“The gentleman working last night was VERY patient when I disagreed, wrongly, with the gas charge. I became confused when the price on one side of the pump was different from the actual, and correct, charge. He explained this, but I kept arguing and wouldn't listen for way too long. His behavior showed exactly how to handle a situation like this and he reflects well on this store. While they should get the display on this pump fixed, I still give 5 stars for the service and apologize for making his job harder last night.”
