This particular gasoline station was previously a 76 gasoline station, but it is now a Shell gas station. I don't recommend buying gasoline here because their credit card readers are poor at best. While their station accepts debit cards, they do not accept credit cards at the pump. I would have given this gas station a two-star rating had it not been for the experience I'm about to explain. A few months before the pandemic began in March 2020, I bought gasoline at this station. I went into the adjacent mini-mart.
I made the mistake of asking the clerk for change (10 one-dollar bills) for a ten-dollar bill. The clerk told me he only opens the cash register when a transaction is made. I told him this made sense, given the number of crimes that happen at gasoline mini-marts. I also understand this is not a bank, so I shouldn't expect change to be given. I ended up buying some candy with my ten-dollar bill, receiving 7 or 8 dollars in return.
The clerk's justification was completely understandable to me, and I accepted his reasoning. With that being said, the clerk had a bit of rudeness about him despite being blunt and clear to the point. Although I agree with the clerk's rationale as to why he can only open the cash registers for transactions, I have boycotted shopping at this gas station because (1) their credit card readers are unreliable and (2) there is an underlying rudeness in the employee I crossed paths with. I will not do business with a company once I am turned off, and I was turned off by this isolated occurrence with this particular clerk. I neither expect nor want special treatment from anyone; however, I would like to be treated with common decency. I will not be buying gasoline here ever again. read more
