[Who dat?]

Houstonians are already calling into Conoco demanding the oil company take the franchise away from the man who did this to our military.

Conoco may not be able to do a whole lot.

Generally a station will either be company owned or branded. The company owned station (usually the larger, open 24/7, high volume, mini-mart/car wash, carry all fuel grades and diesel) is usually leased to the operator. They can’t do much until the lease expires, usually.

If it’s a branded station (usually the smaller, non-24/7, mom/pop type stations) about the only thing they can do is pull the signs. They’d probably have to wait until the contract expired to do that too.

But doesn't the company have ultimate control over who works at these stations? Seems this hourly worker might even have a shady past himself that warrants investigation just like the convenience store worker in Chicago.
