Rocklin Food Mart

Just an average or actually a below average gas and snack stop.
Pro:
It’s on a corner and easy to get in and out of.
Have the basics and some fun items to pick up.
Con:
Not the cleanest location
The gas pumps working are hit and miss
Seems to be the hangout for Rocklin’s less than stellar residents
Service is not exactly friendly. More of just a get it and go — don’t ask questions
You need to check dates on any food item
Many better locations to stop in the area.

Since living in Rocklin for the last 9 months I’ve not had such a rude experience anywhere. I stopped there for gas and snacks on my way home and had never been there, but was low on gas and couldn’t wait. I picked out a Tootsie Roll, sort of excited because it’s a childhood fave that you can’t find everywhere. While pumping my gas, tried to bite the chewy confection only to discover it was so hard I barely made a dent. I went back in to tell him it must be stale and the man behind the counter actually didn’t want me to get a fresh one and said it was hard candy!!! Not sure if he ever saw the «Mr. Owl» commercial, but it is supposed to be chewy. He was rude and acted like I was stealing from him. I told him I’d never be back and he actually said «I don’t care.»

Sarah Palin’s best dream meets her worst nightmare.
Allow me to explain.
This is basically your normal crappy convenience store with a few gas pumps outside. It’s not very clean, the layout is awkward, and the clerk is Muslim. But here’s the part where it gets weird — dude is blasting prayers in Arabic over the music system on a Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. Wouldn’t have bothered me, but can you at least ring up things correctly? Water for 1.79 each or 2/​$ 3 does not cost 2 for $ 5.25. It also does not cost $ 325. $ 3.25? Yay, third time’s a charm.
Anyway, I’m sure some teenagers will make this guy’s life a living hell. Derka derka and happy trails.
