I was traveling thru the area during the recent holiday and needed some fuel to complete my trip. Since I carry a Speedy Rewards card and had money on my Cash Card, I pulled in to this station to 'top 'er off' before going on my merry and festive way. The store was clean, inside and out.
The card reader at the pump was not working, so I had to go inside to have the pump turned on. This is a pre-pay station, so it took another trip inside to retrieve my receipt. I was headed inside anyway, because I wanted a drink for the road.
On a side note, and in no way is this disparaging of the store, some bozo in a BMW shot into the pump position as I was trying to maneuver to the same spot. Normally, I just let it go and find a different pump (which is exactly what I did in this case). Said bozo proceeded to tell a sob story, trying to scam me out of some money. A mobile pan-handler, he went from patron to patron until he finally got someone to give him money. Of course, even though he parked at a pump, once he got the money, he & his girlfriend left without making a purchase. read more
