I thought this would never happen, but it's true... I found a place worthy of the infamous "1…read moreStar" and that's being very generous... Ouch!
It's 7:15am and I'm sitting in moderate traffic on westbound Telegraph Canyon Road. I'm eagerly waiting my turn to get onto the 805N, when my car's sexy voice announces, "low on fuel." I turn the indicator to see how far I can go before EMPTY. The screen reads, "25 miles." Oh, snap! My commute is 30 miles and I don't want to fuel up north. I was in desperate need for gas because my car was beginning to suck fumes... At first, I thought, "wow, how convenient it was to have a gas station?" Hmm, there were no cars... What an easy way to get in and get out, right?
Oh boy! ...was I wrong!!!
In the 6+ years, I've lived in Otay Ranch I never had given this place a second thought... Thank goodness for YELP. Now, I have a voice to share... NOT!!! Never again!!! Please, please, please, avoid this place like the plague!!!
If you ever stopped here to get gas then ya know what I'm talking about...
We're in a time where being thrifty & price conscious is the best way to stretch our dollars. Then, out pops this obnoxious place (then again, it been here for quite some time). I believe it was an UNION 76 but now it clearly is an independent. They're supposed to be price competitive with the big names companies, right? That's surely not the case... This place is the most expensive gas $.15 more per gallon than it's nearby competitors... And that's if you pay cash, add an additional $.10 to that price (per gallon), if you choose to use credit/ debit. Hot damn! And that's without the Vasoline. Now, that's rough =(
This doesn't make sense. How do they get away with this?
Unlike the good old days when you would be willing to pay more for FULL SERVICE, the lazy a$$ attendant sits behind the bullet proof glass laughing at all those willing to come & pay his outrageous rates =)
He wasn't friendly, whatsoever =( I walk in to voice my opinion and the store attendee (probably the owner) tells me if I don't like it, then go elsewhere... Wow, are you for real? He reminded me of plain clothed, Oscar the Grouch (not a compliment). Where's the professionalism? As I walk back to my car, I hear snickering all the way from the pump.
The store was dirty and not pleasant. I didn't even want to use the restroom to wash my hand fearing they'd charge me too =(
Happy ending? I put $5 in cash (about a gallon & a half) just enough to get me to the next exit on H Street and fuel up with real gas.
Take it from me, if you have to gas up "don't get it" from here and you'll be better off.
Lesson learned. Now, I'm the one snickering when I drive by... Wow! what a (bad) experience?!
