Corner Store

Come here often for drinks and fuel. Nice little store.

I came here almost a year ago and couldn't believe the horrible, horrible service I received from the young man who was apparently the only person working. I walked up to the counter and he didn't even look up from his phone. When he finally did he looked at me like, why are you bothering me? I only needed something very basic like being rung up or something and he was so rude and argumentative,and aggressive, talking to me like a friend or worse, just like talking down to one of the people he saw in the hallway at school. It was very weird. Like I said, I needed very basic assistance, and I was being like, my normal self, I wasn't mad or anything, and he was aggressive to the point that I suspected he might become violent. I've never quite had an experience like that, and was kind of the beginning of seeing that customer service has died, and Gen Z is part of the reason why. I don't care if anyone finds that statement offensive, it's just what I believe. What kind of people take an actual person's name, and use it over and over to describe a person with "negative" characteristics, (simultaneously shaming them, judging them, condescending them for their feelings and opinions)? I think that's an incredible #$&?!@# shame. That should have NEVER been done, and it quite honestly sickens me. And who are YOU to decide what "negative" is, anyway? It's quite subjective. And I'm SHOCKED that you so vehemently view a person who expects good service as negative. 😂

I see over and over again how Gen Z treats people with disrespect, and are SO judgmental of people. And if that sounds judgmental (haha), it's supposed to be. Yes, I'm judging you for being judgmental. Turnabout is fair play. It's just so gross, and it's a pattern I see over and over again. This incessant judgment of everyone and everything, this laissez-faire attitude about their jobs, and disrespectful, rude treatment of people who are insignificant to them, bothering them, or are "in their way" to some degree. I recognize that they aren't all like this & and some of those people are even friends of mine. But it certainly seems like a (possibly overwhelming) majority. ;(

I know this sounds like a bad review, but...recently I came here again and there were new people working who were actually quite nice. I inquired about ownership and management did, in fact, change recently. I'm really happy about that. I'm stunned that the previous managers were able to get away with hiring such incompetent, disrespectful, rude, and lazy people. I'm impressed when I see people who actually care about their jobs and actually TRY to help their patrons. That used to be a given and now it's like, absolutely earth-shattering and stunning when I come across it. So thank you for being kind and providing good service ! I was avoiding this place for awhile but I will be back again.
