My card was hacked at this store! I used it here to buy a coffee and a Dr Pepper a few days later I got a random charge for three cents and then they charged my card for over $30. I'm so annoyed. Be careful using your card at places like this! Use Apple Pay or cash something that can't be traced back. Don't put your card in this machine! I know it was here because it was the only place I used my card in the whole week. read more

I've been a regular for a couple of months in the early mornings. Great customer service FROM MOST of the employees EXCEPT for one employee - in the early morning (5am) for the white guy with long hair and a beard. He's incompetent, and rude and shouldn't be working in customer service, ESPECIALLY that he's handling cash!!! FIRE this guy, AMPM! PLEASE check your cameras here. His behavior is obvious and rude and concerning!!! I'll probably go to 7-Eleven if I see him. It's just down by the next light. By the freeway. He's got an unpleasant /unfriendly attitude and the two times I've handed him cash in recent weeks, he's closed the register or entered the amount as I'm STILL grabbing coins from my pocket. I don't know any mind readers, but he seems to think he reads minds and knows how much I'm giving AND ALREADY entered it in the register. He's failed in giving me the correct change BOTH times. The first time, he gave me attitude like it was my fault that he didn't give the other dollar bills in owed change to me before he closed the drawer and he had me wait for the next paying cash customer.. no apology or acknowledgement of his error. A lady eventually paid with cash. Lucky me, I wasn't in a rush and that it was a few minutes as most people use cards! This morning 1/18/23 just after 5am, I gave him a $5 bill and a quarter (coin) for a $2.19 coffee (that's $2.81 change back IF I only gave a $5 BTW) and he gave me $2 and (with attitude like I said) he said, " [you owe] $0.81 [and the quarter is not enough]" as in "$2.81" as he took my quarter which would be my change IF I only gave a $5, but I wanted $3 and simpler change of 6 cents as balanced from my quarter. I told him that's how much (81 cents) change it would be for a $5 bill that he should give me back.. as it cost $2.18... Not $2.81.. BUT I didn't just give him $5... So his attitude was misplaced from HIS error. Is it too early to work for him? Is it that he's been partying late and doesn't like his early morning shift and taking it out on the customers?!? " It just takes one apple to ruin the bunch" , as the saying goes.. There are other AMPM locations as a nearby 7-Eleven... But how many customers will he drive away and cost this store repeat customers?!? I like the other employees and they are but maybe this AMPM isn't worth it because of this employee. So, he ONLY inputted $5 and NOT the correct amount of $5.25, which would be his 2nd failure in those mere seconds... The third failure he did was to grab randomly 3 quarters thinking he was doing me a favor that I got $2.75 as change back... Instead of my $3.06 and he immediately walked directly away to the back... Interaction over. WHAT THE HELL ?!?! CHECK OUT THE SECURITY FOOTAGE. How regularly is he mishandling cash transactions?!? This is a terrible reflection on the AMPM $the owner/operator. GUARANTEED - the register isn't balancing out during his shifts! Has he not worked this job (at the register) enough to know how much a coffee and the usual change is?!? Every employee I currently interact with does. Circle K is my other go to spot, and I and I just may go out of my way to get my food and drinks there from now on. (They're awesome at Circle K and I've talked with everyone in the early morning shift and they're super nice. They're off Broadway / National City Blvd, BTW. We've I've gone out of my way to get to this location compared to the other Circle Ks). It's annoying dealing with this incompetence of this AMPM employee. This is elementary grade calculations and MOST experienced cashiers I've dealt with over the past 30+ years can adjust with mental calculations on the fly if they entered something incorrectly. Is this a sign of the times for incompetence accompanied with rudeness? By the way, one morning he had customers locked out while he was doing something at the register. He was I knocked on the door.. No response. He didn't even bother looking and giving any sort of acknowledgement or sign that he be right there. I knocked on the window and he gave an annoyed look like I'm the mind reader. read more

I put gas in south county and north county. The gas here did not last on my vehicle it needs improvement. Do not pump gas here

