A gas station in Pennsylvania was closed this week after its only employee walked off the job.

The GetGo convenience store in Moon Township, which is 15 miles west of Pittsburgh, was unstaffed for about an hour on Tuesday.
The worker left a note saying that the people of Moon Township treat their employees badly. They ran off the staff.
"The Great Resignation" and the future of the workplace are related.
The GetGo store was closed after a team member had a bad experience with a guest. A handwritten sign was posted in a store window that made false claims about treatment.
In a statement to Pittsburgh City Paper, GetGo said, "This regrettable sign in no way reflects the appreciation our company and the dedicated Moon Township store team have for those we serve."
"The Team Member remains with the company and we are working with her to learn as much as possible about the situation and to offer any support needed," another GetGo spokesman, Dan Donovan, told Insider.
A larger pattern of workers leaving their jobs and getting fed up with issues like low wages and rude customers can be seen in the incident. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said last week that there were a record 4.4 million Americans who quit their jobs in September.
