I have been meaning to post a review about their behavior after Sandy. They would only accept…read morecash, but didn't tell anyone on line until they got to the pump. They made you use their ATM inside that charged for the transaction. I asked them why they were doing this. The response was to save the money on the transaction fees from the credit card companies. People were in distress and they added to the stress. I haven't used this place since.

I am only reviewing this place because I was astounded that the advertised price for gas was not…read moreactually the price for gas. Apparently if you use your Valero gas/credit card you get gas for the advertised price. But that's not quite obvious until you see how much you paid for the gas you actually pumped and paid for. I don't have a lot of gas station experience in NY because I don't drive much, but it would be nice if the advertised price was actually the price you paid. The gas station itself was clean and tidy. The store was a typical gas station store and the staff was nice. Guess I'll need to pay more attention to prices next time, although if you need gas, you need gas.

This is a fairly typical 7-Eleven of the 7-Elevens that are older or haven't been renovated. While…read morethe staff here is friendly and seems to do their best, but it definitely looks a bit more run-down than the newer ones popping up. The parking lot could use a bit of work, as well. It's at an angle, which isn't ideal, and half of it isn't even paved. However, there are typically enough spots in the paved area, so that isn't typically a point of concern. It has all of the typical mainstays of a 7-Eleven, nothing out of the ordinary. The convenience of the location is the biggest draw to this one. Being right on the highway and next to a shopping center with a few more things is a huge draw to this location - as with most 7-Elevens, the convenience is where it's at.

I was at this location earlier tonight standing on line and there was another patron in front of me…read moretrying to get the cashier's attention by saying hello and excuse me and the cashier's response was you are being rude and then proceeded by calling her a racist in which she did not do,Because if that was the case I would be up in arms,I told him she did not say anything racist and didn't seem to care,Behavior like this should not be tolerated with someone who is supposed to be a representative of the company, The owner of the store needs to deal with this employee who seems to have a problem with doing his job and causing an unnecessary problem.

So I walked over and tried to show him and he refused to acknowledge it. So rather than try to argue with him, I just got the regular one.

As far as CVSes go, this one is very nice. It's brand new, clean, and in an easily accessible…read morecorner location with plenty of parking available. They did a nice job with its design and it's a cute addition to the area. The staff seem friendly enough. The only negative of this location is its hours - it isn't open 24/7 and closes pretty early at 10pm daily. CVS in general isn't a favorite of mine because of the lack of healthy snacks available. There aren't many organic or non-gmo options and the granola bars they have are usually stale and hard (yuck). Plus the photo printing is usually of lackluster quality. But for a quick birthday card or toiletry item it's a convenient choice. I do recommend this location and wish I could give them 3.5 stars, because it's a little better than just "A-OK" but I'm not exactly a "fan," so 3 stars it is.

They still call and leave prerecorded messages and texts to tell you your script is ready. You get there, they tell you it is NOT ready and to come back in a half hour. This is why I left CVS years ago..now I have to deal woth again. This last time, I went to pick her up items she uses regularly and I stood in line way too long to check out only because they have 1 cashier at the register taking care of people in line AND the people with problems (and there were quite a few) with the self checkout! This poor woman was very helpful, kind and so obviously trying to hide her frustration with handling this all on her own. HIRE MORE PEOPLE! I know how to use the self checkout, I refuse to use CVS's because the coupons always get stuck and then you have to pull this oman off the register to fix it or for some other stupid problem. Ridiculous! I only go there to for non prescription items when she is in town for her hair appt.(and i have a coupon) Otherwise I go elsewhere for cheaper prices on the same items. CVS rips off hospitals and customers. Google it! This is an Extremely dishonest company.

A pathetic excuse of a deli. I'd only recommend this deli to people who want to get treated like they are worthless. Workers were cursing at me and everyone else in the joint. I was honestly completely taken back by how poorly I was treated. The man who seemed to be the owner was cursing at customers for literally no apparent reason, he also locked the door from the inside which was quite scary. The order was completely messed up and they forgot one of the sandwiches. I truly am at a loss for words. The women worker wasn't any better, treating me and others like we are five years old. Every worker in here seems like they hate customers. Don't open a deli if you don't know how to treat people. The dude also was storming around the place like an animal just telling people to get out of his way. Seriously would not recommend anyone to come here, it was an embarrassment to other food establishments who actually treat people correctly. I also watched the man mess up peoples orders and when they informed him it was wrong he couldn't care less nor did he fix it. Save urself the the trip! read more

I have recently been going to Idle Hour Deli the last few months. Every time I walk in on the weekends, I always see the sweetest young girl who is always willing to help any customer who happens to walk in. She never fails to brighten my day, the past few weekends I have not seen her. I am beginning to question her whereabouts, and I hope to see her again, because usually whenever someone else takes my intricate order it is always messed up. But whenever she is there, she always double checks and assures my order. I hope to see her again soon. read more

This establishment gave me the worst experience of my life. I've been coming here since I was a child and I will never go back. I got yelled at when ordering, yelled at when paying, and yelled at when being given my food. The bafoon running the place locked the door while we were inside and cursed us out when we left telling us to "cook the egg ourselves." Also, they did not wear masks and made me feel super unsafe. Overall worst experience ever this place sucks. read more
