2-Rays Mart

Yesterday I made my usual stop at 2 Rays Mart to get gas. Had to go in and get my receipts because the pumps are always out of paper. I attempted to cash out two of my scratchers that hit for some small change. One was a ticket and the other was like $12. When I presented them to the clerk, he gave me a look as if he didn't want to be bothered. He told me to scratch the coating off of the codes so he could scan them. I thought that was strange. Other gas stations always do it for me, then scan. Against my better judgement, I did it anyway and passed the scratchers to him only to be told that one had already been paid out. I said oh no that's not true. I had just disclosed the codes for him to scan while standing in front of him. You can't even pay out a scratcher without disclosing the code. He said "sorry there is nothing I can do." Of course I confronted him about not paying me the little $10 and he began yelling at me in front of the other customers. I did not appreciate that at all. Well needless to say after being cheated out of my ticket I will not be returning to this establishment. After spending thousands of dollars over time at this gas station, this clerk chose to cancel a loyal customer over $10. I've shared this incident with my family and friends and told them don't risk being taken advantage of. It's not about the $10. It's about the principle. There is no way that ticket could have been paid out without the scan code. Terribly Disappointed!

I am no one. A few years back I drove down a street I rarely travel... I stopped at this little store 2 grab a sprite. When I went Nside the young guy employed smiled & welcomed me👍since I had never been here I took a minute to look around & see what they had in stock. It's small & full of everything! So you'll never believe it... they carry the fruit flavored tootsie rolls😁😊I was super excited because I assumed no one sold them anymore. Fast forward a bit... I was looking at the news & the story was about this store. There was a murder. The story said that a horrible person followed the store owner home & he was killed. It hurt me so bad😲😭 I believe the store owner & his family are from some part of Africa. So I'd love 2 send my most sincerest condolences 2 him & his loved ones. I am sure he is super missed by his family. Today I was on this road & stopped N 2 get my fruit flavored tootsie rolls. It was wonderful 2 see that the store is still open! I have comfort places. This store is one of them because when I feel weird... & it is pretty often... They sell alot of the penny candy I remember eating as a kid. So... I'll sit somewhere alone... Have a moment of reflection on my traumatic childhood... Shed a few tears... & enjoy being the me that I see N the mirror at this present time! Thank you for your time & reading this review! Enjoy your day people!
