Comments

AWOS was 1/2 function. Couldn't hear wind or density alt, critical on hot-humid summer day w/scattered convective.

"Self-serve", but an employee watched/crowded the process, basically looked over my shoulder while filling; distracted into too much fuel in one tank; close to max takeoff weight w/o cushion.

Hungry, asked if anything to eat: "No".

2 other people on bench outside office, unfriendly and sarcastic.

No trashcan outside. OK, but the office was open & we had a few little things we wanted to dispose of due to weight etc; handlebar (?) mustache guy tells them, "you fly it in, you fly it out", like backpacking. When I heard that & peeked in, handlebar says (laughing sarcastically) "just throw it on the floor". I didn't do that, but on looking in I noticed what looked a lot like snacks, coffee... We left.

Never seen anything like it in 31yrs/1500hrs of flying to many small fields.

Night had fallen early due to the the winter solstice.  Found the fuel and filled up.  Lights were off, but I checked the doors and found that there were people attending the FBO.  I think they were closing up for the day, but I found them reasonably friendly. Clean restroom and comfortable facility.

Gruff, offered water. Asked me where I was flying to. I said Seattle and that lit the crazy fuse. The two behind the desk decided to tell me that I must clearly be a Dem. Got to hear some conspiracy theorys. A bit of racism and bigotry. I feel bad for them, I hope they get the dental care it looks like they desperately needed. Zero stars.
