Chevron

Gas access is easy lots of pumps.
I’m on the road all day and generally stop at Chevron stations to use the bathroom. This ladies room is awful. Dirty bathroom, the door doesn’t close all the way and you can’t lock the door, no seat covers either.
I definitely won’t be stopping here again, many better stations near by.

This gas station serves Seattles Best coffee (which I find delicious) and has a cool milkshake machine. However, I’m not the one that’s going to clean it when the employee was standing there watching me and my siblings figure out why the machine wouldn’t work. She seriously told me I had to clean the machine! It’s not my job to do that!

Yes gas is more expensive but it’s a chevron kinda should already expect that. But the employee’s is what makes the difference I enjoy the small talk and friendly service I always get. The store is also Clean and the bathrooms a always at its best which matters when I stop by when my son happens to need to use it.

Went in to get gas. Used my 20 cent per gallon credit I earned at Safeway. When I went to pump the gas the hose started to leak all over so I immediately put it back in place. Went in to ask to let them know what happened and to get the the 20 cent per gallon moved to a different pump. They refused to do it. It would of been around a $ 3 savings. I know it’s not much. It’s just the principal of it all. Own up to your mistake. Use to go here all the time. Not anymore.

American Express credit card was «skimmed» at the pump. American Express saw the fraudulent charges and quickly denied them. Next time, I will pay inside.

What was supposed to be a quick car wash ended up not being so quick after all. I drove through and inserted my money into the machine which clearly stated that it takes $ 1, $ 5, and $ 10 dollar bills. I insert two $ 1 and then a $ 5 but it wasn’t reading the $ 5. I thought the bill got stuck.
So I drive through the wash and go inside. I inform the attendant that my $ 5 got stuck in the machine. He replies with, «oh, the machine only takes $ 1 bills.» He doesn’t offer to do anything and just continues with doing what he was doing. So I then speak to another attendant that was working and she says to follow her outside, she’s going to take a look at the machine.
We both go outside, and the machine is indeed stuck. It won’t spit back out my money, and it’s locked which apparently they do not have the key to open. She says to drive my car back to the wash and she will meet me back there.
In the end, I did get a car wash. But it took over 15 mins from when I had originally gone through the wash to be done. They should really fix the sign on the machine and make it say that it only takes $ 1 bills. It would have saved me the hassle of going through all that.

To be fair, I’ve never been inside. I just use my Chevron card at the pump. The prices are always cheaper here than most «off the freeway» locations. Depending on which way you’re driving, it might be difficult to get into or get out of.

Each time I have visited this particular location, there have been at least one pump that is not working, sometimes without a sign posted, so you have to get back in the car and drive around looking for a working one.
This morning, all of the card readers were on the fritz. So everyone had to go inside and wait in a 10 minute line.
Maybe I’m just spoiled by the convenience of today’s gas stations, so, the minute anyone puts in a new station, I’m there!
Whom ever owns this Chevron, really needs to invest in working pumps and cc readers.
