Normally I don't review gas stations unless they are really yanky or have champagne service while filling up. I mean, they are gas stations, right!!!! As heading out of town we pulled into the dreaded pump #7. The slowest pump in town. Seriously, I shaved this morning and by the time I filled up I had to go home and shave again. Some pumps are fast or at least better, but this one, #7, sucks everytime. I don't think I have ever been inside so not sure what's happening there.

Odd fuel pricing, dirty looking trash area and a fire extinguisher that needs to be re-certified…read morefor the 2022 year. Odd fuel pricing. I don't know where this trend is to overcharge the people who want to buy mid grade fuel. 89 should be in the middle of cost between 87 and 91 - its a game of some sort where it would be hypothetically cheaper to buy half a tank of 87 and half a tank of 91 rather than to buy a full tank of 89. I don't like funny games with pricing. Chevron next door does the same thing - and with gas stations usually you copy the neighbor's price or make it one cent cheaper than the neighbor. So I don't know who started this nonsense. Dirty looking trash area. Stains of who knows what. Sort of unpleasant to look at. That needs some freshening up. As I looked at the dirty trash area I then looked at the fire extinguisher. Yes, the lengths I go through to write a thorough review.... I found the fire extinguisher to last be certified in 2021 - needs updating. Probably a little paint around the surrounding area as rust oozes through the box. If you like a mediocre fuel experience with questionable safety equipment I would think this to be the perfect place for you.

You simply pick a drink, peel off the lid, place it in the machine, and pick the thickness desired. The choices are thin, regular and thick. I picked regular and the machine ran for about a minute. When it's done, you have a 12-oz drink for $3.99. You grab a lid, straw, and spoon. My chocolate shake wasn't super sweet, but it was smooth and well blended. There's no ice crystals in the shake. There seems to be variety of shakes and fruit drinks.
