I use this station only occasionally now. I used to choose this Shell frequently, but then moved on…read moreto a better-priced station a bit farther away. But I am still appreciative of this location, since it's convenient sometimes, in that it's on the way, either to work, or to home. (This is located right across from Costco.)
For a station that is right in front of Costco Gas, though, you'd think the prices should be more competitive, but I often find it consistently higher than my pump of choice nowadays. So I am often baffled by that.
Recently, all the credit card readers at the pumps have been upgraded to new models, presumably with better technology. But that wasn't the case. First my credit card "got stuck", and I had to fiddle with it to get it back out. Next, it didn't read my card at all. It's just stuck at "Reading card..." for the longest time, then after maybe 2-3 minutes, it informed me to pay inside with the cashier.
It was raining slightly that day, so I was already a bit frustrated, and I just decided to leave all together. I don't usually like to interact with any cashier. I returned to the farther branch where I prefer to do my business usually.
In the end, this is the sole reason why I gave this spot 2 stars, because I actually specifically came here since it made sense, I was nearby, despite the higher gas prices. I was willing to pay more for convenience... But then it won't even take my card! Haha!
If it doesn't want my money, fine with me? Heh.
(I guess it is sometimes also quite busy, and it's hard to maneuver your car during rush hours, and the overall -kinda- small lot doesn't help. They do have a Subway attached, which is convenient if you ever wanna grab a quick meal in the same trip. I haven't really used this to my advantage, however.)
Will still keep this station in mind, but won't be my top choice.
