All road trips include a gas station stop, and for us, this was it. Big Apple is a typical convenience store and gas station. The store has sales and specials, mostly "2 for" a certain price. I bought two Vitamin Waters for $3 when one Vitamin Water alone was $3.09. I'm glad the clerk let me grab another one without having to wait in line again. I was disappointed that the store doesn't have a soft drink/soda fountain. They do have plenty of bottled drinks, including beer, wine, and even liquor.

Location is probably the best feature of this business. Unfortunately the gas prices are some of the highest you'll find in the area, but I guess you're paying for convenience? I know I feel that way most of the time. There have been a few times I have run in for a beverage and in those times, I have found the staff to be friendly and prompt. I have never found a broken pump or a closed pump and there are always plenty of open spots. I have ALWAYS been able to get a receipt at the pump :) Never had paper run out on me. It is a large location which is great, but also can lead to chaos with people coming and going from every direction - watch for cars and pedestrians - DRIVE SLOWLY All in all, I am glad this location is here, I just wish the prices were a little more competitive.

The - as of writing this - three vacuums are on the left hand side facing the building out back by the trees. It was $3 for five minutes; the tap to pay worked without a problem; I was able to hoover the interior and trunk of my very sandy car with no issue. I did not gas up here, I did not go into the building, I did not use the car wash. But being able to quickly and reliably (and, in my experience, safely) hoover my car without queuing for a half hour or needing to buy something first or needing quarters was appreciated!

Today I filled my tank at Rusty's market. As I have always done, for decades, I used the hold-open…read moreclip. When the tank was full, the shut-off mechanism failed to trigger and gas began overflowing from my tank. I pulled the nozzle out and it was still stuck in the open position, so I unclipped it. Meanwhile, gas had splashed out all over the place, including on my pants and boots. There was a big puddle of gas, so I went in to tell them about it. A dude at the register finally looked up from his cell phone when I said "HI" loudly. I told him what happened, and he said "No worries." Surprised by his underresponsiveness, I asked if this happens a lot. He said, "It's a random thing." From the very faraway look in his eyes and his lack of awareness that there was actually a problem, it was easy to deduce that he was pretty wasted. I asked him if I should just leave or does something maybe need to be done, and he said very casually that I could go and they'd take care of it. But he wasn't moving. He had zero awareness or concern that if I were to leave, the next person who pulls into that spot would be stepping into a big puddle of gasoline. At that point a manager comes out of the back of the store with some urgency and asks what that gas smell is. I said it's me, and I told him what happened. He said they'd take care of it and I could just go. I was stunned they were both more eager to have me leave than to ask me questions. I was getting the sense that this happens a lot. The manager took the register dude with him and out they went. I stood there and waited a bit until I could see them pouring the emergency safety "sand" from the barrel into the puddle. I said to the manager that I was concerned about starting my car, because I was afraid I'd cause an explosion. He said "This isn't the type of gas that will ignite. It's not the gas that will ignite, it's only the fumes." Given that fumes were coming off of my person, I wasn't entirely sure it was wise to start the car, but I did trust that the manager would know what he was talking about in this regard. So I started my car and left. Thanks for your concern, fellas. Later, after walking with my neighbor who is a former safety inspector, I was encouraged to file a report with the police. She said there should have been an incident report taken at the gas station. She said they should have asked about my personal condition. They could have offered me paper towels to dry some of the gas off of my clothing. They could have asked if I'd gotten any gas in my eyes or mouth. I went to the police station and made my report. The officer I spoke with said he'd go speak with the fire department, too. I will not give Rusty's any more business. Who knows how often they inspect their equipment. I don't trust them. Their lack of appropriate response to the problem was freaky.

I think he was a manager - I'm gonna have a chat with his punk as__. Isn't there more to this review that flaming Irving - yes indeedie - the workers are wonderful - but Irving was the hundred and fourty second gun in the west - Irving -- sung high -- Irving sung low. Today there was a new recruit that furrowed his brow when I requested a breakfast sandwich - they're cheap and I feel kinda guilty ordering them but I make good balancing choices in the fields as I harvest and eat roots and cucumbers and cucurbits of all shapes and sizes. The town of coffee, although a bit trashed by sloppy people who can't press and pour without making a disaster of a mess - it's $1.07 and you can bring your own container of most any size, however, I stay with the 80s McDonald's non biodegradable foam they provide - which I do prefer, the cardboard doesn't hold heat well and is easily corrupted by my after work beer. The Beer Cave is a happening spot, all the way in the back and you can purchase and pound anytime of day, just not between 1am and 5am which is reasonable and they sell booze and wine and it's at all so very cheap - I could easily develop a bit of habit here in Maine - let's hope not. The magazine rack has local periodicals that cost a lot more than they deserve which isn't Cumberlands fault, their communist rags are so self serving to the posh Portland people, makes my stomach turn every Sunday morning, so I'll grab the freebies and read about Da Bearz and other high school sporting teams. Chips, dips plastic clad pies all of which I pass on but I've wanted a few gas station egg salad sandwiches which will serve you well in a pinch - that's all for now fine citizens of planet earth - until next time -

The large coffee will cost $3.12 w/ tax, but will set you free from caffeines calling and with a long day ahead & the quality of the beans used, it's worth the extra dough ray me. Hot foods inside also add to the star points, as a traveler - a warm slice of pizza (perhaps a bit aged in the day) beats a cold turkey wrap. Road nomad tip: just Dunkin your pizza in your coffee for a hotter and faster breakfast after filling your tank and continuing the road. Clean outside and in - Mainers are typically good about not littering, some more than others and a few loosies can escape your clutches on a windy day, so there is a margin for litter error.

They have hot and cold deli sandwiches available. They also have wedge fries that are oven baked. Family favorites; Sonny's Supreme and the classic italian. I also also love their breakfast sandwich options. They have a cooler of beverages. My favorite is Fresca. A soda I never have at home and I soda I always buy when I can at a deli. Pairs perfectly. Don't sleep on the sweets for sale by the register. The cookies and whoopie pies are usally tasty. The staff seems consistent - hardworking, customer service oriented and nice to interact with.
