    Traveling south, drivers will enter the North Driveway where you see the sign without the "fine print."
    Keith B.

    This Shell Gas Station charges CREDIT surcharges when using DEBIT card. This is atypical of most gas stations! The street side signage IS DECEPTIVE! The pricing sign southbound drivers see does not have the deceptive "fine print" for you to read. Southbound drivers will turn in the first driveway because the right lane is a MUST TURN onto 10-Freeway and it gets dicey to go to the far driveway where the sign with "fine print" is located. Fine print? What fine print? The fine print that attentive consumers will be told about when they take their pump receipt inside to ask the management WHY they were charged the HIGHER CREDIT price when they used their DEBIT card. The fine print people will be referred to when people go inside to protest that they WOULD HAVE PAID CASH - if they were warned that DEBIT was treated as CREDIT! How many people look at their receipt and catch the deception? The management will not allow you to reverse the transaction (pay cash and credit your debit card) when you discover you've been deceived. OK.... I asked for a dollar refund (it was more than a dollar). The management will not hand you the difference. They'd rather you go to Rip-off Report, Yelp or Google Reviews to get your $1 of satisfaction. Okay. Here I am. When you purchase gasoline you are often faced with two different prices: CASH price or CREDIT price. That said, other than AM/PM ARCO that clearly charges $0.45 for using a debit card, most gas stations will treat your DEBIT card as CASH and absorb the miniscule processing fee. That's why the terminals in the gas pump asks: "Credit or Debit." Yesterday, Sunday, we were driving back from Phoenix and as much as our Dodge tried, it was on fumes by Banning/Beaumont. I turned off and saw a Shell, a Chevron and an AM/PM a block north. As we passed by the Shell the CASH price was $3.39. We drove to the corner and the AM/PM ARCO was $3.29 - a better deal to top off our rental car and the logical choice but they were full of cars and experiencing some sort of problem, so no big deal, the extra $0.10/gal. at the Shell back by the freeway on ramp would cost only a dollar more. We pulled into the first driveway entrance at Shell as we were driving south and there was the sign: $3.39 CASH or $3.49 CREDIT. I had in my wallet, cash, credit and debit. But to use cash I'd have to go inside the food market & likely wait in line behind lottery ticket and soda buyers, so, OF COURSE, I grabbed my Wells Fargo Debit Card. I inserted my DEBIT card. The display asked me: "Debit or Credit?" I selected "Debit." The display asked be to use the keypad to enter my PIN and push ENTER. I did that. I pumped my gas. The total amount seemed higher than it has been at any other gas station on the 3-day trip. I looked closely at the receipt. I was charged $3.49 - the CREDIT price. I went inside asked the female cashier if I could get a dollar back as I was charged the CREDIT amount when I specifically chose "DEBIT" and she said: "Sorry no. ALL plastic (but a Shell Card) is considered CREDIT by Shell and the policy is clearly spelled out on our sign." I told her there was no policy on the sign. She pointed to a big corner sign at the on ramp to the 10 freeway that we could not see from our turn in driveway NOR from the pumps we used on the north side of the station. I asked her again to remedy the situation - take cash & cancel my debit card or hand me a buck. Actual difference was $1.43 more than the cash price and $2.45 MORE that the AM/PM ARCO station a stone's throw away ($2.88 less $0.45 debit card fee). Gas Stations are allowed under California law to offer 2-tiered pricing as the station might pay an average of 2% to process a CREDIT transaction. And this is where Shell Oil (at least this Shell franchise) is taking advantage of their customers. The processing company that charges Shell 2% for credit will charge them $0.10 (a dime on average) to process a Debit Card transaction. That is why MOST gas stations will offer their CASH prices to Debit Card users. Had Shell's POS pump asked me if I agreed to the CREDIT price after selecting DEBIT I would have canceled the transaction and walked inside to save a $1.50. It DID NOT ASK! If it had said: "We charge $0.45 to process a Debit Card transaction - Y/N?" - I would have agreed to that too, as a convenience - but it DID NOT ASK. This station elects to USE DECEPTIVE PRACTICES. The Law in most states (a little less clear in California) http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/credit_card_surcharges states that if a gas station elects to use a surcharge (a two-tier pricing system) that it shall so state on ALL signage where prices are displayed INCLUDING AT THE PUMP. Not at Highland Shell. When I asked for a refund of $1. The lady said: "Sorry, you should have read our sign." I did - just not a "particular" sign. I asked is a dollar worth a negative review. No response. Guess no response is the same as an "F You"

    4/21/26.....Adan in the Photo Dept. was extremely helpful in showing me the picture downloading…read moreprocess! ***** 5 stars Adan.... Thank you ! Lucinda K.

    Worst pharmacy ever! they know all the rite aide folks are coming over here and they cant hire more…read morestaff? we were in the drive through so long an HOUR that our car died and the battery went out. The line is so bad that sheriffs watching it... THIS IS INSANE I swear to god there are days I much rather die than go on being treated like this. They dont care if you get your meds anyways.. they just give you a notice that its out of stock and basically its not their problem and yadda yadda SO what are we supposed to do just go without our medication and hope we dont die? UNBELIEVEALE!!!! I HATE WALLGREENS UPDATE:: despite the written prescription that says NO MYLAN they gave me the wrong meds and when I went to talk to them a black man name THADIUS at the counseling window, He started raising his voice at me when the manger was standing right there allowing him to talk to me like dirt and blame me..he claims that there is a sign to "check your meds before driving off. " My labels all had another medicine name I wasnt even picking up, yet they all said NO MYLAN & he gave me mylan anyways. There is no sign in the drive through and he continued to blame me and act hostile. rather than apologize for the mistake he raised his voice at me blaming me for everything.. I am writing corporate to have him fired. I only went there because I paid for delivery that stood me up 2 nights in a row. I had to go down there wait in the drive through for an hour, sick as a dog, just to be screamed at.

    DIFFICULT ENTRY! It's very complicated to get into this gas station and I would not recommend…read moremaking a left-hand turn to get in here. The gas station is also very tight when you pull up to pump gas. I got lucky and went at an off-time so I didn't have issues. However, I've been put through the wringer here before. Drinks are meh, service is decent, and the general vibes of the gas station are a little off. People seem grumpy, but whatever. I'll give this station kudos as it's off the 10 and not too far from a few drive-thru eateries if you're going on a trip.

The worker came up to me while I was in tears and said I've been in store too long . After I told him I was dealing with some tragic news he was very Uncompassionately rude and said I must buy the food and leave. I calmly said I'll take my business elsewhere,mad that i was not going to purchase the food i then was approached by him and two other employees. One was a younger guy that was threatening me and laughing at me. When he saw that I was not going to be scared by this little punk he then called cops. Thankfully the cops were more compassionate and said I did nothing wrong. And that was the end of it. But I highly recommend that no one gives their business to these rude ,uncompassionate, and unappreciated people. Still I was made to look like a bad guys with cops talking to me and many other customers looking at me. I should pursue this in court and make them pay.
