I have been assaulted at the gas station by Exxon employee. 

They were replacing a battery in my car. When I came to pick it up, we
had a disagreement about the price. The quote they originally gave me
was a third of what they were charging me. These 4 Exxon guys were
pretty much yelling at me the whole time I was there and pointing
fingers at my face. The highlight of the incident took place when one
of them decided to replace my new battery with my original battery. So
he decided to take it upon himself to get the keys from me regardless
my consent. He tried to grab them, pull my arm, push me. After all
unsuccessful (through all this time I was feeling like its not
happening - this is a place of business!), he tried to intimidate me
by standing 2 inches away from me and yelling at me and all this time
trying to get the keys from me. My boyfriend got between us and was
telling him to calm down.

At that point I walked out and called the police. I filed a police report.

What is my best course of action? Its not about the price that they
charged me. Its about the laws that are protecting everyone from being
assaulted especially in the place of business. He was completely
outside the line and I want to take action. He needs to be responsible
for his actions. Since he works for Exxon, I was expecting a certain
level of customer service.

Thank you!

Well your best bet is to contact legal support. If the employee
assulted you as you say. It would make you case stonger agaisnt him if
you had a eye witness. I don't know of any links to obtain this free
advice but if you call around in your area there may be a legal aid or
something of the sort. If you don't want to choose this way you could
contact the better buisness Bureau at http://www.bbb.org/ And report
them for there misconduct. You may also contact the indaviduals
suppior and talk to them and explain eveything. Words of advice though
if you do decid to contact his employer, remain calm don't use a
threatining voice, be as polite as possible. Becuse if the employer
would be willing to help you come to a happy ending to this, well
keeping a cool head would be the way.

The gas station is likely franchised or the name is licensed and the
guy does not work for Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Obviously, see an attorney right away.  I know you kept a copy of the
police report, right?  Your boyfriend is a witness, if you had any
more, that would be great.  The police enforce the laws against
criminal assualt.  If you feel that you have been harmed and are due
monetary damages, then you should begin to build a civil case to prove
the extent of your harm.  If you have any physical injury, seek
medical care right away, or if you have any bruises from being pushed,
take pictures of them.  Mostly it sounds like the harm is emotional.
You may wish to see a counselor.  These visits would help document
your emotional harm.

Of course, this is not legal advice, just my personal opinion.  See an
licensed atty asap.  Best wishes.
