A funny thing happened on my detour from Ashburn to Manassas, trying to avoid paying the toll on the Dulles Greenway. As I was approaching Route 50, I saw a fuel station that I haven't seen since driving through North Carolina back in 2009. Northern Virginia now has its first Harris Teeter fuel station, and I hope it is the first of more to come in the DMV. Employees were on hand to help customers walk through the process, like scanning their VIC card (three cents off per gallon) and/or inserting their credit/debit card. Joe helped me out with my transaction, and I was glad to see red plastic disposable gloves nearby to use while pumping gas. Those gloves saved me from having to squirt hand sanitizer gel or use antibacterial wipes afterwards. From 6am-10pm there is staff on hand to accept cash, and to sell beverages, tobacco products, and lottery tickets. However, you can pay credit or debit at the pump 24/7. By the way, (per Joe) the beverages are the same price you would pay inside Harris Teeter supermarket, there's no "highway robbery" overcharging like many other service stations and convenience stores. There's also a unisex restroom on the right hand side of the building. read more
