Snappy Convenience Center #7

I went there for subway. She did a horrible job with sandwich. Some of the veggies seemed they were not fresh. Wont go there again.

Do not bother getting your gas here.
The pump could not have been any slower; it easily took three times my normal time to fill the tank.
The windshield cleaners were completely missing. And, if they weren’t missing, I would have been out of luck anyway because the cleaning fluid was half frozen.
The pumps have a note saying that if you need more than $ 50 of gas, you need to go inside to pay. I was able to pay at the pump even though it cost $ 60 to fill my tank, so the warning wasn’t accurate. This is the only time I’ve ever seen this note which referenced that the gas station was merely enforcing an industry-​wide gas company requirement for consumer protection Why have I never seen this note if it’s an industry requirement? Me thinks this station has had an inordinate amount of fraud…

The subway here completely sucks! I’ve been there twice during the lunch hour where they were out of bread. How can you be out of bread during lunch? Shouldn’t you be making it as you go.
The manager seems to care more about his social life then the customers that come in. It’s poorly run and usually understaffed. You would think that when the manager see’s costumers standing there waiting he would help the poor young lady out who works there but instead he pretends like he is so busy and can’t help.
I’ve been to a lot of subways and have really never had a complaint… usually you know what your going to get… but at this one you never know what you’re walking into.
Don’t get caught wasting your time at a place that’s out of bread.
Terrible Terrible Terrible Customer Service.

No argument about $ 5 footlongs at Subway, 24÷7−365. That part is fine, though last time I wanted a quick sammich, the (only) counter chick had to saunter to the back room to fetch the tuna (at 11 a.m.), which was a little annoying, and made me a lil late. Conversely, if you go at 3 a.m., expect them to be out of tuna, meatballs, or anything else I’d eat if I weren’t drunk. No biggie.
Lots of gas pumps, and of course it’s ideally located adjacent to 90/​94/​Irving Park/​Pulaski, and it’s a Mobil, so the gas is slightly pricey, no surprise there; it just SEEMS cheap compared to the Shell across the street, which is usually 20 to 30 cents more per gallon, yet has the same owner, BTW (nothing like a neighborhood monopoly), but I think the Shell is closed, at least temporarily, now, and in any case has far more limited hours.
For the most part, the Dunkin’ is very basic (some Dunkins have on-​site bakeries, many do not). I can’t imagine anyone sitting for any length of time at one of the two tables in the place, consuming either Subway OR Dunkin’. And, as noted, except for the selection of sodas/​water and chips/​candy, don’t expect to find much of anything else in the place (why is it now, that gas stations find it more important to have 16 different bottled iced teas than, say, oil or antifreeze?). That’s not its intention… its’s an in-​and-​out spot, and for that, it’s just fine.

LIKE A MCDONALD’S THAT CHARGES EXTRA FOR BBQ SAUCE…
The Mobil Station here makes me LIVID. They have two prices at the pump, one for people paying cash and a higher one for people using credit cards. I call bullshit.
Not only is this against Visa and MasterCard’s merchant agreements, it’s also BAD BUSINESS. Yes I realize the credit card companies charge a fee. Yes, I realize margins are tough in that business. I get it. But by focusing on every nickel and dime on a single transaction they fail to see the lifetime value of a customer. So congratulations, you’ve made a extra $ 1.40 and lost a customer for life. Was it worth it?
P. S. The Dunkin Donuts here sucks.
End rant.

Thank you — thank you for opening this station so conveniently for me and the others having to get on ⁹⁰⁄₉₄ going north early weekday mornings. The Dunkin Donuts inside this place rocks. They’ll give you a large coffee for less than $ 2 ($ 1.97 to be exact) PLUS they have a punch card for buy 10 get 1 free. I used to frequent the Dunkin on Elston and Addison, but they are more expensive (however they do have a drive-​thru which this place does not).
The gas here is pretty cheap too. I think it’s odd though that they charge less a gallon if you pay cash versus if you use your credit/​debit card. I know merchants get charged fees when patrons use a credit card, but I didn’t think they could charge different amounts per how you are paying.
Oh — one other thing — this place has a Subway too which is kinda cool.
The only thing I don’t care for is that their store items (like soda, milk, eggs) are a bit lacking. But that is understandable since they had to have a bunch of room for the Subway and Dunkin Donuts.

Gas station, Subway, Dunkin Donuts all in one. Gas, food, cigs are about the only things you can buy here. There are tables in there but the harsh florescent lighting makes me want to get out fast as possible. I usually just grab my food and go. Subway and gas are available 24 hours. Gas is about 10 cents cheaper than the Shell station across the street. It’s about a block from my house and my Subway intake has gone up exponentially since it has opened.
