Cigarettes at the Gas Station

A few weeks ago I saw a man at the Hess Mobile gas station in West Roxbury pumping gas with his car engine running while smoking a cigarette and talking on a cell phone.

It was the trifecta of terror!

Instead of confronting him, because he would have beaten me up, I told the gas station attendant about it.

She replied that they have an inbuilt sprinkler system that would handle it.

You would think that the attendant should actually handle it BEFORE the explosion.
