I filled up at this Chevron on my 60-mile trek from Midtown Atlanta to Achasta Golf Club in Dahlonega. I mapped out my route and this Chevron was conveniently located on the way, at the northern terminus of Georgia 400 at US 19. This gas station sits right behind the sign at the large intersection that says: "Welcome to Lumpkin County. Dahlonega... It's Pure Gold." You can't miss it. This is one of the larger Chevron stations on this stretch. It has 12 pumps. Compare that to the Chevron at 5035 GA-400 in Cumming, less than 15 miles south, which has only eight pumps: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chevron-cumming-10. There are a couple more Chevron stations in between: 104 GA-400 in Dawsonville and 2030 GA-400 also in Dahlonega. Early on a Saturday afternoon, this Chevon was moderately busy. When I arrived, one of the workers was outside the Food Mart taking a smoke break. I used pump #6 and it was fine. The "Supreme" (premium) gas here was relatively expensive, but that's to be expected with Chevron. The pump worked fine and my receipt printed clearly. Chevron's website says this station accepts NFC payments, but that wasn't the case at the pump. I had to insert my card. Yes, I had to use a physical card! Just kidding, if you even get my lame joke (will anyone even read this far for a gas station review?). Anyway, this place didn't feel as tidy nor as well-kept as a QuikTrip or RaceTrac, but that was to be expected as well. QT and RaceTrac kind of set the standard there. In Georgia, outside of Costco, QT and RaceTrac are my preferred gas station brands. I'd only fill up here again if needed. This is Chevron station #301274. Like the Cumming location linked above, I had to create the Yelp listing for this one. Come on, Yelp, don't let Google beat you. read more

Went to the restroom. There's a sign on the door that explicitly states "if door is locked, restroom is occupied" or something along those lines. I happen to find out why they needed a sign for this... An old man kept banging on the door. "OCCUPIED!", I'd scream in response each time, in a typical call-and-response fashion. After a couple of minutes, an employee keys open the lock and barges in. "Oh, someone's in here." she says, as she walks away leaving the door wide open. Thankfully I was decent by this point, but come on. She never once bothered to knock herself and check. I worked retail through high school and college and can tell you that I'd never barge in on a bathroom without warning, regardless of what a customer may have said or wanted. Like I said, there was a sign on the door stating that if the door is locked, it is occupied. I don't know why she didn't consider the sign she probably wrote herself (I'm assuming she's the manager), but considering the fact that she never even apologized and left the door wide open, the whole thing felt very off-putting. Wait the 10 minutes it takes to get into Dahlonega to stop! read more
