  I well never stop there again after what the staff did to me almost 2wks ago! Was up the night before & didnt get much sleep had to be in Wytheville, Va at 8:30 for an appt. Didn't leave there till after 3pm an was completely wore out really sleepy but had to get home. By the time I got to the Ghent, WV exit 28 on I-77. I was falling asleep at the wheel. So I pull in to MARATHON GAS STATION station. Around 5:30pm into 1 of there parkin spaces an I fall asleep. Which was off to the side of there business in front. Figured I be safe there. Well around 7:30 I was rudely woken up by a EMT from the local FD. Sayin they got a call from the manager of the MARATHON GAS STATION saying there's a person unresponsive in a vehicle!! Which was funny cause "NO 1" from the MARATHON STATION ever came out & knocked on my vehicle window to see if I was alright. To me they(staff & manager) call 911 an made a bogus an false report. Cause they never walked out to my vehicle to see why I was there. Well by me getting woke by the EMT it cause a REALLY BIG SCENE(the other customers had to stop an stare & gawk at me which I never been so embarrassed in my life) at station cause they made me get out of my truck cause they didn't believe my story of being sleepy & almost cause an accident on I-77 I almost ran into the back of a semi-trailer twice which more than likely would of kill me an my be sum1 else. Well the EMT that woke me up & his co-worker was really rude to me which I felt they was completely unprofessional. Even though I still felt that I wasnt completely able to drive yet. They told me that I had to leave the premises. Which they said came from the MANAGER OF THE MARATHON GAS STATION!! So I said FINE I'LL LEAVE(in hateful tone) I guess you just want to see me go back on the interstate (I-77) an cause I huge accident an maybe in up killing myself & other drivers cause I wasn't fully competent to drive yet!!! I told them I figure they was completely bored & lazy at the their station(FD) an wanted an needed sumthing else to do!! Well I got back on I-77 paid my toll. An I was right I was still groggy an almost caused a cpl accidents frim my poor driving abilities so I got back off I-77 a cpl exits further up the road an this time pulled into "GO MART" gas station an went inside to use the rest-room. An asked the attendant is it okay if I could stay in their lot to rest up. Told them my ordeal at the MARATHON GAS STATION off of exit28. Which surprised them & basically they just...STH... The staff/attendance at "GO MART" which to me was alot more understanding & friendly than the STAFF at the "MARATHON GAS STATION" off of ext28 in GHENT, WV.... I'LL NEVER STOP AT THAT STATION EVER AGAIN... which I usually have done in the past, but that was the morning staff an they are alot more PROFESSIONAL FRIENDLY...
