“The tl;dr of this is that I was nice to them, they were nice to me and were understanding of my situation. .......... Blew a really bad flat tire, as in I lost all pressure in my tire almost immediately. I pulled in and across three spaces on the side of the building, blocking them all. I didn't want to drive on the rim any more as I didn't want to damage it, so I was loathe to move the car. I went in and explained to the guys behind the counter and they were very polite and understanding. They had seen me on camera with the flat. They even gave me a large garbage bag for the flat tire & rim so I didn't get salt and dirty melting snow throughout the back of the car after AAA came and threw the spare on for me. Would've done it myself but I'm having surgery on my wrist in a couple weeks so using it like that was a no go. They had no problem with me waiting there for 30 minutes. They aren't in the nicest neighborhood, so I wasn't sure how they were going to be about the whole thing, but again they were cool and overly helpful. I also noticed that gas was cheaper than the station down the street too, so there's that.”
