“I love this store lived here for 25 plus year and always make a stop here at least once a day. I've seen employees come and go and some really cool employees, unfortunately there's one that works the graveyard shift that couldn't be more rude and disrespectful. His name is TJ so he says and works graveyard, I went in to get water for my dogs and tried the water from the soda fountain well the water comes out pinkish so I went to TJ the cashier and asked if he would fill my water bottle and as rude as could be said to use the water from soda fountain I told him the problem and asked if he could get it from the faucet behind the counter and then he yells "JESUS CRIEST And stomped off at that point I just said forget it, I wasn't rude I asked nicely and his tone and behavior was completely uncalled for and even if he doesn't like me for some unknown reason his professional customer service skills should be forthcoming first before personal. The guy is a a***ole and this needs to be known.”
