I stopped by Walmart with EA chargers to fill up after our day trip to the shore, and met 2 other happy Mach E owners also taking advantage of the free weekend. That was the good part. Just as I was unplugging my car a Tesla bro (complete with Tesla t-shirt) pulls into the stall next to me. I initially ignored him as he got out, figuring he would figure out that he was at a CCS only station and move. Instead he and his trophy girlfriend (who was clearly too young for him) start to leave without even attempting to plug in. The following three way conversation ensued; "JO" is the Tesla bro and "Bolt lady" is the lady on the other side of him who was charging her bolt.
Me: "Are just going to park there"?
JO: "I'll charge it when I come out"
Me: "You can't charge off that charger"
JO: "I have a J1772 adapter"
Me: "That's not going to work on that charger"
JO: "I'll only be a minute"
Me: "So then park in another spot there are tons of open spaces, you don't need to block a charger" (parking lot was 20% full)
Bolt Lady: "That parking spot is clearly marked for charging only. That's not a CHADEMO connector, so you can't even use it"
JO: "I know how these cars charge and I don't need you explaining it to me. and I don't need two of you yelling at me. Ask me nicely and I'll move it"
ME (biting my tongue): "Please move your car"
The Tesla bro then moved his car while the trophy girlfrend just turned her back to me and the nice bolt lady. I guess he figured we were too stupid to know what he was doing.
