(BG: We have a gas station attached to the store; while it is technically on store property it's separated from the parking lot by a wall. The only way for anyone over there to contact anyone in the store is by calling and hoping a manager picks up the phone))
I was told by a coworker that the closer at the gas station (K) got into an altercation with a customer on...it had to have happened Saturday after I left, because I saw K earlier that afternoon when she came on shift.
D told me that a guy at the gas station was dispensing gas into an unapproved container (probably a gallon water jug, I've witnessed that myself). K stepped out of the booth to tell him he couldn't do that (it's not clear if she warned him through the speaker first). The guy threw gas on her...D said that K "threw it back" (probably the empty container, K can be a bit of a hothead but I can't see her doing anything other than defending herself).
Police, ambulance and the fire department were called, it's not clear who called them or if the guy and his buddy got arrested, but not only did K press assault charges on him, he also pressed charges on her.
D told me that none of the managers lifted a finger until they "discovered" the cops had been called. K is suspended pending the investigation. Luckily there is prolific camera coverage of the gas station and all the pumps...I'd kinda like to see that video myself.
I've always been very leery of women working over there alone; there's no easy way to contact the store if something goes wrong.
