76, Alhambra CA

This place is run by a very angry and rude old man. Do not give them money for any reason. Every time I've been here I have a bad experience. Also the older man who works here wouldn't turn on the air pump after I paid for gas and showed him my receipt. He was extremally rude for no reason and kept saying I was lying.

On tuesday 7/25/23 at around 11-1130am, I was harrassed and assaulted by an employee I had not met as i am familiar with the staff there. He first asked if I was going to buy anything. He told me I was taking too long in the fridge and needed to hurry up. Im shocked and asked him to please leave me alone. At this point I wasn't 100% sure he worked there so I continue to go back to looking at the drinks. He then started to hurl insults and pushed my hand to put the drink back, and yelling to get out. Mind you its a fridge filled with different kinds of energy drinks. Im looking at the caffeine amount on them so i can choose. As im reaching in the fridge he pushes my hand to prevent me from grabbing the drink. I then told him not to touch me. He got closer, i pushed him away, we began to shove and then a fight ensued. I felt unsafe as he continued to approach me leading us to the corner of the store, leading up to fight. These people are violent, discriminatory, and a bad representation of this company. I felt like I was treated poorly simply because of the preconceived notions and opinions based on my brown skin color. I am a black woman in a predominantly asian neighborhood and have experienced some microaggressive behavior. Additionally, i have never had to fight a man in my life and have never been involved with the police. My last fight was in grade school and im 31 now. I would never cause trouble at a business that I normally feel safe at. The irony is ive been going to this gas station for YEARS as i live down the street from this location. He was nasty and rude from the beginning. After the incident, I realized this employee was in fact THE OWNER/MANAGER. Ive been going to the gas station for a while and have always been friendly with everyone. My first time seeing this rudeness of a person.it goes south and im left with emotional as well as physical scars and bruises. I never thought this would happen to me just for going and looking at drinks.

On 07/03/2023, in the morning, between 8: 30 to 9: 00, I just came here to gas up the car. I forgot which # gas line. I remembered there was 2 gas line. There was a man who worked in the # 1 gas line. It seems that he was fixing something. So, my car was in the # 2 gas line. My car didn’t park close to him. My car and him had a certain distance. After gassing up the car, I was using my GPS to search something about 1 - 2 minutes. And, I noticed that there was no any person or any car was waiting for this line. Then, the man who worked at the # 1 gas line yelling so loudly to me, “ Why don’t you leave? You’re scared me. ”
Excuse me, Could I say who scared who? What’s wrong with this man? I just stop here for 1-2 minutes. I didn’t stop there 15-30 minutes. And, at that moment, no one or no car was waiting at this line. Most importantly, I’m a customer. I didn’t choose this specific time to come to scary this man on purpose. Besides, I truly remembered my car keep a long distance with him.
And, Don’t tell me that this man voices sound like that. If anyone at that time, I can say most of the people will say this man attitude was so BAD and so RUDE!
If this man was not happy at his job. It’s none of my business. I don’t care. And, I don’t say everyone has to be friendly and nice to other people. But looked at this man, what kind of this man at that time.
So CRAZY, so MEAN and so RUDE!
