Ballard 76

It is easy to pull in and out of this gas station.
The equipment is well maintained (the pump handle latch stays on).

My main reason for writing this review is to bring a few things to light about one of this particular store’s employees, not the store itself. I mean, c’mon, it’s a gas station — what do you expect? Anyhow, within the last 5 years there has been this fellow working there who is middle eastern yet he’s as American as Dolly Parton’s tits. Well groomed, dark skin, this gaze on his face that seems to say «…», and a moustache to boot. During my interactions with this fellow which I am going to guess are more than 50 some odd times, he has never muttered a word — -never, not a single syllable. He delivers this cold glare and languid transaction that defines a whole new spectrum of customer service. He simply doesn’t give a shit. Interacting with this fellow helped me calm the stormy waters that were once in my being during customer service situations. This f*&king guy, he’ll look you dead in the eyes and give you your 43 cents back and not say a word. I say if it bugs you when people are distant and non-​caring in these situations and you feel that they owe it to you and acknowledge you and be bubbly for their $ 10 an hour wage then you should go see what this guy has to say about it.
He ain’t talkin’.
He’ll remind you that you really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things and let you get back to your ever-​so-​important life. He’ll freeze a moment in time for you under those fluorescent lights.
