Chevron-Texaco

This place is terrible. Stopped in to use the atm to get cash and buy some scratchers for my cousins on Christmas. The clerk told me to use the machine behind me with no further instructions, so I put in a 20 I just got out of the atm that only dispenses 20.00 bills and I wanted to get 5 1.00 scratchers, the 1.00 scratchers were number 22, so I put in the number 2 twice, and it dispensed 1 20.00 scratcher, which was number 2, then I realized this number pad went all the way to 22, which typically number pads only go 0 – 9, so I brought this up to the cashier and she said «that’s your luck, take it» and I said no I wanted the 1.00 scratchers to put in Christmas cards, and she just shrugged and said that’s you luck and said the same thing happened to another one of her customers, so I put in another 20 I just got out of the atm, and I press the correct 22 button 5 times for my 5 1.00 scratchers, and the machine doesn’t give change!!! So I’m stuck spending 40.00 on scratchers and now don’t have enough 20.00 bills to put in the cards with the scratchers. I was so upset and told the cashier that she should explain the instructions better and she told me I should read them next time. I’m sorry but if what happened to me is a common thing, it’s obviously a problem that should be addressed and explained, but really they just want to rip you off and trick you in to spending more money there. I’ll be writing a letter to corporate about this to get my money back.

If I can give zero stars I would. What’s the point of having pay at the pump ifs out can’t pay at the pump. Rude cashier. Buy elsewhere.

Price is fair not too bad, i come here cause they got the snacks and arizona tea :)) normal gas station nothing special.

Come here alot of the x large raspberry ice tea for 99 cents. Can’t go wrong with that deal in this economy and I get flamin hot funyions!

Just a gas station. Nothing special. Connected to jack in the box so that’s pretty cool. Usually pretty clean and the squeegees always have water/​cleaner and paper towels. Good location right by the 5 and 91 freeway. 1 of 3 gas stations at the intersection of magnolia and la Palma. They’re all about the same price.

Horrible pumps with grafitti on screens and so poorly maintained that screens can’t be read. Will never use this station again until they use some of their profits to maintain the pumps better. Also rude customer service inside store.

I usually avoid getting gas at this location because they are usually 10 cents or more higher than any others in the neighborhood.
What else can I say about a gas station that hasn’t been said?

I see everyone else has written 4 or 5 star reviews for this station. I just cannot understand that.
I live 2 blocks from this station where I have lived for 20+ years. There are actually 3 gas stations at this intersection of Magnolia & La Palma:
The Unocal station with wild-​eyed workers who always seem pissed off about something (and their gas is more expensive).
The Valero/​Mobil/​Kool Aid Stand station which recently reopened after spending about $ 75 on a «remodel». I wouldn’t trust this to actually be gasoline.
And… this Texaco station which is completely overrun with homeless people approaching everyone for handouts. Seriously… this is OUT OF CONTROL. Get some security on the premises, you cheap bastards!
I can take care of myself. I’m a 56 year old man and no wimp… I can take out a crack whore with one elbow. Today, I was approached by THREE SEPERATE PEOPLE asking for money and had to blow them off quickly.
However…
I feel bad for people like the 70-​something woman who was pumping her own gas and getting hit up by each of these same three homeless people. She was obviously uncomfortable. In one case, I walked over and asked the homeless woman to leave this lady alone. The homeless woman told me to «go fuck myself», but the older woman did thank me.
This is an obvious ongoing problem here. The cops are not around and the employees inside just watch out the window as this happens all the time. Is this entertaining for them or something? You can park here like I did and see the way the homeless people stake out the folks as they pull in for gas… some wait at the bus stop, some wait by the dumpsters, some circle the sidewalk by the air & water station. When a customer pulls in, they see who can get to them quickest and look the saddest. I’m sure the people who own this station and the employees all know what’s happening and are happy to just look the other way.
My business in downtown Los Angeles was a target for homeless people, too. I spent good money on security and made sure to call the cops all the time for even the smallest annoyance by the homeless. After a while, the homeless left me and my customers alone. This station needs to do this, and do it now before it gets worse.
They’ll always sell gas here because they are a good looking big gas station with a good name and a Jack in The Box included. Imagine how much more they would sell if they made their premises comfortable for their customers by HIRING SOME SECURITY. And please do it before someone gets hurt… I swear, I’m gonna run over one of these assholes one day.

Update: Thank you for fixing ! :)

Uhhhh…this place is NOT closed. I get gas here every week, and was surprised to see that I couldn’t check-​in this morning. WTH?
Couldn’t even continue my tip streak on price reporting!
Tried to edit business info but it wouldn’t let me.
Open this page up again please since it’s very misleading to say it’s closed when it is, in fact, open :(

Cool gas station. Has a jack in the crack in the lobby of the lobby where u pay… Nice.

I believe Texaco is the best gas there is.
This location just makes the pot even sweeter because its conveniently located next to a fast food place and a cute mini mart. I always feel safe filling up here. The place is well lit and It’s on a fairly busy street. This place is also located near the Buena Park «mall» if you wanna call it a mall and 5 freeway. It’s perfect… I shop, I fill up, pick up a lotto ticket and some coffee from the mini mart and i hop on the freeway to spread the love baby.

Nice place… Gas prices are comparable, gas has techron, has a jack in the box inside, has an ATM, and lotto. I would by gas again from them again.

This has a fast food restaurant and a mini mart onsite!!!

Well stocked shelves, friendly counter attendant (nice gal) –Shares the store with a Jack in the box, accessible location along the intersection of La Palma and Magnolia Blvd.
