    They are trying to charge 4% for credit or debit use. The law states this is not legal

    This establishment is very close to where I live, and as such I do a fair amount of business here…read more The fact they really resent taking debit or credit cards has cost them about $150 a year in business from myself. I am one of those who rarely have cash on me. The coffee they make is outstanding! Unfortunately in the morning when I count any cash I have laying around, and am usually a few cents short. So I go to Cumberland Farms, just down the street. They take debit without drama, even if all their coffee, no matter what flavor they label it as, always tastes the same. Try using a debit card at Oak Hill Cash Market, the owner acts like you are a complete asshole. Plus they are out of cream 80% of the time I go there. I have to ask, then stand around and wait for them to "get to it". But regardless, the way they make their coffee is incredible and is even better (and much cheaper) than Dunkin Donuts. The breakfast sandwiches are another highlight...always plenty just freshly cooked, so there is no waiting. The pizza they make could not taste much worse, however....a limp, soggy crust and just not good by any stretch of the imagination. It's almost like you have to try to make a Pizza this bad. Because it is a convenience store, the groceries appear to be from a museum and way too expensive to consider, even in a pinch. That being said, I do not go out of my way to do business here, but would get my daily cup of coffee here every single day if using a debit card did not cause the owner to act like you are putting him out of business by doing so. But they do some things extremely well, and I can't go less than 4 stars, as it is locally owned and operated and it's nice to see these places succeed. They do have my 4 star rating, and I recommend this place on the strength of their Coffee and Breakfast sandwiches. You won't get that quality at a chain store.

I'll be honest, I like to go to self-serve, pay at the pump and get out. Here you do need to go into the store but they make it as efficient as possible. They are so busy that they have you pump your gas then move your car ahead before going into the store to pay. They ask that you let them know how much you owe them when you get into the store. This allows others to pump their gas. It is a Fabian gas station. During the increase in gas prices recently, Charleen's prices were ALWAYS lower than anywhere around. The prices were not just a little but a lot (30-50 cents a gallon) lower. They want to give the savings back to the community. There were times when the gas was $4.50 gallon at other stations and I don't think it ever went over $3.90 here. Let me tell you, the owners are awesome. They are friendly and inviting. They love dogs and are fine if you want to bring them into the store. They offer a variety of sundry items, beer, milk and even local baked goods. It is hard to rave about a gas station but if I am going to, it is absolutely going to be about Charleen's. This store/gas station and the people who own it are the best!

    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.

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.
