Stopped in this morning because my daughter was feeling sick. Greeted by who appeared to be the owner/manager who immediately said "Bathrooms are for customers." While I was waiting on my daughter I overheard this person rudely talking/ordering around a female employee. When my daughter was finished I was going to use the bathroom and he proceeded to tell me, in a thick Indian accent, I had to wait 30 seconds, couldnt I read the sign (along with at least 4 other hand written signs on the door) and that he learned English in India and what was on the sign is English. Needless to say I bit my lip, but not totally. That guy is a real jack wagon and I will never stop there. I will also share this story with anyone I can.

Never give this place your business. I stopped for gas here and filled up my tank. Afterwards, I went inside to use the bathroom and the manager told me to go somewhere else because "our restrooms are for customers only." I told him that I had just filled up my tank and he made me point at my car out the window. My friend was moving it away from the pump to let someone else fill up. When I came out of the bathroom, he began screaming at me, saying "You will NOT be able to buy gas from me! I know your nature! You are not a worthy customer!" and talked over me 4 times as I explained I had already bought a tank of gas. As I left, he went out to the pump to confirm that I had bought gas. I will never return to this place.

Worst gas station experience in years! The older Indian man( assumed owner) was extremely rude to me on my return from Winter Park. On 1/9/15 I stopped in to gas up, buy a subway sandwich and snacks. While waiting for the truck in front of me to pull up in order for me to get into the pump I parked behind him and started to clean my windshield. Within minutes of me doing so he came outside and started yelling at me to move. After explaining to him I was waiting for the truck in front of me to move so I can get to the pump he still proceeded to tell me to move. DO NOT PATRON THIS STORE. Go to the gas station in Dumont instead. They are courteous and have a much better selection of convenient store items.

We have been coming to this store for years. Yogi s gas station is a staple for our community. We are thankful for his dedication to our town! Note to someone coming here.... Restrooms are for customers, which when people just stop and use the facilities and dont read the signs or respect the rules, you are in the wrong not the store owner. People need to quit taking advantage of the rules and slandering the store online because they got caught breaking them. There is a public restroom across the street.

The store owner is one of the worst human beings Ive seen in a long time. Being a resident of empire, I have e witnessed him chase customers out of his store. Belittland scream and small children until they cry. One day he chased and older couple out because the wife couldnt wait to use the restroom to buy something. The elder woman ended up fouling herself. And her husband slipped on the ice all the while being screamed at by the angry Indian. Avoid at all cost. Im tired of his mistreatment of people.

As a resident of Empire, I was so happy when the gas station reopened not having to drive to Georgetown or Idaho Springs during heavy traffic or crummy weather. I have patronized this location hundreds of times and have always had a great experience. The addition of a liquor store, is a bonus for those needing some adult beverages for their adventures.

Kids needed to use the bathroom, the owner yelled at my pre school aged kids. Went across the street to Colorado Country for snacks and drinks instead, and they didnt make you purchase anything to use their bathroom, we made a purchase their to make a point. Took everything I had to not punch him in the face for yelling at a small child.

People need to learn better custumer service and how to talk and treat others better. They should just say " Bathrooms are for paying customers only please" and " If you need a public restroom there is one across the street for your convenience" in a nice friendly manner. Just a friendly tip so you dont go out of business.

I dont know how this place is even still open. My girlfriend had to use the bathroom and told the owner she was going to purchase water and Gatorade. The owner was very rude and threw his arms up and tried to make her pay first before using bathroom. This is the worst gas station Ive ever been to. Avoid!!

Extremely unkind treatment by manager at this gas station. Filled up entire tank at pump, then was shouted at repeatedly and loudly by owner when tried to use the restroom. It may be the only gas station for miles, but I will plan ahead to avoid getting gas here in the future.

Very bad I have been needing to use the restroom since Kansas I am a fifteen year old and a large indian man scolded me that I didnt wait 30 seconds to use the bathroom he showed me the four signs and kicked me out even though I bought something

I try to support small city businesses but not this place. Will never walk into this gas station again. Rudest and most arrogant owner I have ever run across. Save yourself some trouble and get your gas in winter park or granby.

Worst gas station experience anywhere, stop anywhere else if possible. Cashier was extremely rude to all customers, and facilities were incredibly run down. Stop somewhere that actually appreciates your business.

Told the owner I was using the restroom and buying something. He denied me from purchasing anything cause i said i was using the bathroom first... what a scumbag.

The owner and employees at this convenient store are very courteous. This is a great place to stop before heading up the mountain for your adventure.

Awesome service. Lots of variety in the Convenience Store and Hot subway inside the gas station makes it the best.

Sloan Sparger
