Quick Stop

I was told to leave so they could stock the shelves. I was playing a quarter machine at the time.

At approximately 5:30 p.m. on Sunday August 24th I entered the Quick Stop on US 19 New Port Richey Florida and begin to play a quarter machine they have 4 Fun people can play after buying and spending approximately $15 inside the store. After being refused quarters by the person behind the desk I went to my hotel which is right next door to the business to get quarters for the game. A short amount of time later I returned to the business with quarters in hand to play I played until cash was pushed all the way up to the edge of the machine. At which time I went to get more quarters and return to the store. As I began to play the machine again I was told that the person behind the desk that I can no longer play because he had to stock shelves. When I asked for a corporate number I was told that they do not have one so I proceeded to continue to play the game at which time the man behind the counter got extremely rude and irate with me and unplugged the machine after I put my money in it. After I asked for a manager's number I was told that there is no manager and I asked why I was being told I had to leave the store and the response I got from the cashier was that I was not buying anything. I had previously, when I first came to the store but almost $20 worth of items and the game is inside the store for customer yes. His reason for wanting to close the store while I was already in there playing was that he had to stock the shelves and he couldn't do that with me inside the store. He went and unplugged the machine with my money in it. I want this man fired, he clearly does not know how to run a store if he can stock shelves while someone is in the store.
