“I will like to praise Carolyn for helping me out today. I'm a new truck driver and didn't know how to use my EFS card. She went above and beyond to assist me with two desiel pumps because I have two desiel tanks. She was patient with me and made me feel better than a customer. I really appreciate this because not too many people in the world are patient. They want to rush you out and don't want to explain nothing, they just want your money. On the other hand, Carolyn was friendly and informational. She even suggested which sandwich was good. I purchased it and I did like it. Carolyn, thank you. I appreciate you. Keep doing what you're doing. The entire world need more people like you who are patient when giving a service. Happy holidays.-Desiel Truck driver who didn't know how to use his fuel card”
