The cashier was counting cigarette packs and I stood there about 3 minutes waiting on him to finish. It was $7.99 for the tiny bottle of Nyquil, but I needed it so I got it anyway. The cashier rang it up at almost $11. I said that was wrong, the price said $7.99. He mumbled something I couldn't understand and just looked at me. I motioned to walk back to the aisle with me, and he did, and I showed him the price. He mumbled some more. I told him to just give me the right price and I'd be good. We went back to the register--I expected him to credit me a couple of bucks. He reached me back my $10 and took the Nyquil and walked away. I stood there a minute, then motioned to the Nyquil. He mumbled something else that was obviously negative, something about "you wanted a refund." I said no, I just wanted a credit of a couple of bucks to get the advertised price. He said whatever it rings up to IS the price. I left and bought a bigger bottle of Nyquil at the Thorton's for less money, and had a much nicer cashier. It's not the buck or two... it's the attitude that drove me away. If your employees aren't empowered to make purchases right, you must not trust them very much, and if you don't trust them, you shouldn't have them working for you.

They are a variety of things to choose from like chicken salad , pasta salad, and so on They also have breakfast burritos or even a donut . The store itself is clean and the woman at the counter was friendly enough . You can pretty much buy what you need in a pinch here however the prices aren't cheap. It's convenient because we live in the area and on days I just want a fountain drink this is my go to.

I don't get up this way often but I intentionally went to whole foods because they're having a HUGE sale on ice cream. I specifically went for the Jeni's ice cream because it was half off and I could justify that. But I also ended up getting some orange chicken, Asian green beans and teriyaki tofu from the hot bar. Which was really good! I forget how nice the salad bar, hot bar and bakery are. I went down the baking aisle and saw guittard red cocoa powder as well as regular. Whole foods does have items you can't find at any other store unless you order from the website or from Amazon. The employees are always super friendly and helpful.

I'll just go the extra couple miles beyond work to fill up. That's one of the big adjustments I've had to make with country living: gas stations aren't on every corner. You've really got to plan your route(s) the days you fill up. Anyway. Yep, this is my go-to station. Thankfully, the prices here are consistent with the lower gas prices of the area, it's an easy location to get to from an intersection, never too crowded, quick, and clean. The coffee isn't that bad either (yeah, Starbucks is next door but I have no issues with gas station coffee machines).

Never in my lifetime had I ever predicted needing a cowboy hat, but finding myself at the World…read moreEquestrian Games in Lexington, KY, I came to the conclusion that wearing a cowboy hat was absolutely essential, though not at all for the reason one might guess. How I came to this unexpected conclusion goes something like this: Horses. Lots of horses. At the World Equestrian Games, horses are celebrities, people are not. I was inundated in horses, and wherever they were moving, everything else stopped. Being a suburban kid, seeing one horse for me is a novelty, let alone a hundred. Now this is how you know I am American: horses = cowboys. In most other parts of the world, horses = top hats and jodhpurs, but here in the U.S., the younger, more rebellious nation, the culture of horses is invariably linked with that of cowboys and the Wild, Wild West. At least to someone as uneducated as me, it is. So I already had cowboys on the brain due to my environment at the horse park. There weren't any cowboys to be seen, but I was certain they were around somewhere just out of sight, most likely carousing at the saloon to the strains of honkytonk pian-y or ropin' cattle on the back forty. Come 10am on the first day, the sun is now high enough to beat on me mercilessly for hours on end. It has been a few years since I have been outdoors for an extended period of time, and I was already doing the calculations: if the sun is this brutal now, this is going to be a VERY long 29 3/4 days. "This sucks! I need a cowboy hat!" Come hell or high water, I was buying a cowboy hat at lunch time. I asked a local where one might find the local cowboy hat store. He had no idea, and was surprised I actually asked such a weird question. When I suggested that it might be because he didn't have horses he told me he kept eight. "There is no way you have horses!" I told him. "If you did, you would know where to get a cowboy hat." He smiled and shrugged good-naturedly in a way I eventually learned was so typical of Kentucky. "People don't wear those around here. You're thinkin' of Texas, maybe." Clearly, he was wrong. I was certain that Kentucky retail had to be veritably oozing with cowboy hats. At lunch, my friends asked where I was going. "I'm going up to that gas station to buy a cowboy hat." Some of them were puzzled, while others laughed uproariously. It was generally implied that I had already gotten too much sun and was now seeing cowboy hat mirages at every oasis on the horizon. When they suggested it was somewhat ludicrous that I expect a gas station of all places to have western millinery, I insisted: "This is Kentucky! EVERYWHERE sells cowboy hats!" Never mind this was my first day in Kentucky and had yet to set foot anywhere besides the hotel. In retrospect, I can't really say why I was so certain that this gas station in the middle of nowhere sold cowboy hats, but there they were! Not just a few, but an entire rack of cowboy hats! I found the perfect white mesh cowboy hat and a white pair of fat southern sheriff shades to match. What makes this so much funnier to me is that the entire rest of the month I spent in Kentucky, I never again saw anywhere at all that had cowboy hats for sale. I just lucked out in my ignorance picking the one place at random that did on the first try. Feeling ten times the man I was when I walked into the gas station, due to both my new hat and overwhelmingly justified righteousness, I strutted back on down the hill to where my friends were waiting. Those previously puzzled were now the ones laughing uproariously, and vice versa. In my best accent and triumphant smile I gave them my best "Now what we've got here is a *failure* to COMMUNICATE!" It was like a whole new day in that glorious hat! It was easily ten degrees cooler under the shade of the cowboy hat. Not only that, people were nicer. I was regularly greeted by friends and strangers alike with "Hey, cowboy!" without the slightest trace of mockery. And once I even got the southern belle behind the concession stand batting her eyelashes at me as I walked by: "Yooohooo! Heyy, cowboyy! Ayew wanna buyyyy somethin'?" I told her the instant I needed Karamel Korn and vodka lemonade I would come to see her first. When the storm clouds rolled in, the genius design of my hat directed the water completely away from my face. Simply put, Everything was better with the cowboy hat. So if you find yourself in Kentucky, and in need of a little weather protection, or a little fashion flavor, or just a change in perspective, Shell has got you covered.

Being a foodie from Vegas, I highly recommend this locals convenient store & have been coming here for 5 years now. During the horse sales at Fastig-Tipton, I always stop in here as it's on the way & order the same thing everytime. Two Country Ham sandwiches, American cheese, onion, lettuce, fresh tomato from the backyard garden on white bread w/ mayo. A bag of Funyons & can of Ale 8 for only $10.49. Trust me, Robbie knows how to make a sandwich, it's loaded w/ meat. They have a variety of sandwiches from Roast Beef to Bologna to Pimento Cheese. They also sell beer & other beverages, snacks, chips, candy, lottery tickets, even Hannah's Pickled Eggs. Outdoor seating or grab a booth inside on the right w/ all the locals & say hi. They'd have a solid 5 stars, but I don't think many regulars around these parts use Yelp. Being an Indian woman from the city, I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place walking in here. I thoroughly enjoy the company, friendly banter, food & catching up on racehorse politics, about the Derby & latest news & events. Walk in with an open mind & learn something new & meet some good ol locals here next time you are in Lexington or traveling through KY. It's worth the drive & surrounded by beautiful farms.
