I don't know if the guys who were working the fuel center last week will ever read this - but they deserve some commendation for dealing with a massive line as fuel was starting to be delivered again.
I pulled up to a line of at least 20 cars (not including those at the pumps) at 2:46. By 3:00 I was on the road again with a full tank of gas. It was a masters class in traffic control and organization.
They smartly closed off all but one entrance, and had one person there giving instructions (you can fill up your car and one container only) in a friendly manner. Another guy was watching the pumps to signal to the first guy where to direct cars. A third was on hand to deal with any problems before they were actually problems.
This could have been chaotic, stressful and a huge waste of time on my vacation. Instead it was a beauty to watch and I was out before I could believe it. read more
