I'm about a half a mile away and my car starts to stutter, so i throw it in neutral ,and use the last bit of umph to get it up one last hill, shortly after it dies out. I happen to have enough momentum to coast into the Wawa parking lot, and pull over where large trucks do.

So I begin to push to the pump, but once again they have a small incline, and I'm about 30 feet away and almost at a stop when a gas station attendant finally came over and helped ( there was 3 cars and the person that came over was talking to another attendant at the time, I was watching.) The problem is I get Vinnie the Loud mouth as my attendant, and he begins to tell me to prime the system and yadda yadda, and throws a couple jokes in there. So we get done, I go to grab the money I had in the car to give the kid a couple bucks, but the envelop I had it in was in the back seat. I guess he thought I was going to put my seatbelt back on, and he comes up to my window, and tells me I should go give that kid a couple bucks for helping me out. How dare you tell me who to pay for and what, that's what pisses me off. I'm not a prick, I am thankful he helped, and I tipped him, but don't tell me what to do with my money, I thought that was ****ing rude.

I'm not going back there for a while, and probably will send a complaint to Wawa ( although I didn't get his name, I'm not going to name names, just Wawa HQ will send a memo and they will let the workers know during a store meeting.) But should I be pissed some worker is telling me to tip someone else for helping me push my car?

I agree with you. Last I checked they are "full serve" gas stations in NJ, not just "we pump for you". So if you ask them to check the oil, etc (not that you would) they should do so as part of their job. Pushing you in could fall under that.

He definetly should have gotten a tip, but doing so is completely at your discretion either way.
