Purchased gas yesterday driving home from family Christmas celebration. Had my credit card duplicated and used before I got home an hour later. Pump was covered in generic looking security seals, and tap-to-pay didn't work, I should have known better. Luckily credit card company caught it, but the pilot store let the charge go through. Beware!

Managers made me feel really uncomfortable and unwelcoming they followed me all around the store because I was a black man with bags stopping to shower and get food before I hit the road. They followed me all around the store pretending to be on phone staring at me manager may be racist to African American people. Will not recommended stopping here while manager on day shift is working horrible customer service.
