Gas station rebrand, and I am bummed!

Was out on an overnight gas station loop, and passed by the freeway exit where my least favorite Shell station is located.

The gas station across the street used to be a Conoco, and it was always a ding-a-thon. Everything that could be counted off was usually counted off in multiples: handwritten signs, outdated POP, dirty pumps, surly clerks, you name it.

Now it's been rebranded as a Sinclair, and that company has banned me from doing their locations, so one less gas station in the list of usual suspects...

You can guarantee that nothing will change with Sinclair. At least with the Sinclair stations I've seen here. They are all run down and suffer from a severe lack of maintenance.
I was tempted to pop in as I passed by again on the return part of the loop just for grins. Will definitely do so next time.

That's definitely not the case in my area. Sinclairs are plentiful and mostly well maintained here.

Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on
Why were you banned, if you don't mind me asking.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

The client complained that I didn't spend enough time onsite.

The locations in question were card locks with no store to evaluate, but they apparently didn't take that into account.

Client bans cannot be appealed, at least not with the MSC in question.

On the other hand, bans from the MSC can be appealed, and thankfully I was able to successfully appeal one for the conditional reveal gas station shops.

Things got cross-wise with an editor over ambiguous address info, and they pulled my plug. Without getting those reinstated I could not do the gas station routes that have become my bread and butter.
