He shared his experience, saying, “On Tuesday, I met a guy called SAM who works at Engine Garage Empire Rd. We chatted, and I wondered what it would be like to be a petrol attendant for a day. I asked him, and he said YES without hesitation. @CasswellP pulled up with his Vclass Merc, and I got to work. A big shoutout to SAM for being an unsung hero, a young man working hard for his family.”
