These Are Your Worst Gas Station Experiences - Jalopnik

Jalopnik compiled reader submissions about what it says are the worst gas station experiences, showing how much more than fuel people associate with a stop. Readers described problems ranging from incompetent employees and reckless owners to incidents involving alleged contamination, unsafe food and alleged credit-card skimming. One account focused on eating a gas station apple that later led to severe illness, described as norovirus or similar, after the fruit had been handled by other customers. Another story involved a motorcycle crash with roadkill that led to a chaotic scene inside a station. The article also includes a tale of an attendant refusing a $20 bill as counterfeit and calling police, before the officer determined it was not.
