O/T What is wrong with people??????
 

I live in Topeka, KS. I work caddy corner to this Conoco station and check this out.
I was listening to 94.5 this morning and a listener called in and her daughter who is in the ROTC program at school and went into the Conoco at 29& Gage for a pop. The man behind the counter refused to serve her because she was in a military uniform. When she walked out of the door her called her a stupid America *****. Two other listeners called and asked the store if they refuse to serve people in military uniform a female clerk who was there by herself said they do not serve people in military uniform. When they asked why she didn't have an answer. About one week ago a guy in a military uniform filled his car with gas and went in to pay and they refused to serve him and wouldn't let him pay for the gas. After that guy heard today's listener's he went into the Conoco and bought a cup of coffee buy this time there was a male clerk there and he asked him if he was going to refuse to serve him because he had on a military uniform. The guy very angrily said no he never said that. The one in the uniform said he didn't believe him and wanted a refund for his coffee.
The manager at Conoco said the ROTC girl must have had the wrong location and he would like to talk with her. He said he doesn't want to loose any business and it must have just been a misunderstanding!
I have also had a run in with this place about not honoring posted sale prices in their own store.
For those of you that do not know, Topeka is the capital of Kansas. Forbes Field is located here. We have a lot of Military people here all the time. The Air National Guard is there.
Also, when 9/11 happened this Conoco sataion was one of the first here in Topeka to up the gas prices to $5.00 a gallon. They were quickly told to lower them or they will be fined $5000.00 and refund all gas purchases. This is an outrage!
The local news has been parked there all morning. I would not be surpised if it does not make national news by this evening.

:mad:

I too heard that this am on the way into work, only caught the last bit of it. I hope that if this is correct and the correct location that the place goes out of business tomorrow:mad:

Are the management/employees middle eastern????

It's a gas station, right? This was a rhetorical question, correct? ;)

Around these parts, there are laws stating that all convenience stores and gas stations must be owned by foreigners.

I really don't understand. It is really sad. They came to this country to be free, to be Americans, and they pull stuff like this. Makes me really wonder why they came here in the first place. This hits a little to close to home for me, right out side my office window.

WTF???
Is this guy stupid or what?
Maybe I should ask what nationality he is? Obviously not an American.
With the local press broadcasting, Conoco Corp. will get involved real quick. Maybe even have a change in management.
Keep us posted.

Yes, all of the employees are middle eastern.

Boatless-
Walk on over there and tell them to GET!! :mad: :mad:

I sure will. One of my co workers copied my message into a consumer response page for Conoco.

The guy behind the counter called an American Service Woman a stupid America ***** !!

Oh Man this Scumbag needs Some attention ! Problem is they have let too Much Rubbish into this Country.

Time to clean the House !:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

WELL I TELL YOU WHAT, THIS COWGIRL IS PISSED OFF-sorry-BUT I AM.

:D :D ;)

I wish I would have been there for that incident.
But remember, the Clintons discouraged persons in military uniform from entering the white house when he took office.
You know what that means. Bill should have been running a gas station instead of the country.

How bout a nice big banner to advertise that said business is "Anti American". That should put them out of business pretty quick. That way both customers and suppliers would be aware of their stance.

Did you ever put a pair of those pantyhose that come in an egg in the microwave and set it for like 15 minutes. Man does that stink ;)

Gas is explosive right. Make sure the owner is there and oops, sorry about my cig falling down the tank vent.;)

To tell you truth, Topeka is known for HATE.
The Reverend Fred Phelps lives and has his compound here in Topeka. Our office is moving soon and less than a mile from his compound. GREAT!!!!!

Let's go over there and get this over with !!:mad::mad: .

I mean, look......THEIR ASKING FOR IT !!!!!!

Boatless-
That just infuriates the hell out of me! Makes we want to quit doing business with Conoco. Thanks for the report.

I wonder if these people are here on Visas or are they US citizens, NOT! Man, the FBI needs to look into WHO these UN-AMERICAN *******S truly are? I wonder where their monthly profits are going??
We need to send the OSO bat to Kansas!

I am sure as the Day goes on and word of this SPREADS a little, Things will get very interesting down at the Gas Station!

The Country has never been the same since that Traitor Clinton and the rest of that Rats Nest was in Power.
:mad:

I go out of my way not to buy from stores owned by middle eastern people.

I wish I lived closer. I am on the other side of the state. I think it would be fair to assume that if someone advertised in the paper for donations for aplane ticket to send these a**holes home, the response would be overwhelming!! I know I would donate to the cause!!

I tell you what I should do is walk over there with my camera and take a picture of the place and show everyone where not to go. I really should. I have my digital with me here at work today.

By the way: If they still have the races next May, put up a sign declaring their anti-american status. They won't sell sh*t.

A co worker just got back from lunch and said when she left there were people over there with American Flags and signs that read God Bless America. They seem to be gone now. That would have been a good photo op. DANG! Hold on I am going to check the local news paper online.........

DO IT!!!!! There are going to be TONS of military people here this weekend. The Freedom Family Day is going on at Forbes and an air show. The air show features the United States Airforce Thunderbirds, the U.S. Army Golden Knights, and the Canadian Airforce Snowbirds. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

All that place needs is a running gas pump and a road flare. End of discussion. :mad:

Look familiar???????

I just got back from lunch and I got this from the Conoco......I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!

I really dislike double standards...

If this was turned about and a non-minority owned store refused to serve someone of middle eastern descent , they would get some liberal minded lawyer , call the news and the press would plaster this all over the front page .

I'm sure this would be presented as "racial profiling" , "discrimination"....or some other happy horse####.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Probably result in a lawsuit and some settlement for $$$$$.

Makes me sick !

You and me both.

Stores, motels, hotels, etc.

I just turn and walk out.

Same here! Wes Smith, great point! You know it would!!:mad:
Those bastards can cry foul pretty loud, but then they turn around and shovel the same ****, it's okay!I don't think so!:mad:

I did a little searching around on the 'net and couldn't find anything about this in the Topeka paper or the local NBC station - you think that would be the case if a white store owner told an Arab "Get out you stupid camel jockey!"

Hmmm, no hypocrisy there... :rolleyes:

My point exactly , Dock.....

Wes
That's it thats the joke !
We have to play by the rules while THEY (anti American Interlopers) do not. :mad:

I do the same
i know every store in my area and who the owners are
these scumbags aren't getting my hard earned money

Russ

I guess I was sleeping when this all got turned upside down...

I wonder how we would be treated if we moved to the mideast , opened a retail establishment and then insulted the populace , ESPECIALLY the military !!

Can you say , "disappear " ?

You know I really do not understand, yes, dockrocker, I have checked the newspaper and the news online and there is nothing. Not a thing. It's like it never happened or it was just swept under the rug like everything else. I don't think I am crazy, it happened, 283Check even heard it on the radio. Hummmmm....
:confused:

I'm sure it will be on the local news tonight, I don't get the topeka stations but I'll check with my dad later and see if he heard anything on it...... I'm sure that the business of this store will suffer !!!

Hey hey hey ... you guys are getting all riled up over a story from a teenage high-school girl on a pop radio station ????

Wait until some facts come out before you send in the lynch mob

Don't believe EVERYTHING you hear on the radio or TV.
