I've had numerous problems with this store. I'm trying to figure out why I keep going back in there, today it was because I was craving soda. I'm still craving soda because I wasn't able to get one. It must be incompetent cashier day since this cashier was dumber than the one I dealt with at Trucchi's earlier.
I go in and get a cup for my pepsi which I'd been craving for awhile, put the ice in and noticed they'd changed the ice when they changed the soda machine, but it was still good ice.. so I was happy. Added the pepsi and took a sip.. it tasted funny.. took another sip to be sure.. yep, still tasted funny, assuming they mixed up the diet pepsi and the regular. I can't drink diet because of an allergy to the additive. Dumped that out, rinsed out the cup and put just a little pepsi in without ice, took a sip.. yeah, definitely didn't taste right. dumped it and instead of trying the diet, I figured I'd try coke instead.. its the same thing.. Coke comes out clear. They're batting a thousand with me today. Dumped the clear coke in the sink. Tossed the cup at that point and grabbed a smaller cup and filled with ice and sprite. took a sip, tasted fine. not what I wanted but I wanted a cool drink.
Get to the register and checked out the lottery tickets. Aside for 5 of the number (I forgot what it was now) and the kid looks at me like I have 2 heads. I'm like.. scratch tickets? next to you.. he still looks like he has no clue why hes there. so I repeat myself.. 5 of number whatever and this soda. Hes scratching his head trying to figure out something. I was just like ":oh forget it" and walked out. Theres so many people looking for jobs, maybe they should hire someone who has a clue.
In the past I've gone there for soda and scratch tickets to be waited on by rude employees, waited for 5 minutes once for an employee to start the gas pump when I had adequate amount on my card and I shouldn't have had to wait at all. Another time I had to wait but I had children in the car and I wasn't leaving them or dragging them into the store so I left and went to the Mobil down the road, which is what I usually do now for gas.
The customer service in this store sucks now, theres one girl that used to be there during the day, she probably got smart and left, which is too bad for Speedway because she was the only one who seemed to know what she was doing and she managed to do her job AND be nice to the customers. Tonight was my last time. read more
