I'm usually not super picky about gas station till I had a really bad experience a year ago. Now I'm all about cleanliness, easy to get in and out location, and convenience.
Esso thankfully has the easy swipe key fob so I'm never using my credit card to swipe at the pump. Thanks to identity thieves, I've heard one too many stories about credit cards being compromised at the pumps. Another good thing about this place is that it's not insane to get and out. Plus it's conveniently located near the 401 on ramp. The last plus to this place is the cleanliness. No random junk left at the pump or gum stuck to the gas trigger (yes that has happened). They always have wind shield cleaner available and the wipers are not falling apart. They also always have paper towels stocked fully.
When driving around work, this is the best station in the area. read more
