“As I was passing through, I stopped at the gas station and met a gal named Mary! Not only was she exactly what I needed while traveling she happened to be one of the kindest people I had ever come across while on the road. She not only took the time to ask me about my day. Asked me how I am personally. You don’t come across people anymore who genuinely care about how you’re doing, but she did. She is what the standard of customer service should look like. Last thing I’ll say is when I came to leave this review I noticed other reviews not only about the stop, but about Mary. And if no one else says it, I will those reviews are from people who clearly Have issues. She deserves a raise. Mary if you see this, thank you 🩷”
