I need to stop coming here. The employees are nice, but that's not everything. The gas is…read moreexpensive. The oil change is expensive. The car wash I believe is pricey, too, and not great. I had plenty of missed spots and water running down my car the one time I went there.
But what bugs me a lot is the beer prices; or lack thereof. They have probably over 40 kinds of beer and in different sizes and packs, but only about 5-7 stickers on the glass displaying the price. That means if you want to know the price, you have to ask the cashier to guess for you or scan it.
So what if they are busy or you don't want to ask the cashier to scan 5 or 6 beers to see which one you want to go with, you're left in an uncomfortable position that you should t be in. Just have prices visible like everyone else.
Why does this bother me so much? Because I am often not sure which one I want and if I'm split between 2-3 beers, I'll just get the cheapest one and save myself a couple bucks.
So here's what's happened in the past. I asked the cashier to check a few prices and they were all higher than what everyone else would sell the same ones for and I chose whatever. Doesn't matter. It was expensive and I was in a hurry so that's it.
Another time I just chose a cheap Mexican beer that I thought would be good with the food I ordered somewhere and went to check out. It was like $10 for a six pack. Everywhere else it would be like $6-8. Circle K, Seven 11, you name it. But what sucks is that I knew I was getting a cheap beer, I waited in line expecting to pay $8 at the very most, and it was like $10. Maybe with tax.
This is annoying to me and feels like they are being dishonest by not displaying the price. Maybe they think people won't notice because they are getting other items and maybe gas and are in a hurry. But I pay at the pump and I'm usually just going inside for beer and nothing else. I'm trying to avoid the line at Target.
Okay, I see this has turned into a rant. Sorry. Prices are high on everything but it's only one of two gas stations around the area. It's the closest to me, but I won't be supporting them anymore. Nice people inside, but the owner needs to make some changes.
