Extremely Disturbing Customer Service Experience
Management Needs to Address This!
On August 23, 2026, at approximately 12:55 PM, I visited this gas station with two friends to purchase refreshments, snacks, and ZYN pouches. The store initially appeared clean, spacious, and well-stocked.
That impression changed immediately at the register.
The female employee working the counter was visibly unhappy and spoke to us in an unnecessarily abrasive manner. When we requested ZYN, she returned to the counter and ordered all three of us to remove our IDs from our wallets and hand them to her. We complied.
One of my friends politely asked if she was okay. She said she didn't feel well. My friend responded sympathetically and said she probably should have called out. The employee replied that calling out was "frowned upon."
We acknowledged that she may not have been feeling well, but my friend calmly pointed out that it was not an excuse to treat customers poorly.
Her response was shocking.
She abruptly removed our purchases from the counter and told us to **"get out of my store"**, that she was not serving us, and that we should not come back.
We were stunned. We had not threatened, insulted, or otherwise caused a disturbance.
Then things became considerably more serious.
After leaving, I realized the employee had not returned my driver's license. I checked my wallet, all six of my pockets, and eventually removed every card from my wallet to make absolutely certain I had not misplaced it.
I returned to the store three separate times and explained that my driver's license was missing and that she had been the person who took it.
Each time, she denied having it and told me, **"Look dude, I do not have your ID. I am on the phone with the police and I have reported you. You need to leave. They are on their way."**
I told her I was willing to wait for law enforcement because I knew I had done nothing wrong and wanted the situation documented.
On my third return, my driver's license was discovered **between the card reader and the area where the employee had been sitting.**
That is extremely concerning.
The employee also refused to provide her name when asked. When we explained that we intended to contact management regarding her conduct, she reportedly responded that management was "completely on my side."
Whether that statement is true remains to be seen.
What concerns me most is not simply rude customer service. It is that a customer's government-issued identification was taken during an ID verification, was not returned, was subsequently denied to be in the employee's possession, and was only located after repeated attempts to recover it.
I am requesting that management **review the store's surveillance footage, determine exactly what occurred with my identification, review whether law enforcement was actually contacted, and investigate this employee's conduct.**
Customers should never be afraid that their identification will be mishandled or that they will be threatened with police involvement after a completely routine purchase.
I am not looking for an apology written off as "customer service." I am looking for **accountability and tangible corrective action.**
Management: please take this seriously. I will be following up soon!
