“Hats off to Lauren! She had a very rude customer pressing her on a pump discrepancy of 2 cents. She politely explained the policy between the pump and register pricing and that the pump is the correct price. He was still getting angry with her. She once again explained the policy and he wasn’t going to except her explanation. I stepped in and told him to stop harassing the woman, he cursed at me and left. Lauren was professional and calm thru the encounter. Hope she had a better day.”
