Today there were people parked in front of the main entrance to the mini Mart, sitting in their car, or rather unconscious in their car, with vomit and beer bottles around their car. I walked inside while my tank was filling hoping to buy a bottle of water for today's hike. There were four people in line and the employee was having a screaming conversation with someone off to the side without even acknowledging those in line. Object of the conversation with something to do with the employees last trip to the doctor. This horrible place is unfortunately convenient for me. I frequently risk my life getting gas here. I only hope and pray that one day my luck will not run out. It does not take a statistician to realize that there is a reasonable chance you will be robbed or murdered at this gas station.

I came by here becauese I needed gas and they saved me a trip to Costco. I was passing by on my way…read morehome from Oakland and was looking at my map app. I saw that they had a decent price, about 3 cents above Costco's, so I decided to come here since I was driving by it. I'm glad that I did. Now this isn't the fanciest place ever and at the time I went, you couldn't pay at the pump at all. You had to go inside, but I had some cash and was able to pay inside. I think I got $20 worth of gas and it was worth it. There were very few people there, so I was able to get in and out rather fast. I don't know if I'd come again, only because the last time I was in that area, it was to get my vaccine and that was in March 2021. And since we're in a pandemic, I haven't been going out nearly as much as I used to. But, if in the area and they have the right price and I'm driving by because I'm avoiding freeway traffic, I'd stop in again.

Husband and I were in the neighborhood, so we stopped in to fill up the tank. There was a line of customers waiting to pump gas. I guess it was worth the wait. While my husband was waiting behind a female customer pumping gas, we couldn't believe what she had in her other hand...her cell phone and she was conversing with someone. She must not have known that was putting people around her at risk...smh...tsk, tsk, tsk. He got in the empty aisle and filled the tank...$35 for 8 gallons of gas. However, as we were leaving, two customers were arguing over who was first in line at another aisle to pump gas. Okay, I don't wanna be around that drama, it's East Oakland and I'm not gonna take my chance in hangin' around to see what will happen next. Time to book out of there...pronto! Value of gas: 4 stars Overall: 2.5 stars Rounding up to 3 stars.

The next day, my husband went back to talk to the manager and he was told, "Oh yeah, that kind of thing happens all the time here. Oh, and sorry, your witness has fled to Cambodia." W T F.

I soon heard the sound of running water through an open car door window. I stepped out to see that the automatic overflow mechanism of the gas nozzle did not stop and that my tank was overflowing. Diesel fuel was all over the side of my car and tire. I approached the attendent on-duty (Cherin?) to inform him that the automatic overflow mechanism did not work, that I suspect I lost 2+ gallons of fuel and that he would need to bring absorbant out to capture the spilled fuel to prevent run-off into the sewers. Cherin replied that the previous customer had the same problem with the pump not stopping. I thought in my head "why did you not put an out-of-service cover on the nozzles so the next customer would not need to have the same issue?" I asked for a reimbursement of 2+ gallons of fuel in which he replied "you received gas into the tank so the nozzle is not broken --- if you want a refund there is a telephone number on the pump to call." I returned to Pump #10 to find that there was no telephone number on the pump. I returned to the cashier stating that there was no telephone on the pump and I would need help from him locating that number. I then asked him if the water station was working so I could wash off the diesel before it damages the paint on my car. Cherin informs me that the water and air station are out-of-service. Keep in mind, I did not once raise my voice or yell because I understand that Cherin is just an employee doing his job of "doing not much". Driving away dejected, I came home to do the following: * Report the station to the State of CA for not having water and air for a paying customer * Report the station to the County of Alameda Weights and Measures Dept * Report the station to the State of CA Clean Water Program for not quickly putting absorbant on the spill * Dispute my credit card for the entire transaction If Cherin would have credited my credit card for the 2+ gallons of lost diesel fuel, I would not have gone to great lengths to report the station to the above agencies. Personally, reporting the station to the agencies above is well worth my having lost $10+ of diesel fuel. Yes, I lost $10+ but the time the station owner will spend with the above agencies is worth more than the $10+ that I lost.

Prices here seem fair, lots of snacks outside within view of pumping and an unusual hydrogen option too. Chevron costs a little more. If you are hardcore price focused you wouldn't like it. My aunt always said "save money pay twice." She had this ancient Japanese wisdom. I could see cheap quality fuel clogging things up and although I don't always use Chevron I go probably every other fill up. Lots of snack options outside. Sort of an usual look - but I think the small location doesn't have much room. Its a tiny booth in the center - so they do what they can with what they have. Off in the distance there was what I think was a hydrogen station. Nobody was using it at the moment but I don't see those too often. That seems to be the future. Enssaro Ethiopian is across the street - a very friendly spot if you need to try a new place for dinner one day.
