I was VERY irritated today when I tried to exchange a leaking propane tank, sold to me by Scott's…read moreValley Quik Stop. I checked in earlier in the day with a man working at the register who told me "no problem, bring it back and we'll exchange it for you". When I brought it back an hour later the woman working there said "sorry, the managers not here. I can't do it"! When I asked her to please call the manager she said "I can't! It's her day off"!! That was it!! She wouldn't budge!!! Honestly, I used to shop here all the time, but I will no longer patronize the place. The manager should be reachable for a dangerous Leaking Propane tank. Instead, no one was available and they sent me on my way. Not the best place to get your propane tanks, apparently!!!!

I came to this store to buy a money order. A scary old man held the door for me the entire time I…read morewalked across the parking lot, staring at me. When I crossed the threshold, he followed me in, letting the door close behind him in front of two other customers. They came in behind him and he ushered them ahead of him so that he could stare at me while I got my money order. The cashier could tell I was frazzled and he asked me if I was okay. I explained that the man was making me uncomfortable. He said, "Oh I know him. You're all good." "I'm clearly not all good. If you know him, tell him to stop." "I don't know him like that." "But he is making a customer feel uncomfortable." "Then say something to him." So, I turn to him and say, "You need to leave me alone, dude." He snaps back, "Oh what, don't hold the door for you?" "No! Don't hold the fucking door open for me and don't stare at my tits for a half mile either!" Keep in mind, this man was only holding the door while I walked across the whole parking lot because he saw me coming, and then let it close in front of TWO other customers. He was not being polite. He was being predatory. I am a grown ass adult. I can open my own fucking door. I turn to the cashier with tears in my eyes and say, "I shouldn't have to do that, man, I'm the customer." He says, "Look, I just got outta prison. I'm not trying to go back." "I can appreciate that man. I get it." He shook my hand and I left crying and shaking. I want to be very clear here: THE CASHIER DID NOTHING WRONG, he just failed to do what was right. And that is not HIS problem, it is a problem with 7/11. It is a very important thing that 7/11 hires ex-cons. When those people have options to be productive members of the community, WE ALL BENEFIT. I am no fool. I understand the importance of this job not just for him, but for all of us. The problem is that the only way this man knows to solve a problem is through violence. That doesn't help any of us, and it doesn't provide him with a framework for how to effectively exercise his actual power in that situation. The 7/11 is not public space, it is private property. The appropriate action would have been to tell the old man, "Hey, dude, you gotta get out of here for now. Go where I can't see you and come back in five minutes. Leave the woman alone." If he doesn't leave, you have the right to refuse him service. "Listen, man, if you won't leave for a little while, I gotta ban you for the day." And if he still won't leave, now he is trespassing because you already refused to serve him. At that point, you can involve the police if necessary. 7/11 should be training its employees to do this. What if ICE showed up? Trespassing is the one thing people at their workplaces can do to help keep the community safe from ALL predators. Know your privileges and use them wisely and for the benefit of the people.

Basically I knew that "out of order" sign on the bathroom was BS. And as a woman with an overactive bladder and a penchant for drinking water regularly sometimes must do I stared that cashier straight in the eye and was like, "Is that bathroom really out of order, bro?" "You can use it." With a wink and all. So you know it's real... Creepy. And from the bottom of my heart as much as I hate and am disturbed by winks and people who feel comfortable doling them out, I will never forget that cashier's kindness because I was able to relieve myself and get my life. So thank you.
