I downgraded my original review by one star because the pumps now have music and ads that blare from the pumps while you are filling up. It is beyond annoying and LOUD!
I will reiterate as I mentioned in my original review that I personally never come here myself because I hate pumping my own gas. There are plenty of other nuisance chores that I have no trouble doing but as long as I can find a gas station with attendants I will gladly pay more to have someone else do the filling.
That said, my husband disagrees with me and he appreciates the lower prices here so if I am with him, we sometimes end up here and he fills the car up.
It is still difficult to get in and out the station as it abuts a busy rotary and the way the pumps are so closely situated to one another it can be a nightmare to get in and out of the station. It's an accident waiting to happen.
We have been here twice in recent months and both times there were problems with the pumps...once the pump would not release the credit card and another time, the pump ended up having to be adjusted by the person inside the little convenience store so that it would function. Often times you are unable to get a receipt without going into the store as they seem to not do a great job of refilling the receipt paper at the pump.
One of the complaints from others in my town with which I heartily agree is that this gas station sits on a prime piece of property which is literally across from beautiful Hingham Harbor.
We have enough gas stations in town and would love to see this place go away and become something more attractive and fitting the location. It would be a great spot for a small specialty shop, bakery, sandwich shop etc...anything but yet another gas station with a crummy convenience store.
I wish Massachusetts was a state like New Jersey and Oregon where pump-it-yourself gas stations are illegal.
NJ and Oregon rightly believe that since fuel is flammable, it's best to leave the job of pumping it to an attendant. Having gas stations served by attendants also creates jobs.
So one star for lower gas prices and that's all this place gets. Ditch the music and ads blaring out of the pumps please.
PS There is nothing in the depressing convenience store that anyone really needs (in my opinion) but junk food and overpriced odds and ends. read more
