Really, really poor customer service

Today I had the unfortunate luck to experience the worst customer service I have ever seen.

I stopped to pick up some gas on the way home at a gas station in a small town about 45 minutes away from my farm. I filled up my wife’s Tribeca and 2 Jerry cans. While I was filling the car, I went to the pump on the other side of the island to fill up one of the Jerry cans with premium. I heard the pump click on the car and then thought I heard gas running out.

Sure enough, the nozzle tripped but did not shut off and gas was pouring out like crazy. I got that stopped and got my wife to help fill that Jerry cans with regular. Then the premium pump didn’t print a receipt.

I went into the gas station with my 9 year old son to ask for a receipt and tell them their nozzle needs to be replaced. They told me that I had to clean up the spilled gas... This turned into the 2 idiots working there refusing to issue a receipt (I took a video of this) and then being told to go F..k myself. I asked the guy what he said and videoed him repeat his suggestion that I go F..k myself. As I walked out, he told me to suck his c..k.

Obviously I was in touch with the store owner who initially tried to cover for his staff. Then I sent him the videos and his tune changed. He called the guy who it turns out has Aspergers and the guy quit. This guy is in his 40’s and his mom got involved... Needless to say, he has a few days off to figure this out.

I agreed not to post my videos of the incident and to drop it. The poor guy has been through enough.

What would you have done? I have this charming video of a guy in full uniform at Canada’s gas station telling me to go F..k myself...

Oh and seriously, I did nothing to escalate this. The videos confirmed this.
