“During a recent ice storm I pulled off the road and stopped at this Phillips gas station and pantry in Ft Pierre because I couldn't see out my side or rear windows and my side mirrors were totally iced over, rendering them useless. I purchased some rubbing alcohol to see if that would melt the ice. To my surprise, as I was attempting (without much success) to clear the ice from my mirrors, one of the store's clerks came out with his own scraper and assisted me. He did a better job than I did at clearing the mirrors so I could drive safely back to my home in Pierre five miles away. The guy certainly went beyond his job duties, and I am really grateful to him for his help. I can't thank him enough. I hope he sees this review.”
