For some reason the gas here is cheaper than Ramstein. At first glance this is a typical AAFES…read moreshopette that you would find any where in the world. It is well stocked and the staff are friendly. I was surprised that this wasn't a 24 hour shopette like Ramstein. But it does provide the same services.

This gas station and shoppette offers great services. I love how you can get an ESSO card here…read morevery easily. Almost all of my experiences have been pleasant except for one time. I hate to say it but these German cashiers really are not so friendly to Americans and I don't think they should work in a place where they're going to disrespect customers and insult our intelligence. Yesterday, my husband put gas at the ESSO gas station right off of ROB. The pin my husband entered was not being accepted which resulted in his card being locked. I advised him to call the number on the back of the card and he spoke to an awesome customer service representative: Ralph; who told him to come by this ESSO gas station to see what was the issue. When we got to this shoppette, we asked to speak to someone and these 2 German Female cashiers started giving my husband a very hard time (telling him to call the number which he did, then they tried to say they couldn't help us but then when some reiterated what we said, they basically tried to act like they were not wrong and said they could assist, which is what we had been telling them from the beginning.) Anyway, a sweet American cashier female looked into the system and saw that there was no pin registered to his card so they refunded my husband the amount he shouldn't have paid. Only reason why they don't get 5 stars is because the American cashier told us there have been many complaints about those two German females and I honestly feel this issue needs to be fixed. This is a Military establishment and everyone should be treated with kindness. If they don't want to serve us, they shouldn't work there, period. Other than that, Ralph is a great ESSO rep and so was Gabby!

This tiny gas station in no where Germany has amazing pretzels! The pizza like pretzel was cheese,…read moreham, and a light baked on spiced tomato sauce. The cheese pretzel was great. Now, the butter pretzel, this thing was down right amazing! We thought we'd ordered a plain pretzel, so the first bite was a little surprising - in a very good way! The pretzel was sliced perfectly in half with butter and chives smeared in between and sandwiched back together. The gas is a fair price too! Update: they have a decent candy bar selection which includes Reese's peanut butter cups (in case you're home sick), Milka (a German milk chocolate bar), and LION (sort of like a Kit Kat).
