Went there during the panic buying of May 2021 following the Colonial Pipeline Hack. One morning, as soon as a tanker had finished resupplying the station, a huge line of cars formed on Franconia Rd to buy some gas. The owner was out on foot, dashing around, waving in cars one at a time, directing drivers to open pumps by flashing his fingers (ex. 7 fingers for Pump 7), answering questions and helping customers, and keeping the whole packed place running smoothly, happily, and fairly. One car tried to cheat and cut the whole line and the owner stood in the open pump that the driver tried to pull into, blocked him, shook his head and gestured for him to beat it. I tried to give him a cash tip, but he refused. Very admirable service that deserves to be called out.
