Has anyone had a really negative experience from the station employees once you do the "reveal" part of the shop?
I have had some interesting ones, that's for sure. I was doing an audit for a major convenience store chain once and a few of the managers wanted nothing to do with me. He said anyone could print these LOA and he kind of tossed it back in my face, extremely rude. Another manager got verbal hostile. I was about to leave but before I could go, he called his manager, who told him I was authorized to be there. He apologized after I had already closed the report with "refused by management" note.
One of the more hilarious encounters I had was with a Red White And Blue shop owner who asked if I could relay a message to corporate for him. He said "Tell corporate to ****** my ***** and ***** off, go to ***** and any other profanity he could think of. He explained to me why he hates corporate in great detail, revealing some rather interesting policies on their end. It's tough on some of these gas station owners. He was actually very nice and kind, making sure that I knew he had no issue with me doing my audit, he just hated the gas company. He seriously wanted me to relay the angry message, which I did.
Maybe this is a sadder commentary on me than a good way to respond but....I really don't want to work that hard. Easier money to be made elsewhere.
