Super Food Mart — Local services in Denton

Stopped at this gas station to grab a few things and let the little one use the bathroom.

Both bathrooms were "out of order," so I asked the cashier, a man named Ikhtiar Alam, if they were really out of order. He asserted they were. I told him we intended to be customers, but he still said they were out of order. I asked him where he used the bathroom. He said outside. I asked him if his employers were aware of this. This is when he told me that he was the owners' son.

I was very surprised to hear this. They are required to maintain a restroom for their employees, regardless of whether or not they are family.

I will be contacting the appropriate agencies about their flagrant OSHA violations.

All that aside, gas is 20 cents more than local gas stations. Beer barn offers better prices, variety, and general service than this establishment. Cigarettes are cheaper anywhere else. Add the employee, a son of the owner, telling me he urinates and defecates on the side of the building, and even suggesting my child do the same... well... that's where I draw the line.

In the end, I decided not to do business with this establishment. Today, they might have only lost the profit for a couple monster energy drinks, a pepsi, and a pack of newports, but in the long run, they lost a customer for life.

Thankfully, I'm very aware of how quickly the city will respond to my report. You cannot run a business and have an employee relieving himself on the side of the building, let alone, suggest that customers do the same.

It's 2016, occupational health and safety is...

Go to this place pretty often, and I'm always greeted really well, and shown a lot of respect. Maybe that's because I used to live right across the street and went there all the time when I was over there. The owner is a little bit stand-off-ish, but his son is actually a pretty cool dude, from at least the little bit I've talked to him. He always recognizes me when I come in. They're maybe a bit expensive, but they're not corporate owned...so if you want 7-eleven prices, just go to the effing 7-eleven...

I just stopped in for 1 item and the man was very unclear and short with what he was trying to communicate. When I asked for clarification he very rudely asked if i, "understood english." He acted incredibly put off by me spending money there and I've honestly never been met with so much disrespect when I was nothing but polite from the start of the interaction.

Don't spend money here, I know it's just a "hole in the wall" gas station, buy they do not deserve business with how they treat...
