One of the most in expensive gas stations in Granada Hills ! I could care less about everything else. I come to a gas station for gas that’s all.

I experienced sort of an «incident» this morning at this gas station…
My morning had already gotten to a bad start, I was running late, and all I wanted was gas and coffee…
I stopped in and saw their coffee display, it left alot to be desired… only 3 airpots, 2 of which was the same flavor…“Whatever” I thought, just grab a cup and go. I reach for one airpot: empty…the 2^nd one… empty…even the DECAF was empty… mind you this was around 6:45 in the morning! I didn’t have time to make another stop, I was so frustrated, I slammed the empty cup down onto the counter, but it didn’t set down… instead it banged around a couple of nearby things and landed on the floor as I walked out. The cashier gave me this nasty look and accused me of throwing the cup onto the floor and was angrily telling me off as I walked away (no cursing though or else there REALLY would’ve been an incident *lol*). It’s not my fault… I told a friend about this and she said: «remember what it was like when you had a job like that?» And I replied: «when I HAD a job like that, I was ALWAYS on point wtih the coffee… ESPECIALLY in the morning when people need it the most!» AND furthermore, if an airpot is empty, I have the COURTESY and COMMON SENSE to turn the spouts around so that an approaching customer will know that it’s empty instead of grabbing a cup and getting their hopes up. Look, I’m a reasonably patient person… yes, my temper runs hot, but it takes a while to get there… I don’t ask for too much in life… but lady, don’t come between me and my coffee… A gas station with no coffee in the morning is one I won’t be coming back to… In fact, this is the 3^rd time I’ve come in (at various times of the day) to this station wanting coffee and walked away empty handed. BUT it is one of the cleaner, non-​creepy stations (which is why I gave an extra star on the rating)…but still, because of what happened, I’m never returning there…
