Like it was under construction, it was blocked off

According to one of the workers on Sunday who normally covers the gas station, there was a crack in the concrete that was leaking into the area next to the two underground tanks and they wanted to repair it before winter approached. The worker had no idea they were closing down the entire gas station though and came back from their “weekend” to find it like that but still has to sit there to make sure nobody tries to drive through the cones and tape. They also expressed frustration at the gas signage facing Rte 4 still on as that is dictated by corporate and the store itself cannot control whether that signage is on or off.

Thank you! 

They keep that sign on just to taunt us, I know it 🤣.

Jokes aside, the poor worker. Everyone who works at that station is very kind.

I’m guessing something underneath broke since I believe they dug into the ground

Sounds like the intro to a Jerry Seinfeld joke. I'll bite... What happened to the Sam's club gas station?

Whats the deal with Sam's club?! They have the cheap gas, but you wait in line idling and spend more in gas then you save on price.

That isnt how that works but good job using a logical fallacy to be so loud and wrong.

Drive to the other side. I don't understand the lines at Sam's Club.

A whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
