I've been a regular at this station for a long time because it's close to home, but after my recent experiences, I won't be returning.
There is an attendant here who has a habit of saying "thanks for the tips" when handing back credit cards, even when no tip was given. It happened to me twice, and my girlfriend has mentioned he does the exact same thing to her, which has made her feel very uncomfortable.
