Meet Oscar. He is the janitor for the Shell on Century Blvd at the LAX airport here in Los Angeles. This whole altercation started after I asked to use the bathroom on Monday, October 2nd 2023 at 6:20pm. Oscar began screaming at me in Spanish as I approached the bathroom door. I said I don't speak Spanish that well sorry. He then points at a trash can behind me and says, "key." I replied, "oh....okay the key for the restroom...thanks". So I go and pick up the bathroom key from the dirty trash can and he continues to mumble under his breath. I brush it off, use the restroom and leave. I ask him if I need to give him the key or to the attendant inside. (It's an outside restroom) He takes it and says, "Next time...(and then the rest is indistinguishable)". So naturally I turn around and say, "I'm sorry I didn't hear you?" He waves me off with his hands and says nothing. So I'm like wtf is this dudes problem? I get into my car and drive away, and out of the corner of my eye I see him CHASING my car down, mop in hand. This guy crosses 4 busy lanes of LA traffic and starts screaming at me! He hits my car with his mop and comes around to the driver side window where there is a concrete median and starts screaming at me that I peed on floor! I'm like what are you talking about you lunatic!? This guy is obviously not in his right state of mind and is completely unfit to even be employed. He runs back to the gas station, and I'm like OH HELL NO. So I make a U turn and go right back to the gas station and ask for the manager. I tell her what happened and let her know he hit my car with his mop, chased me down, and is screaming at me in the middle of the street! Like are you trying to be killed or cause an accident! She apologizes and says, "come on let's go figure this out he shouldn't be acting like this towards customers." Ummm....obviously. So we go outside where they start speaking in Spanish and after a minute or few the lady says, "It's okay sir everything is fine." I was like IT'S FINE? I was like did you not hear what I just told you? This is assault!? At this point this guy starts screaming at me and getting in my face. You guys, literally inches from my face. I'm like starting to shake like a kid! I've never had this type of situation transpire ever! This poor woman is trying to PULL HIM BACK FROM ME and I'm like this is absolutely ridiculous! He is saying he's going to physically assault me, calls me a faggot, and that I need to check the cameras. Like MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. I get in my car and am trying to call the Shell Corporate number and this dude surrounds my car! He starts taking his shirt off and surrounds my vehicle like some sort of wild animal and I'm like wtf is going on today! So all I ask is you share this so they listen. I'm not sure weather or not to file a police report or call a lawyer! Customer service was a complete joke and just kept saying it's independently owned. All I know is, don't go to this gas station. Take a look at this crazy person.