Due to my nocturnal shenanigans, I frequent un chingo de ampm/Arcos - (un chingo = a shitload for you all you fine weras out there) - since they're usually the only place open. And I've ALWAYS been at LEAST mildly impressed with the overall vibe of the store...including but not limited to the cleanliness of the store, the selection of toxic but delicious energy drinks, and the attitude/customer service of the poor bastard that has to work the overnight shift at a gas station (been there, done that and believe you me, I'd rather watch a cat eat it's own shit for 8 hours.) However this time I was anything but impressed. The store floor was Filthy, and the two ladies there barely Spoke English and had the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I shrugged it off, thinking maybe their draws were too tight or bunched up and proceeded to attempt to buy my 3 monsters. The fridge advertised a deal; 3 monsters for $6. They didn't ring up that way at the register, and the lady didn't try to fix it at all. She was just like "you pay this price ($10+) or get out" So I left the cans on the counter and gtfo. I went to a nearby 711 and had a much better experience. read more

Gas is gas and when you're out of it you really can't be picky. This location is right off the freeway and is a bit cheaper than the Valero just down the street. I paid cash and had to wait I. Line for almost 10 minutes! Yikes... There are a dozen pumps and you half to walk a bit to the cashier... The restrooms were out of service and there was only one cashier! But then again, I was able to fill up and be on the road again. Thanks Arco. Top Tier Gas if you say so... read more

ampm - Feeling lucky!? - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is a hit or miss. Some employees here are great with great customer service... I've been coming here for a while since they're "24/7" service if you want to come for a great price of gas or just a mid night snack..... I usually come in early mornings from 2am-4am and I've noticed a pattern of this specific white guy employee who closes for his entire shift and ignores us at the door and avoids eye contact. If this am/pm isn't 24/7 please update it. Other employees always keep to their hours of being 24/7 no matter the time but this one specific employee always closes the door as says "he will return by 4:30am" other than that I always come for their amazing horchata and warm cookies. read more

ampm - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

I had to literally beg these two women for air. They told me I needed to purchase gas. I don't need gas!!!! I need air in my tire! I even offered to buy something. I don't even want to give me then 1 star read more

When you exit from either 805N or 805S this gas station is very convenient. I normally get gas here if I'm exiting from the 805- Very affordable gas prices and very affordable food deals inside the Am Pm. I dislike how they charge you $0.45 i think for using your debit card! Super lame but I guess someone has to pay for debit card fee's. read more

One of the cheaper gas stations in my area, so I find myself here whenever I'm coming up the 805 and need a fill up. I just wish getting back on the freeway was as easy as getting off and getting in to this Arco. Are the pumps slow or did I just read that in someone else's Yelp review and now I'm brainwashed? read more

Average Arco gas station. There is nothing great, but nothing terribly bad. I have gotten gas here a couple times and the prices are about average for the area. There is an extra fee if you want to use a debit or credit card but that now seems to be more common practice in Southern California. Don't get it but it is what it is. The pumps work fine and the gas seems good enough. I came in to get some laundry detergent when I was doing laundry next door, they only had one container. It was $10 for five loads, absolutely ridiculous, I couldn't pay it and went somewhere else. The convenience store has drinks, lottery tickets and all the basic stuff you expect to find and the place seemed fairly clean. read more

Cheap quality and cheap in price. We used to fill up here years ago, and it was shadyyyyyyy. We almost got assaulted by some stoners in the middle of the night, and there were no employees around or outside to regulate. Fortunately there was another guy filling up, keeping and eye on us. I hated how the only cards they take are debit cards, and they charge you $0.25 (maybe it's $0.50 now?), when you could fill up for the same price and use your credit card FOR FREE at the valero nearby. And the girls who worked inside were always chit-chatting with customers, even though there was a long line forming at the register. I'm so glad we fill up at Chevron now, and I pay a very similar price for better quality gas there. read more

Can I give zero stars? Such bad service and so many sketchy people hanging around. Extremely rude and unhelpful. I've had several times when it took me like twenty min to get gas here. read more

