1st things 1st. Whoever designed this format to force people to give a star to a business that…read moredoesn't deserve any is a complete moron. Yesterday, I had stopped by to get gas. I had only $18 in my account but only intended to purchase $5 in gas. I went inside, conducted the transaction with what was at 1st without incident. When I returned to pump the gas, the screen was saying to insert card or make purchase in store. I pressed the help button but no response occurred. Assuming it was a minor error, I was walking back to the store but met the cashier at the door as he was flirting with a girl in the doorway. He made eye contact with me and put his hand up indicating he knew I was coming back to for to try the purchase again. I confirmed and announced "Yes on pump 9." I went back again and same results. Now I sense if I go back inside, a conflict is likely. In effort to avoid conflict, I attempted to pay at the pump. To my surprise, it accepted the card when normally if there's a low balance, it instructs user to see cashier. Then, I attempted to select grade but the button wouldn't make contact and it was unable to engage. So I hung the pump handle back up and cancelled the transaction on the keypad. I decided to try a different pump. I drove to opposite side to pump 10 and went inside to try again. This time, the card declined. I explained to the cashier that this would be a serious problem bc I had no other option to pay and he said wait a few minutes and try again. I did but it was still unsuccessful. I explained that I had no way to leave without any gas bc I was barely fortunate enough to coast to the pump. He began to comment that nobody was trying to steal money from me, for which I replied that I am not accusing anyone of anything. He continued to be confrontational which intensified to a shouting match. He then threatened to call the manager which I encouraged him to do so. He put her on speaker phone and immediately, she decided that I was in the wrong based on his version of events and ordered him to call the law. I also encouraged the idea bc regardless of who was right or wrong, the fact remains that I am unable to remedy the situation due to the uncontrollable circumstances that my car was out of fuel, and out of money as a result of his incompetence. The deputies showed up, I gave my version of events and they went inside to get his. They came back and helped me out with $10 of gas. The immediate problem was resolved and greatly appreciated but the incident continues to be a major problem bc I intended to use the remainder of my assets to purchase a Mother's Day present but due to his serious lack of professionalism and furthermore, the faulty equipment at the pump, I am still unable to access my funds that were unreasonably taken from me

I would love a response for his actions. Will definitely be sending this and the video of him berrating and threatening customers with the police, for doing nothing wrong, to cooperate. This was just unexcusable behavior on the part of this dusty old man. Maybe he should retire. Feel free to reach out.

I go back it the store and try to tell her what they said at Venmo. she yells at me and tells me she's not going to do it. I tell her I don't have enough gas to make it home and this is my only way to pay. she just looks at me like I'm stupid and walks off. I go to the other clerk, she tries to use the app but does something so my payment gets lost. I go back to my car that is sitting at the pump find where my $ went, the first clerk comes out pounds on my car window and yells "you're not allowed to just sit here! your blocking the pump and no one can get gas! Leave the property or I'm calling the cops!" I look around and there is NO ONE ELSE in the parking lot and everyone of their 13 pumps is open. so I pull forward into a parking spot. she comes and pounds on my window like she's on drugs screaming that she's calling the cops!!

The manager told me before that if I wave at the clerk they would know I was coming in the store to get something else. Well I wave at the clerk and she just stood there, so I walk to the door and ask to turn on the pump and I was going to get cigarettes. ( I've had problems with this clerk before. ) Well she said she need something from me before she could turn it on. I tried to tell her what I was going to get , when she started to get hateful with me, then the other clerk jump in and started hateful saying they don't turn pumps on that they didn't know. That flew all over me. I'm going to have a talk with her about what happen. ( If they were nice about it I would have been too.) I don't think anything will be done about it. But I hope they get rid of them. I'll never go back to that store again

It's only about a mile from I-26 / US 74. If coming from the highway, take exit 33 for NC 191 / Blue Ridge Parkway. On a Sunday morning around 11am, this gas station and convenience store were busy with a variety of customers including families with children and out-of-towners like us. We even ran into our Airbnb hosts. I guess this place is befitting of its name. I'd never heard of the Hot Spot chain before this visit. At the time of writing this review, there are about 40 locations in the Carolinas. They're mostly in South Carolina, with multiple locations in the greater Greenville, Spartanburg, and Asheville areas. In North Carolina, I spend most of my time in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) and Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point). There are no Hot Spots in those areas. I pass through Greenville and Spartanburg regularly on my trips to and from Georgia. However, I almost always fill up at a QuikTrip along I-85. It looks like there are only a couple Hot Spots along I-85 on that stretch. This Hot Spot has eight pumps. Apart from the branding, I can't say too much separates this place from other gas stations and convenience stores. It's run-of-the-mill, but also A-OK. I'd fill up here again. The price for premium fuel was in line with other more expensive gas stations like BP and Shell. The property felt clean and safe enough.
