Crest Gas & Convenience Stores

This place was once a great place to come and get gas and snacks. The staff was friendly and helpful. Recently new management has come and taken away everything that was once great about this place. They closed the drive through got rid of the Costco muffins and hired some of the most lazy people I have ever met. The girl that works in the morning never gets anything ready for the day, and is always busy watching Netflix on her phone. Every time I go in there I feel like I am an inconvenience to the employees. The other day the card system went down and they were too lazy to use a calculator, so they just guessed on what the tax was going to be. Pull it together.

Um, if you ever can go in here between 7:00 — 12:00 and you decide not to, you are a fool. Erin, the gas station girl, is friendly, cute, and always entertaining. Plus, it is the closest Mt. Dew to BYU campus that actually has caffeine.

You’ll notice that it’s really a Sinclair station, but officially by the books it’s a Crest.
I don’t know if it’s just because it was New Year’s Day, or if this place is always so quiet, but it was closed up and dark just after 8pm yesterday. The convenience store part was, anyway, but the gas pumps are on ²⁴⁄₇ so I drove it to fuel up.
Unfortunately, the first pump I went to seemed to be malfunctioning. It was stuck in permanent «Cancelled» mode. I walked across the the next pump and it was also malfunctioning. I walked around to the other side of the pump where I had pulled up and it appeared to be working, so I drove around. Third time was a charm, and I fueled up. I have to say, however, that this was one of the slowest pumps I’ve been to in a really long time. I still had a quarter of a tank when I drove in, and it may have taken well over 5 minutes to fill the thing up. Now, 5 minutes, in the grand scheme of things, is not much time. But count to 60 and realize that’s about how much time it was taking to pump a whole gallon. S l o w…
The convenience store looked decent. Some ice cream specials in the afternoon sounded mighty tasty and would be a nice topper to a J Dawgs afternoon, which is a but a block up the road.
After fueling up I did my memory lane drive around Provo to see my old stomping grounds. Sigh.