Pretty sure they're breaking law by not supplying free air and water. I come here almost every day and the one day I don't need to get gas they tell me I need to pay for air. So I pay for the air and the machine doesn't work. Will boycott from now on. read more

The gas prices are pretty average to prices around San Diego. The new pumps are nice and it's great you can pay at the pump again. The AM/PM pretty much sucks. It is usually dirt inside and the few times I have gotten drinks the soda machine wasn't cleaned so the soda tasted like mold. The cappuccino machine is awful. They reduce the amount of concentrate so all the drinks are watered down. Avoid any drink that is not bottled. read more

So this happens to be a place I stop for at least once a week. I get gas all the time here. (Almost 50 A week) Today however I don't need gas just air for my stroller tires and the girls inside refuse to give me the code for the air machine!! Told me that if I wasn't purchasing gas I couldn't have free air!!! Well I said I get gas here all the time I don't need it today can I please have the code? They again refused!! Are you kidding me people!!! It's not like those two girls had to come out and put the air in my stroller tires for me. I don't think I was asking for to much... needless to say my gas purchases here will not continue!! read more

I do a lot of Street Racing "Mexico" & all that shit gets me tired & I need peanut butter cookies to pump me up but this gas station refuses to Supply peanut butter cookies at this location... Smh this is a America! read more

I come by at 130am and a sign is posted on the door employee on 30 min rest break. It's now 216 am the store is still closed i saw the employee come out 5 hen went back to his hideaway. Lol. I used to work at a gas station before and it was a busy busy store my shit was exactly 8 hrs I took my break when there was no customers whether it be 10 min 5 min 29 min whatever by the end of the I probably had a good hour to hour and a half break. This is the 2nd gas station I seen do this where they actually close the store for a rest break. Absurd especially when in the middle of the night the employee has as longer break even if he didn't close the store. This is ridiculous read more

I am really disappointed that am pm is still charging a .35 fee for using your debit card. I do realize that it's called a "convenience" store, but that's no excuse to charge for using a debit card. I bought a 6 pack of beer, which cost $7.99 for Miller High Life, that I could have paid $5.00 for two quarts at Ralph's... so, I will take my business elsewhere am PM. This area of San Diego is depressed economically and you charging your customers for convenience is shameful...so shame on you am pm. read more

I go here when I'm in the area and my gas light is on lol...I like that it's roomy. This gas station has alot of people trying to sell cleaning products for your car while you're filling up. There's also those that offer to clean your windows even though you ask them not too. It's very annoying! All the time! I hate that you get charged $0.45 everytime you use your debit card! Late at night a couple times I've seen a bunch of racing cars meeting up lol read more

To the owner/manager: Consistently the slowest gas I've ever pumped, but today takes the cake, hence this review. Change the damn filters! To the staff: you guys are great! No complaints. read more

Have been coming to this gas station and putting gas for almost 8years. Never have I ever asked for air and I just needed probably 1/2 min of air if that for just one tire. Every gas station I've ever gone to provides the code or turns on the air for you. Could not believe that they said "if you ain't putting gas in the same transaction we cannot provide air." The principle is the customer service,I don't blame the workers only cause I know they have to follow the owners "policy". A owner who knows about customer service knows that sometimes you give in to the little things that make people happy to have them coming back. Honestly after all these years never coming here again. One of those experience that leaves a bad taste on the mouth. I believe in supporting business in my community but this is one place I will no longer. read more

Rude and will try to steal 2 pennies and when claimed the cash register lady she told me I was unbelievable and I was like its the principal and I told her she was unbelievable. Tried to tell me she needed to get some from the back and I said I'll wait and she ended up getting the one of the pennies from the customers penny's they leave behind and the other one from the register. Frankly I can careless for those pennies but it's the principals -and its Not my first problem with her, when I tried to ask if I can change my soda that was extremely flat she said are you serious with an attitude it's $1 and I said yes but I paid for it, she didn't want me to but I said I've never encountered such messiness at any store so much like here. Get new employees or I promise I will not come here anymore. read more
