BP Gas Station in Flossmore, IL

 I pulled into this gas station last night at about 22:30 and I was the only car in the lot. As I looked across the way at the Speedway on the other side of Crawford, the Speedway was busy and things were happening there as much as can happen at a gas station. After purchasing gas I made my way inside to use the restroom. I passed the station attendant as I went inside and he followed behind me after taking a smoke break. He saw me head towards the restroom as he headed back to the counter. I approached the Men's room door and grabbed the handle to find it locked, therefore I stepped back to wait for it to become free. After about 5 minutes of waiting, I then tried the handle again to be sure that it was actually locked and perhaps I just didn't turn the handle hard enough. It was locked so I then decided to try the Women's restroom. That too was locked. At that point I realized that these doors were probably locked on purpose. I went to the counter to ask for a key because sometimes stations require you to get a key which cuts down on having it open to anyone that strays into the gas station. I approached the attendant and asked for the key to the Men's room. His response was "They are locked." I said, "ok, can I use it?" He said, "Sorry, the manager said I have to keep it locked for everyone." I said, "Well I am a paying customer." He said, "My said no one." Needless to say I was pretty agitated at that point. At this point I walked out without regard for what he may have been saying on my way out. I still had to use the restroom and also planned on getting a snack while I was there. Thats when I followed the crowd and went over to the Speedway across the street. I will give my more positive review of this Speedway on their map location.
