They don't maintain their car wash at all, and refuse to fix the issue if you report it to them. I…read morespent weeks trying to get them to fix the scratches on my car but they refused to help. Don't use their car wash if you care at all about your paint.

I don't know why no one's reviewed the car wash. As far as the convenience store, it's typical and…read morea place to gas up, grab a snack, and be on your way. Winter in Maine raises havoc with the finish on your car, not to mention the exposed elements on the underside. If it snows, or there's a chance there might be ice, local public works trucks appear and dump copious amounts of chemicals on the road surface that melt the ice, but worse, destroy your vehicle. As someone who take meticulous care of my car, I hate this time of year, but what are you going to do if you have to leave the house? Well, I've become a fan of the car wash here at Circle K. What I especially like about this one, compared to some of the self-service car washes I used to frequent, is Circle K has a dedicated employee running the operation. He'll take your money (or card), direct you into the bay. Then, he takes a power wash hose and thoroughly blasts the grime and road film off the sides, rocker panels and immediate undersides of your car prior to starting you down the conveyor through the wash. Since I was a kid, I've loved the car wash tunnel and it's mysterious qualities. I'm still enamored of the experience. Imagine driving out the other end and having your car sparkling and clean again? At Circle K that happens every time. Now that I'm a regular here and enjoy chatting up the staff, I swear they give me a little bit of extra service (tipping doesn't hurt, either). Perhaps I'm imagining it. All I know is that my car after a pretty grimy experience on Tuesday is looking all shiny and new again, sitting in the garage.

Today I filled my tank at Rusty's market. As I have always done, for decades, I used the hold-open…read moreclip. When the tank was full, the shut-off mechanism failed to trigger and gas began overflowing from my tank. I pulled the nozzle out and it was still stuck in the open position, so I unclipped it. Meanwhile, gas had splashed out all over the place, including on my pants and boots. There was a big puddle of gas, so I went in to tell them about it. A dude at the register finally looked up from his cell phone when I said "HI" loudly. I told him what happened, and he said "No worries." Surprised by his underresponsiveness, I asked if this happens a lot. He said, "It's a random thing." From the very faraway look in his eyes and his lack of awareness that there was actually a problem, it was easy to deduce that he was pretty wasted. I asked him if I should just leave or does something maybe need to be done, and he said very casually that I could go and they'd take care of it. But he wasn't moving. He had zero awareness or concern that if I were to leave, the next person who pulls into that spot would be stepping into a big puddle of gasoline. At that point a manager comes out of the back of the store with some urgency and asks what that gas smell is. I said it's me, and I told him what happened. He said they'd take care of it and I could just go. I was stunned they were both more eager to have me leave than to ask me questions. I was getting the sense that this happens a lot. The manager took the register dude with him and out they went. I stood there and waited a bit until I could see them pouring the emergency safety "sand" from the barrel into the puddle. I said to the manager that I was concerned about starting my car, because I was afraid I'd cause an explosion. He said "This isn't the type of gas that will ignite. It's not the gas that will ignite, it's only the fumes." Given that fumes were coming off of my person, I wasn't entirely sure it was wise to start the car, but I did trust that the manager would know what he was talking about in this regard. So I started my car and left. Thanks for your concern, fellas. Later, after walking with my neighbor who is a former safety inspector, I was encouraged to file a report with the police. She said there should have been an incident report taken at the gas station. She said they should have asked about my personal condition. They could have offered me paper towels to dry some of the gas off of my clothing. They could have asked if I'd gotten any gas in my eyes or mouth. I went to the police station and made my report. The officer I spoke with said he'd go speak with the fire department, too. I will not give Rusty's any more business. Who knows how often they inspect their equipment. I don't trust them. Their lack of appropriate response to the problem was freaky.

Thought that this was another Krispy Krunchy chicken location as shown on Google but instead it is…read moreRusty Market which has the chicken tenders much like KKC along with other fried chicken options. The tenders were fresh and delicious. I also got some beef stew and it was delicious and hot as a convenient market can offer. Love it when food are hot rather than lukewarm. Very convenient market to grab something to eat and the food is decent and hot.

I had a gas station lobster roll three days ago from Irving Oil and they're about to get their four star block knocked off, having little to do with the lobster roll - more to do with the man why yelled "Hellooo, you must leave the premises. I think he was a manager - I'm gonna have a chat with his punk as__. Isn't there more to this review that flaming Irving - yes indeedie - the workers are wonderful - but Irving was the hundred and fourty second gun in the west - Irving -- sung high -- Irving sung low. Today there was a new recruit that furrowed his brow when I requested a breakfast sandwich - they're cheap and I feel kinda guilty ordering them but I make good balancing choices in the fields as I harvest and eat roots and cucumbers and cucurbits of all shapes and sizes. The town of coffee, although a bit trashed by sloppy people who can't press and pour without making a disaster of a mess - it's $1.07 and you can bring your own container of most any size, however, I stay with the 80s McDonald's non biodegradable foam they provide - which I do prefer, the cardboard doesn't hold heat well and is easily corrupted by my after work beer. The Beer Cave is a happening spot, all the way in the back and you can purchase and pound anytime of day, just not between 1am and 5am which is reasonable and they sell booze and wine and it's at all so very cheap - I could easily develop a bit of habit here in Maine - let's hope not. The magazine rack has local periodicals that cost a lot more than they deserve which isn't Cumberlands fault, their communist rags are so self serving to the posh Portland people, makes my stomach turn every Sunday morning, so I'll grab the freebies and read about Da Bearz and other high school sporting teams. Chips, dips plastic clad pies all of which I pass on but I've wanted a few gas station egg salad sandwiches which will serve you well in a pinch - that's all for now fine citizens of planet earth - until next time -

Cumberland farms is a great place to get your gas, goodies, and well a lot of things In-between! I…read morethink that the coffee at Cumberland farms is the best kept secret! The coffee is amazing! Prices are excellent and your always in and out in a jiffy.

Irving Oil aka: Rustys Lantern - a self service gas station that Yelp didn't have a category for -…read morewhich is to say the Gas Station option wasn't there but gastroenterologist and gastropub and gastropods were, although I dare say none of those three have a presence here - what's a gastropods you ask? I'll look it up and fill it in. At 4:00 AM and any hours after midnight until then - nothing is open - yet Irving is and therefore must be awarded extra star power points to keep the lights on, coffee available and grab and go foods and drinks. The large coffee will cost $3.12 w/ tax, but will set you free from caffeines calling and with a long day ahead & the quality of the beans used, it's worth the extra dough ray me. Hot foods inside also add to the star points, as a traveler - a warm slice of pizza (perhaps a bit aged in the day) beats a cold turkey wrap. Road nomad tip: just Dunkin your pizza in your coffee for a hotter and faster breakfast after filling your tank and continuing the road. Clean outside and in - Mainers are typically good about not littering, some more than others and a few loosies can escape your clutches on a windy day, so there is a margin for litter error. Right bays to gas up, well lit and prices hover around the mid coast standard. Now weirdos lumbering around as ya find at some 24 hour spots all around our beautiful country - but don't leave your valuables unattended - says the New Yorker in me - not anywhere and not at any time.
