Manager's Bullying and Chauvinistic Attitude
Went to Dee's JKF Shell Station on Beach Street in Bloomfield, NJ this morning. Asked for a full tank of regular gas and gave the attendant my credit card. When my tank was full, he asked me for my card. I said I had given it to him already. He checks his pockets, his office, etc., and said he did not have it. He asked me for my card again. I told him that I had given it to him.(getting nervous now - I was the only female at the gas station and he apparently lost my credit card!). He insisted that I did not give him my card and I said that I had given him my card. He treated me like an idiot, telling me to look in my purse - I show him my wallet where i keep my card and the slot was empty. I told him that if he did not find my card, I could not pay for my gas. He wanted my home phone number - I said no (after all, he had no name tag or id badge and had just lost my credit card!). The manager came over and was snarky with me right from the start. Gave me a left-handed sarcastic apology - totally made me feel like I was the problem, instead of his careless attendant. Totally chauvinistic and bullying manner from the gas station manager, Frank, who identified himself as a Bloomfield fireman - was that supposed to intimidate me??? So, I called my husband, who called our bank and he also called the Bloomfield Police because if the card was given to someone else, it could lead to credit card fraud, id theft - kind of serious, but Frank the Fireman was annoyed with ME the entire time. My husband came with his card to pay for the gas, the officer showed up, still Frank is sticking his face into my car window, giving me a hard time, bullying me, telling me I had an attitude and then accusing me of trying to leave without paying for the gas. The Bloomfield Police Officer was Right In Front of My Car - I did not try to leave and husband was standing Right Next to the Bloomfield Police Officer with His Credit Card! If Frank the Bloomfield Fireman, had bothered to even try to be a little bit understanding, I wouldn't be writing this, but he continued to bully me, demanding payment for the gas and acting like a total ***. He lost my credit card, I have to wait 10 days for a new one, I missed an important meeting at work and was late for work, and all he cares about is telling me about how is he is a Bloomfield Fireman -- still trying to scare Me with that???? He has Zero Customer Service Skills. If all you need is gas, I suppose you could go there, but if you want to be treated like a human being, go somewhere else! Do Not Patronize Frank, the manager of Dee's JKF Shell on Beach Street in Bloomfield. Oh, did I mention that Frank is a Bloomfield Fireman? That should help!!
