While I can't comment on the prices for this particular gas station (gas is just all around expensive in my opinion), I do wish to comment on my experience at this gas station the other day.
This station is located on the corner of a busy intersection, which means the concrete dividers limits when you can become a patron of this location (unless you are a big enough fan to find a side street to turn around a double back). The other day I was headed along the right direction, noted my tank could use a fill-up soon. Seeing the station listed a decent gas price (for the area at least), I thought I would fill up.
The lot seems to be a lot smaller than your average gas station, though I can't tell if that is because is it bordered by houses and the large convenience store, or if the square footage is genuinely on the small side. Given the fact that I saw nothing but apartments and homes on my drive there, plus a school across the street, I do consider it smart to have a larger convenience store in lieu of a few extra pumps.
For whatever reason, the machine would not read my points card no matter how many times I tried. So off I went, mask on face, into the store to see if I could prepay for gas in person.
The staff there were both courteous and friendly, and another patron even let me go ahead of him because he was waiting for some sort of order that had been delayed. While I suspect prepay orders with points cards were a rare occurrence here, the staff worked walked me through the payment one step at a time and even thanked me for my patience. I've had my fair share of lackluster dealings with gas station attendants, but I can safely say this was NOT one of those times. Somehow the staff's friendly demeanor and smooth handling of the situation dissipated any frustration I may have felt over the finicky machine. I even went on to fill up and drive off in a better mood.
These days, a lot of us prepay at the pump and rarely run into the convenience store. If for any reason you find yourself needing to do so at this location...you may just have a very pleasant experience. read more
