Happened to me one time at the regular gas pumps. I NEEDED to get gas or I would have moved on to another station. Unfortunately gas stations don't care about RVers needs to maneuver their rigs and I rarely find a station with the pumps parallel to the building or even a dedicated RV pump away from the main ones so they kind of create the issue themselves.
Like others have said, I maneuvered to pull into an end pump where someone was just finishing up. They went inside to the fast food restaurant and I watched them sit down inside and start eating. I had left a gap to let cars go by in front of me to get out of the parking lot but after waiting about 5 minutes I pulled forward and blocked off the entrance/exit on that side...now people had to go around to the far side of the station to the only other driveway in and out......soon the attendant came out and asked if I would move out of the way so I just told her to go find the guy inside eating lunch who owns the car blocking the pump I need and I will be happy to move FORWARD. The guy showed up shortly after that and got to the back of his car and turned and glared at me....I waved and smiled at him while he just stood there for a minute glaring at me. I just stared back at him and he finally got in his car and left.
