Yup; if any dude put anything on my bike, it's "Houston, we have a problem"!
"You toucha my bike I smasha you face" I've gone to othe gas stations just to avoid those people. I probably would have filed a police report for vandalism if they touched my vehicle. Might seem over the top but if it eats the paint have fun explaining to the insurance company why they should pay for it to be fixed.
Can we make a list of the gas stations that have been known to "allow" sales of cleaning supplies?
- Mobil in Windsor, CT (off of Exit 38, I-91)
- Mobil in Brookfield, CT
- Sunoco in Westport, CT
- One of the stations in Southington, CT (on Queen St.)
- Shell(?) in Wethersfield/Rocky Hill
It sounds like this practice might be a newly emerging trend. I'm even surprised that it's taking place in "high-brow towns" like Westport where the residents there would be outraged at such a practice.
I have yet to encounter it myself, but I'm always sketched out by these kind of things (especially at gas stations). Perhaps we can make people more aware about it and make the gas station owners KNOW that it is unwelcoming for patrons?

They hit me up at the Mobil in Glastonbury near the Whole Foods.
It happened to my husband and I when we were driving our brand new car, less than a week old. He was about to punch the dude whe he tried to spray it on the car!
These guys are back at the Mobil gas station @ exit 38 off I-91 in Windsor. I also saw them last week on Friday 11-16 at the Mobil gas station @ exit 37 off I-91 in Windsor.
These guys are silly since annoying your (potential) customers is no way to sell a product. They should be at car shows, flea markets, etc. hawking this stuff.
Just to clarify the guys only got close enough to my bike to demonstrate the product since I thought they were Mobil employees. I have seen gas station employees do stuff like clean windows before at no charge. I suppose in an effort to build goodwill.

Gas station employees cleaning your windshield? I have not seen that since the 70's. Jay
