Its The Inside What Matters
Yes the pumpage is slow as frack here and I havent used the quick carwash either. Quality Gas? I don't know, I haven't "tasted" it viscosity, but I do know that late at night it gets kinda sketchy by the air and vaccuum station tho, it needs to be more lit. Homeless people outside too last few times I came here and this station being next to to a church and a bar has me somewhat befuddled. Its strategically located between 2 valleys, so this is your last stop until you get to the "other side" whether it be north to Wahiawa or south to Waipio.
Its also one of the few gas stations late at night where it stays open inside, and not locked like some places where you gotta have a awkward transaction sliding a drawer back and forth with a cashier. So what about the inside? Shouldnt whats on the inside matter? Lol. In quoting yelper (Rachie P), "I dont know why I come here either."
There is a nice coffee machine thing, ice cream, even a self serve Dunkin Donuts. Here in Hawaii, like fast food places also, convenience stores carry local snacks like saimin, sushi, bentos, and Spam musubis (let the oohs and eeews commence). I don't usually get these for my nephews here unless im in a full Hangry mode or out of options because most times they have been sitting there too long and have become hockey puck hard.
How the heck 4 stars then? For me this is just one of the places where you know what you want and you can get it fast, and its in stock. Its convenient no questions asked lol. The employees do a decent job in moving the line (most times), and when you go there frequent enough, they already know what you're going to get.
Everyone has one of these places where you're in and out and you came for what you needed. Is it the inside what counts? This one for me is. 5 stars for inside, 3 stars for the outside, combining for a nice 4 star "Filling" experience! read more
