We have to understand A FULL PICTURE before leaping to conclusions… And SOME are sadly NOT gonna WANT hear/see this (they only want THEIR NARRATIVE heard/seen; and may not be WHOLE STORY)…

Citgo on oak street and fort street denied me the right to charge my electric wheelchair I was going home from the hospital i was on a 22% battery and he denied me the right to charge my chair for half an hour so I could get home.

 

My (sorry if you think HARSH, but sadly I alone many times am only one dealing in REALITY and LOGIC/REASON rather than knee-jerk Emotional Hysterics SNOWFLAKEism) response…

It was UNCARING (and shame this happened to you) for them to do that, but “RIGHT” wrong [and I didn't say this there-on, but this DIRECT REFLECTION on our PISS-POOR EDUCATION (aka: Communist Indoctrination factories) system (related: /power-elite/2024/08/its-why-many-do-not-want-history-taught-in-u-s-schools-they-might-learn-from-bradford-colony-early-failure-if-full-truth-taught-2453688.html)]!!!! (I missed that in the Bill Of Rights or even Biblical obligations to others under Biblical Community (via our Free Will to want to help others, not Worldly expectations and DEMANDS of others knuckle to our wants/needs rather than us doing our best to be self-sufficient as possible)! Did you get a Charge somewhere else nearby (there are a whole lot of other places along there, did they ALL deny you (but we get it, there are no longer like back in the 70′s a Gas Station on virtually every corner; now just Bars, Pharmacies, and Liquor Stores)? why is this CITGO being only one called out)? Did you manage to make it Home on the Charge you had? What are the OTHER DETAILS, the REST OF THE STORY as Paul Harvey would want. MY APOLOGIES, I am certain this is NOT the kind of response you’re hoping for (no-one wants hear REALITY, we do not have to LIKE reality but it is what we have to deal in and we are only hearing from you here a soundbite part of the potentially overall broader situation). What, you want all to BOYCOTT them?!?!? I dare say peeps should tell the Manager they are NOT HAPPY you were denied COURTESY (not RIGHT) to recharge and want hear WHY they would deny such (again, Paul Harvey style, wanting REST OF THE STORY). [I also left out there, irrelevant to there, but relevant to continuing discussions here on B4IN and inter-relates to other pieces from me: I never go to CITGO's due to them Nationalized by the Communist regime in their Home Nation (but, yes, a whole other aside/story) but if/when desperate, any port in a Storm as saying goes]
[and I conclude with] I would like to hear more surrounding details. Do you have a NAME (or their position there) of who denied you? Other FACTS?

Further found, by their response, indeed was 11pET and therefore many places CLOSED [which would be TRUE whether Holiday or not]

Therefore yet another response PROBABLY NOT APPRECIATED [didn't outright say WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT ON A LATE NIGHT WITH AN INSUFFICIENT CHARGE (you put yourself in that spot) OR OTHER MEANS to be prepared on HOLIDAY WEEKEND?!?!?]…

 

Johanna Again, sorry that happened to you. And THE ADDL FACT of it being that time on Labor Day Night (with many other places indeed would be CLOSED) make it all the more important that EVEN IF THERE IS SOME RULE at the Station (there have to be HUMAN MADE EXCEPTIONS given circumstances). We all of course have to be AWARE given circumstances that indeed a time of a day like a Holiday many places would be Closed (and the Auto example is, being filled up BEFORE a Holiday and options more limited to be sure WE are prepared and not put into bad situations as such arose here).

 

Sorry, again INCONVENIENT FACT and REALITY (TOUGH LOVE lessons unlearned), everyone everywhere is NOT REQUIRED to be open and welcoming 24h day 7 days a week TO CATER TO/FOR US. We have to have PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and SENSE to be PREPARED for situations as best possible (yes, understandable too, sometimes SHIT happens, sometimes we FAIL to do our own preparations and due diligence and WE SHOULD BE CARING toward others in such situations).

 

I could go on, but I DO NOT WANT TO BE HARSH, well harsher than I’ve already been and some BASED ON EMOTION will not bother READ and TAKE TO HEART any lessons already!!! And, for-the-record, I myself am on Disability and it therefore LIMITS the reality of many things I CAN OR CANNOT DO and it up to ME to understand what I can and cannot do to avoid putting myself into situations trying DEMAND others have to Help me.
