Employee was not wearing a mask. This is against the law and unsafe. Also pump was broken but no sign stating this.

Trying to steal change from your customers by putting $19.73 on a gas pump instead of the $20 I gave is Fucking wrong.

This station was kind of iffy before but has gone WAY downhill over the past few months. Cement is…read moresticky and smelly from urine at the pumps. There are no paper towels and window washing tubs are nearly empty and always dirty. The garbage containers are all overflowing. I have seen employees smoking out front of the mini mart. I have reported these issues to management but nothing seems to change. They say it's because of the homeless in the area although neighboring businesses don't seem to have the same level of deterioration. I refuse to use this gas station in future -- even if I can't access my Safeway Loyalty points. Not worth it!!

My wife and I stop for gas today, Saturday 8/30 at 1:15pm and the cashier, this ladie on her late…read more40s, at least she looks like that or even older, who refused to give me her name, first gave my wife the wrong change and tried to avoid it but after recounted the register money she agreed to to her mistake??? And then unless I dropped $10 bill somewhere on the gas station premises which I look around it, I am petty sure I gave $35 and she claimed I only gave her $25. I'm not making a big deal over $10 but her miscounting cash twice with the same customers just imagine through the day. And then her manager step in and also refuse to give me her name but act surprised when I told him she gave my wife wrong change. I am making a formal complaint with the corporation but double check the charges and changes.

Quality/Quantity - Good to see crime is lower here with less things locked up…read more Also noticed that Costco last week changed from Pepsi to Coke, see pictures. Bought a bunch of stuff I do NOT need. Looks like an $8 theme today, lol. See pictures. As this is a late review, I just left the Carson City, NV Costco and they have not started marking down their stuff yet. But you already know that because you are following :) Decent selection of micro brews, but not really local, so I skipped. Atmosphere - Overall consistent. Nothing too different that stood out. They have most, if not all the departments - Tire, food court, gas station, pharmacy, optical, hearing aids, etc. I should have checked their gas prices... Service - Self service. Price - Reasonable, inexpensive. But I always end up buying stuff I do NOT need..... So for me it was a little wasteful. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 1994. Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club. Now you are the 5th largest retailer in the world and #10 on the Fortune 500. 804 warehouses worldwide, with 558 in the US. 1980 IPO. 1993 Price Club and Costco merger. 1997 Rebrand all locations to Costco. 2020 105.5 million members.

They totally have gas here…read more And chips too Sometimes it's dark, usually at night. But that's okay...

"If gas gets any higher, I'm cutting a hole through the floorboard and Flintstoning this bitch."…read more~@FillWerrell on Twitter During the daylight hours this is the best place in Santa Cruz to buy cheap gasoline. Valero is typically $.05 to .10 cheaper than the rest of the stations in town, and that's good when you're living on a budget. There's almost never a line and you have the Corner Store right there if you need road trip food like beef jerky, sunflower seeds, Pringles, and iced tea. You can also pick up firewood, windshield washer fluid and other assorted sundries as well. However at night this place becomes a hobo boxing ring. Maybe it's just me, but I've seen more than one fight between homeless people here. I'm thinking about selling tickets to watch the matches. It might go something like this: "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the main event of the night, here at the Valero Gas Station in beautiful midtown Santa Cruz, California! Presiding over this match we have our fine Valero Boxing Association judges and the referee, who is also the cashier, John...(pause for applause) Now in the red corner weighing in at 142 pounds- 145 if he hasn't had a bath in a few weeks, with a professional record of 37 wins, 27 by way of biting off the other guy's nose and 5 loses the current Valero Station Champion, from Torrence, California but living in Tijuana Mexico, please welcome Armandooo 'Mondo' Garciaaaaaa (pause for applause), his opponent in the blue corner foaming at the mouth and weighing in at 143 pounds with a professional record of 45 wins, 38 knockouts and 3 loses, from Scotts Valley, California, please welcome 'Craaaaazy' Shaaaane Jeffersooooon! LET'S GET RRRRREADY TO RRRRUMBLE!" Needless to say the place is a little scary at night. Save yourself the trauma of possibly seeing a homeless man with his pants down and get your gas during the daylight hours. Just sayin'.

So a few years ago I was homeless on the streets and I had a little dog and it was pouring rain I'd…read morealways been a customer and never stole was always cordial but it was raining so I sat outside the front on the bench for a few minutes while the rain went away, apparently the manager was not okay with that told me to get my kind and my piece of s*** ass out of away from his store. I said okay sorry and left and left it back couple years in between on and off I ran into him and I was off the streets and I was not what he had this first impression about me and we were cool and we were cordial. This morning I drove up to the car vacuum to clean out my children's trash and to clean my car a little bit but there were no paper towels so instead I walked over to the other trash can or they had paper towels and he followed me out there yelling at me telling me I can't throw my garbage in his trash can even though it was a small bag I was like I asked him isn't that what the trash cans are for at the vacuum so I could throw the trash away comes out of my car so I can vacuum it he said no no you're just trying to dump all your trash in there and make a mess everywhere not one single thing was left behind not one mess nothing I tried to apologize and brush it off and say look I was under the impression that trash cans were for trash apparently they're not and he kept cutting me off shutting me down and telling me to bounce I don't know what his issue is I don't know who he thinks I am I don't know what he thinks I am but what I am is a single mother of two who just got a job and I am trying to support my children and all I was doing before I went to go have some dental surgery done was get the trash out and then after my dental surgery I am going to go work at 10 hour day at my job so I don't know what his issue is I don't know what but this is not the first time he's done this to me over the years in this should be the last. So what I am curious if I can get any feedback on this is I will most likely in the future see him stepping to my store as I am being the cashier and at service for him I think I should take the bigger person and just leave it be or kill him with kindness and subtly remind him that I was that person that he was speaking to like that what do you guys think?

what a waste of time. They have the Apple Pay logo on there gas pumps, but it doesn't actually work…read morewith Apple Pay. You have to go inside to ise apple pay. Also the rotten Robbie saver club is truly rotten. They time out your PIN after a couple months of inactivity such that you have to reset everything. this involves a 15 minute diversion in your life making contact with their Technical Support and resetting of the passcode through their phone tree. shop a local, locally owned gas station, such as todd's across the street (gas & shop). hias has the brand new blue pumps that do accept Apple Pay at the pump itself. His rate for paying cash is the same as rotten Rob's cost if you use their saver club, so there really isn't much sense in having their card linked to your bank account that way.

After arriving to Santa Cruz from Sacramento in a moving van, we needed to fill the old gas tank…read morefor the return trip. Found this gas station near our unloading point and was happy to see the "cheaper" prices! But let's face it, gas just isn't cheap anymore, but at least this place offered lower prices than some nearby gas stations. Having to fill a truck size tank, made paying at the pump a little bit easier. Writing reviews about a gas station is not likely to be read by most people who are only searching for a nearby station and not particularly interested in individual experiences.  But as a loyal Yelper, I always feel compelled to write something about a business that I patronize.   As far as gas stations go, they fit the bill as being a good, solid filling station. Mini Mart within the building, a spacious lot with multiple pumps available, and conveniently located on a busy street corner where they provided cheaper than usual gas prices.
