Esso Dufferin & Steeles

I filled up. I looked for a squeegee. There were none. Not a single squeegee in any of the islands. I asked the person in the booth to put some squeegees out in the islands. It’s the start of the winter driving season. This is a major station along the way to the 401 and 407 highways. It’s there to serve motoring needs.
Booth guy: We’re sold out.
Me: I don’t want to buy a squeegee. You should put squeegees out in the islands.
Booth guy: We’re sold out.
Me: You have none to put out?
Booth guy: We’re sold out.
It became clear Esso’s training program is somewhat limited and asking an Esso booth guy for basic motoring supplies was akin to asking him to make the executive decision to give away unicorns for all fill ups over 25 liters.
For north of $ 1.25 a liter you’d expect more.
