer started it. My advice to Eric and the manager, Shouting and cussing at customers costs business, paper, marker and tape to write "out of order", priceless!!! At the very least, park the car directly in front of the pump or perhaps invest in a traffic cone. But I guess a sign and/or traffic cone makes too much sense for the senseless. We won't be back, and it's a shame. The attached restaurant was quite good.
