Shell

Well, so far so good here!
I just moved to this area from k-​town. This is right across the street from me so VERY convenient!
The staff in the evening is a bit harsh in temperament choosing to speak to each other far more than to the customers. Sad by hey — Guess they get the job done — right?
Pretty clean each time I have been in here.
Over all great place!

Hmmm, where to begin here. The lot surrounding the store is poorly designed. Feels cramped no matter where you’re at in the lot. Has gas pumps literally a few steps from one of the entrances. Inside the store is just as poorly configured. Very tight space, cluttered shelces with unused incentory at the end of all rows. The floors were filthy. Staff terse & rude.

I had none of the problems other reviewers have noted. It is true the pumps are configured in a strange way, but it makes sense given the size of the lot. Also, the guy at the counter gave me four quarters for my dollar when I asked him, no questions asked. I was headed up to Evanston, and needed change for the meters.
Btw, one of the one-​star reviews is racist.

Asked for change for vacuums. Received attitude. Went to use said vacuum and it had literally no suction. Job one of a vacuum.
I am only giving two stars do to the lack of full service stations in the area and adjacent subway. If the shell was as good as the subway, we’d all be better off

I always avoid this station because it is configured so poorly. it’s hard to get in/​out of there, and other people are parked at pumps in ways that block passage.
The other day I had the misfortune of being on E and this was the only place between where I was and home — and I just didn’t want to go out of my way at all.
so I stopped, was immediately aggravated when someone in front of my swung his car out at an angle nearly cutting off all traffic around him — fucking idiot!
anyway — I survived the urge to accost and kill him — get to an open pump, and the interface is painfully slow. I put my credit card in, wait for an eternity before it prompts for my zip, enter that, another eternity while it ‘authorizes’, finally, it request for me to remove nozzle and select grade — which i do with lightening speed — i wait, repeatedly squeezing nozzle handle — nothing is happening — i tap my chosen grade a few times squeeze a few times, tap grade a few times, squeeze a few times and am just about to give up — when oh — fuel starts to flow… but again — soooo slowly. I really needed to fill up because I had a lot of driving to do the next day — but slow gas pumps are just one of my pet peeves i guess — and this one started off bad with slow interface.
i barely survived 2 gallons pumped and had to go. I hope i remember this forever, so that i never, ever, ever make the mistake of going here again.
i see someone mentioned that with 10 gallon purchase you get a free water — which seems reasonable as a person could become dehydrated in the amount of time required to actually receive 10 gallons of fuel from this place.
ughhhhh!

The price was right when I went here on Sunday, but I had a problem with the clerk. Either he didn’t understand English (doubt it) or was just being a knucklehead when he insisted I use the inside terminal to swipe my credit card to get gas. This was even after I explained why I wanted to use the outside gas tank he acted like I didn’t understand English? However, I did get back at him when I pushed over the bubble gum container that spilled all over upon leaving! Of course he had to respond by calling me the b word! How’s that for customer service?
That”ll teach you to play a power game with me, now go back to your bi bim bop and shut the f up!!!

Convenient, clean, and what i like the most is they are cheaper as far as prices are concerned than other shells in the same vicinity… go figure ^^

It’s a little hard to maneuver with the way they have the pumps set up, but I suppose that’s the best way to fit the most into this small urban location. Pleasantly surprised to see that with any fill-​up of at least ten gallons, you can grab a free water bottle or small coffee — ALWAYS.

Rude idiots work here. Not friendly at all
