Stop N Save

The first time is always the best time…read more As we continue to road trip we need to stop for provisions and fuel. The first and second glances at this convenient store are excellent . As you step out of the ride the concrete is even clean. Wow! The store is so inviting with incredible staff. The restrooms are impeccable. The staff is overly friendly and polite truly beyond what we are used too. Again amazing !! Your eyes wander and your inner core wants to just explore new places. It's truly amazing . I cannot believe it! They have the lotto here too . You can buy tickets to gamble in a vending machine. It's a great idea and concept. They are scratch tickets. Way too cool. The twins gambled in a new way and won a couple dollars. In fact you can play the lotto at eighteen . What's really not to love but making new friends along the way and memories . The employees and even the customers were so enchanting . Unfortunately we don't fit in here . Perhaps with the level of joy and love from our encounter but it's amazing to see "real people." Time to hit the road and make new memories. Let's go. This Stop and Save all the cool snacks and fun that we had not even planned was great . The biggest surprise was the fact the local store personal was welcoming. Thank you for making our trip so special! Until the next time we are here.

I stopped in here for coffee. It changed my life. Ok, perhaps that's a slight exaggeration (ever…read moreso slight), but let's just say that it changed my life entirely for the very small amount of time that I was in Grand Junction. They serve gourmet coffee from a fancy coffee maker with a digital screen. Sure, every coffee maker calls their coffee "gourmet", but this was different. It brewed thick and frothy, like it was brewed in some French coffee shop where the word "gourmet" actually means something. I'm quite certain that if you tried to call non-gourmet coffee gourmet in France, standard French protocol dictates you must be slapped in the face with a glove and challenged to a duel. I could go on with the topic, but I think I'm past the scope here.

I'm at a crossroads about my review. On one hand, we received excellent service from the MOD the…read morefirst time we pulled in on our way to the west coast. On the other hand, our second time we pulled in (on the way back to the front range) we couldn't have been treated more poorly than we were at that time. The trip out west was to stop and try and fix a problem we had with the lights on our horse trailer. We had one horse in it and the lights would flicker and go out over bumps on the road. We decided that we could try duct tape to secure the connection. This location didn't have any duct tape for sale but the MOD gave us some packing tape to use. We put it on and it seemed like it would work. I gave the rest of the tape back and a few dollars for the help. The way back couldn't have been more opposite. We pulled in during a busy time because the Blue Def sensor kept going off even though we just put some in. We pulled into Maverick as it was conveniently located. We found the one pump area we could get into with our rig. Unfortunately when we wanted to pull out, our angle was a little off to pull straight forward. There was a car parked in a parking space behind the trailer. Now, if that car wasn't there we could have probably just backed up a little then pulled straight out. We didn't want to take the chance of hitting the car so my friend tried to turn the trailer a little to the right to avoid the car. Unfortunately that messed up our geometry and we had too much of an angle between the truck and trailer and we couldn't pull forward. The first time she did, she ended up bumping the cement barrier in front of the pump (as this is why they are there). She back up and tried to get the trailer realigned but we were too much to the right by this time. Had that car not been there she could have turned the trailer to the left and straitened it out. When she lightly bumped the barrier, an employee of the station came out and bitched that we hit his pump. Um, no, we lightly tapped the cement and in fact the trailer had the mark from it. Nothing on the barrier. I told him that she lightly tapped the cement and she knows she is at fault and isn't the type of person who would complain. None the less, the guy took pictures of the trailer, the plates, the barrier (without a scratch) and was acting like a hard ass. I said that we got into this predicament because we were avoiding the car parked behind us. He didn't say anything. About 5 more minutes passed of us trying to wiggle the trailer to an angle we could pull out from but no luck. He was watching the whole time. Not helping. Just watching. There was a gentleman who was helping us. He just drove straight from Florida and still was willing to help. After 5 minutes the man helping us mentioned that this would have been easier if that car wasn't there. We asked everyone if that was their car, talked about it yet no owner came forward. After about the 5th time of mentioning the car, the maverick employee who was all fired up about us "hitting his pump" (again, we hit cement), he fessed up that it was his car. Oh man, both the man helping us and myself went off. We couldn't believe he had us go through all of this knowing he could help but he didn't. He then said he was calling the cops on us. Ok buster. You go ahead because my friend is already on it. The cops arrived and had a hard time understanding what happened. The first cop was on the employee's side but once he finally figured it out he agreed that it was a dick move to not move your car. Another cop came and because he was involved with horses a long time ago he understood how we got there. He immediately said that the maverick guy was a jerk. We finally decided to unhook the trailer (we didn't have a horse in it on the way back) then have several of us manually pick up the hitch and roll the trailer back and angle it by hand. That's exactly what we did. We hooked the truck back up and pulled out. The cops told Mr. Maverick that they weren't going to write a report so let it go. The cops were cool. The guy from Florida was cool. The lady watching was cool. The maverick manager (not the same one as the trip west) was definitely NOT COOL!! He needs to get some serious customer service training or management. So Michael Hernandez, I hope you sleep well at night knowing that you pretty much suck as a person and a manager.

Lord have mercy, I'm still sticky after leaving this place! From the sticky floors, to the door…read morehandles and even the drinks in the cooler (which were surprisingly warm), everything feels like a soda bottle was shaken and unloaded all over the place. Sure, convenience stores aren't known to be the cleanest joints around, but this one was rough. If you're here just to fill up on overpriced gas but not go inside, you might be ok. But for the love of God, don't touch anything if you can avoid it.
