I pull up, start the credit card insertion, and the gal gets out of her SUV and looks at me, tells her passenger "he doesn't have a mask, stay in the car", gets out, gives me death stare, and tells me "you need a mask", and waddles off to do something other than pump gas.
I pump away, standing by my fill port, properly monitoring my nozzle. She comes back from wherever it was that she went, with a pile of papers, gives me another death stare and says "you need a mask, you should be arrested" i just look at her, and say "have a nice day", she opens her door a little too fast and bangs the door into the nearby bollard (hint, either pull up a bit more, or park further away to avoid that). and she departs.
we were never closer than about 10 feet apart, the sun was shining, there was a gentle breeze, and I just stood there waiting for the gas tank to get filled.
and the kicker: her vanity plate said "HAVEFUN"
i should be arrested? for what? not being afraid? for enjoying God's beautiful day?
