For those who may not know you can't pump your own gas in Oregon. You have to let a station attendant do it. Knowing from previous travel through Oregon that there were a lot of Shell stations in Oregon and along the coast I enrolled in the Fuel Rewards program heavily promoted at Shell stations in Salt Lake City and purchased a few prepaid Shell cards.
Upon arriving in The Dalles Oregon I stopped to fill at this station. Even before a standard greeting or welcome and upon handing my rewards card and Shell branded prepaid card, the attendant (name unknown) launched in a tirade about not accepting FPN. I then asked him what he was talking about the cards have the Shell logo, you don't accept Shell cards for payment? and he scoffed "No, the other one". After then determining that he meant the 'FRN' card, I withdrew the rewards card and extended my hand with the prepaid card and asked him to please fill the tank. He then said "do you have a problem with that" to which I replied that "I do, I enrolled to receive the discounts offered". He then told me to "go then".
As I am taking pictures for my Yelp review he jumps in front of me screaming "take my picture, take my picture" and "I am going to take a picture of your RV and license tag".
Note; I did not ask him to take my picture nor did I give him my permission!
This attendant is of the rudest people I have encountered in our travels to Oregon in the many years we have vacationed here. I highly advise that you choose another fuel provider in The Dalles who wants your business and isn't abusive. read more
