Yep, the last thing I ever thought I'd be reviewing on Yelp is a gas station! Especially one I had to hunt down like a dog in the street to find when I got home. (You see, there are many Chevron gas stations in the greater Hillsboro/Beaverton areas and I wanted to make sure I was referring to the exact right one. And I don't know if they are brand new or not but I could not find them on Yelp listings yet. So I added them in. I believe their official address is 11015 SW Canyon Rd SW Canyon Dr, Beaverton, but I could be wrong.
Just short and sweet - there is another Chevron station about half a mile back near the Fred Meyer's, but this is a different one. When I walked in - not only was I pleasantly greeted by the shop keep, (there were two of them, a guy and a girl and both delightful) - but they even rushed over to open the door for me. ??!?! What the-? Who does that at a gas station food shop?
Anyway - that was only the beginning. The place was bright and immaculate and beautifully stocked. Not one but BOTH of the sales clerks walked right up to offer their help. And I wasn't even there with a car! It was just such a nice surprise to be greeted so pleasantly and then to have such amazing customer service the entire time I was there - I was floored. They treated me like the Queen of England instead of some sweating, over-heated blonde chick who wandered in to look for a cold drink and a can of tuna! LOL.
I wish I had caught the names of the two workers who helped me but if their boss sees this - you should give those two a big, fat raise! (Not to sound marginalizing but since I don't know their names, all I can do is describe them. The female land male both appeared to be Hispanic or Latino (perhaps American Indian/Asian, too, not sure). The woman was probably in her 40-50s and the guy was just a kid, but very very sweet and helpful.
They were SO much fun and unbelievable. And right about now it kinda restored my faith in humanity a bit. Great job you guys! Thank you! I will be back! (Whether on foot or in an actual vehicle, lol. And I urge anyone else in the area to do the same!) read more
