Gas at Martin’s… I heard back from my comment to Giant’s corporate office.
June 6, 2006, 2:31 PM
I recently put in a comment with Martin’s (a division of Giant Food of Carlisle, Pennsylvania) through their Web site regarding the gas station out front. Currently, it’s not available overnight – only until 10 PM. And considering all the late hours I’ve been working lately at Wally World, late-night gas from Martin’s would be quite handy. And I pay with my debit card, so it’s not like I’d need the attendant there.
My suggestion was to have the gas station open 24 hours, even if overnight is cards-only. Here’s what I got back:
Dear Mr. Schumin,
Thank you for contacting us regarding our store in Waynesboro. We do appreciate your comments and feedback.
I have followed up with our Gasoline Department and was informed that they will take your suggestion into consideration, however, at this time, there are no immediate plans to change to a 24-hour operation at the gas station in Waynesboro.
We value your business and look forward to continuing to serve your shopping needs.

So there you go. Maybe something will come of it. Anyone else in Waynesboro who thinks Martin’s should keep its gas pumps running all night should also consider dropping them a line (hint, hint).
