They're Indian-with-a-dot, not Arabs, and they seem to be working their asses off to make a living in this town. It seems to be a family business, as far as I can tell.
The customer service from the people who sold the station was a lot worse, IMHO.
I made a point of welcoming them to town, and will go out of my way to patronize them, rather than buying gas from some surly teenager.

I absolutely cannot stand "pre-pay only".
I went to the Kwik Trip in Waseca one time and accidently got on their "pre-pay" pump. Rather than get back in the car and waste 5 minutes jockeying for position at another pump, I walked into the store to pay.
I handed the clerk my credit card.
"How much gas did you want," she asked.
"All of it. Enough to fill my tank," I said.
"Uhhh, we can't really do that on pre-pay," she said.
"Well, can't you just keep my credit card up here and charge it when the pump shuts off?"
Apparently not.
Grrrr. Like I'd know exactly how much gas I'll need to fill up.

the indians are taking over all locally owned buisnesses how do you expect our town to grow if all our buisnesses are owned by those who take the money out of albert lea. and as far as the workers who indeed were all fired by those indian they were hard working some were working full time and going to school they were polite to all customers and were a main reason i was a regular shopper they made it nice to go in and see a friendly face now you won't even understand the person behind the counter that is why i will never go in there and support them or there country.

Whatever happened to supporting locally owned businesses don't go to farmer state bank for that answer they don't know the meaning. and why do you think the south side of town is dead because no one supports it. how can you keep a business going in a town where the people living there don't even support it.

How does race have anything to do with where money ends up? A highly ignorant and blatantly racist statement.
