BP

In addition to the hooligans and drunks who frequent this BP station on weekends, I’d like to add one more thing to the small list of things I’m not too fond of at this BP. If you are like me and drive past this BP a lot, then you’d agree, it’s not the cheapest pump to fuel up at.
It’s always up to around 5 to 10 cents dearer to fill up here compared to most others. For example, tonight, it is 149.9 cents whereas most other places are around the 143.9 cents mark for unleaded. It is one of the only petrol stations I’ve seen that are in the high 140 + cents, or over 150 cents per litre. What a rip!
I’d say its prices are strategically set higher because of its inner city location and they know they can afford to put prices higher as there will always have customers around who’d want to pay it anyways.

Just a warning to those with families out there: you probably don’t want to visit this station late at night, or even any time of night if it’s Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Located near the city, BP Milton brings flocks of drunks to its store, craving snacks after a night out clubbing in the CBD or Fortitude Valley.
During the day, it’s largely fine. You’ll even see a high proportion of businessmen filling up their Beamers on a lunch break. On the other hand, I recently saw a drunk guy in his late 20s stumbling around here at around 9pm on a Thursday, talking aggressively to a scared family that were hastily trying to shove their kids in their SUV and get the hell out of there.
I don’t know how the staff here deal with such types — the staff always seem polite to me, joyful even; they must employ saints.
