Plenty of fuel pumps. A typical convenience store with a Mountain driving twist. You can buy chain and lots of basic but typical car parts, bulbs etc. The weinerschmitzel restaurant was a bit slow but it was Easter Sunday and only one person working. Sodas. Snacks. Clean restrooms. A solid stop with everything you need to get over the pass.

He then came back out for another dollar just to come back out for a quarter. I went in to speak with a manager about the theft to find out that it was the manager that cashed him it. He tried to tell me that my husband had been 1.85 short but when I confronted him about the fact that he came out for 2.25 he then tried to say that my husband was 2.85 short. How does any of that make any sense. So I'm other words don't go there unless you want to get stolen from.

The ladies working the counter were helpful and friendly explaining how the business was bought out and they were slowly converting over. Place was pretty clean including the restrooms.

Too bad they will be gone.

I understand bad days and not enjoying customer service (I wouldn't wish customer service on anyone) but I've never had a staff member pick a fight with me before I even entered the establishment. We went to open the door and found it was locked, so we tried the second door immediately after the first door since we were just a little confused. We weren't upset or vocally angry, we didn't even say a single word other than 'oh!', but the staff member commented, "It's not going to just open without a key" and when we tried to explain that we were just caught off guard, which is why we tried the second door, he then said, "Yeah, if one door's locked, usually the other one is too." Yes, we know this, but it's odd that a gas station we've been to a billion times, and will inevitably go to a billion more, was locked. He was exceptionally condescending, and I'd rather not have to pick a fight with the guy every single time I have to grab a drink from there.

Parachute, CO is a good stopping point along I-70 to get gas. The Paradise Shell station (Yelp…read morestill thinks it's a Texaco but it's been rebranded) is now on my short list of good places to stop if I'm topping off before making the climb over the passes or I need a bit more gas to get me to Grand Junction if I'm heading West. The gas pumps were easy to get in and out of even with a smail trailer, and the restrooms were clean. (My 3 year old didn't say they were yucky and he's quick to complain if a place has dirty bathrooms). Inside you'll find a typical C-Store with a slightly expanded range of offerings from coffee (They had a Douwe Egberts machine) to hot dogs. They also have a Subway franchise location here. 3 Stars.

I'm at a crossroads about my review. On one hand, we received excellent service from the MOD the…read morefirst time we pulled in on our way to the west coast. On the other hand, our second time we pulled in (on the way back to the front range) we couldn't have been treated more poorly than we were at that time. The trip out west was to stop and try and fix a problem we had with the lights on our horse trailer. We had one horse in it and the lights would flicker and go out over bumps on the road. We decided that we could try duct tape to secure the connection. This location didn't have any duct tape for sale but the MOD gave us some packing tape to use. We put it on and it seemed like it would work. I gave the rest of the tape back and a few dollars for the help. The way back couldn't have been more opposite. We pulled in during a busy time because the Blue Def sensor kept going off even though we just put some in. We pulled into Maverick as it was conveniently located. We found the one pump area we could get into with our rig. Unfortunately when we wanted to pull out, our angle was a little off to pull straight forward. There was a car parked in a parking space behind the trailer. Now, if that car wasn't there we could have probably just backed up a little then pulled straight out. We didn't want to take the chance of hitting the car so my friend tried to turn the trailer a little to the right to avoid the car. Unfortunately that messed up our geometry and we had too much of an angle between the truck and trailer and we couldn't pull forward. The first time she did, she ended up bumping the cement barrier in front of the pump (as this is why they are there). She back up and tried to get the trailer realigned but we were too much to the right by this time. Had that car not been there she could have turned the trailer to the left and straitened it out. When she lightly bumped the barrier, an employee of the station came out and bitched that we hit his pump. Um, no, we lightly tapped the cement and in fact the trailer had the mark from it. Nothing on the barrier. I told him that she lightly tapped the cement and she knows she is at fault and isn't the type of person who would complain. None the less, the guy took pictures of the trailer, the plates, the barrier (without a scratch) and was acting like a hard ass. I said that we got into this predicament because we were avoiding the car parked behind us. He didn't say anything. About 5 more minutes passed of us trying to wiggle the trailer to an angle we could pull out from but no luck. He was watching the whole time. Not helping. Just watching. There was a gentleman who was helping us. He just drove straight from Florida and still was willing to help. After 5 minutes the man helping us mentioned that this would have been easier if that car wasn't there. We asked everyone if that was their car, talked about it yet no owner came forward. After about the 5th time of mentioning the car, the maverick employee who was all fired up about us "hitting his pump" (again, we hit cement), he fessed up that it was his car. Oh man, both the man helping us and myself went off. We couldn't believe he had us go through all of this knowing he could help but he didn't. He then said he was calling the cops on us. Ok buster. You go ahead because my friend is already on it. The cops arrived and had a hard time understanding what happened. The first cop was on the employee's side but once he finally figured it out he agreed that it was a dick move to not move your car. Another cop came and because he was involved with horses a long time ago he understood how we got there. He immediately said that the maverick guy was a jerk. We finally decided to unhook the trailer (we didn't have a horse in it on the way back) then have several of us manually pick up the hitch and roll the trailer back and angle it by hand. That's exactly what we did. We hooked the truck back up and pulled out. The cops told Mr. Maverick that they weren't going to write a report so let it go. The cops were cool. The guy from Florida was cool. The lady watching was cool. The maverick manager (not the same one as the trip west) was definitely NOT COOL!! He needs to get some serious customer service training or management. So Michael Hernandez, I hope you sleep well at night knowing that you pretty much suck as a person and a manager.

Sure, convenience stores aren't known to be the cleanest joints around, but this one was rough. If you're here just to fill up on overpriced gas but not go inside, you might be ok. But for the love of God, don't touch anything if you can avoid it.
