Well when I say that the owner was very hateful and said “buy your gas now, you see the line?” Like there actually wasn’t a line it was a trailer trying to find parking. Then she says “then go pump it and move and park your car so they can” literally made me wanna leave and not spend my money there but I really had to use the restroom.
