It's been a long time since I've been to a Pioneer. I started using it in 2020 when I started with the Journey reward program but I found it being like a scene points incentive, where you have to force yourself to gas up before your achievement expires.
I went to this pioneer to fill, my associate used it and said, hey can you help me my card doesnt work. So I got out of the car and tried Tap on #6, didnt work. Then I tried inserting my card with two failed oin attempts. That's weird.
So we went ahead and gassed up and paid inside. The attendant was forth coming by calling me out as #6. I said to him, your machine doesnt work. He looked at me with an "I dont give and f***" look. So I responded back to him, okay I'll post a Yelp review to inform other people.
Caution. #6 doesnt take tap or pin entry. If you're a female customer like me, you know how important it is to be able to pay at the machine not in the convenience store. It is so easy to get overpowered and cornered in a gas station past midnight. Thankfully, I am with a male associate and someone was keeping an eye on me.
This is a frequent problem I've had with Pioneer, including lonely attendants hand touching patron hands (yes apparently they get a high out of it). So be careful ladies.
Shameless plug, I've enjoyed the Esso Speedpass App. It allows a screen touch free authorization on screen with receipt in email and allows easy joining to the pc optimum and the retiring esso program. Will be telling my associate to use that next time.
2 star dropped to 1 star, attendant was not following wearing a mask. He wore his mask on his chin. :( read more
