Barstow Shell

Starbucks fuels me for the drive to Vegas. But my car cannot run on lattes nor iced brews. So every once in a while I stop by this Shell station to fuel up my car.
This station has a convenience store and restrooms for that much needed potty break. They have plenty of caffeine options, if you don’t fancy a SB latte. The place is run efficiently, and I’ve never had problems here.
There is not much else I can say about this place, other than it’s a gas station in the desert that does its job.

«oh, the price of gas is $ 2.20? Let’s charge $ 4.50». .. says the Barstow Shell manager — all you need to know

If anyone is qualified to write a review about this place, it’s me. I constantly drive back and fourth between CA and Vegas. This is the perfect half way spot. I’ve literally stopped here at least 50 times. Staff has never been rude to me. Nor have I ever seen bums hanging around near by as another review claims. Bathrooms are decent. Easy access to get back on the freeway too.

Don’t go here. Cashier closed station early. I was already inside but left my wallet in my car and he wouldn’t even let me come back in to buy the souvenirs, beef jerky, and energy drink I wanted. Owners might want to give this guy a warning, turning business away before close is bad for business!

Here is the thing. Every time I go past this station there are bums who hang out behind the building drinking beer and harassing customers for change. One of them has a dog that barks and gets aggressive with people that are around. It’s on a leash, but leashes can be broken. I do wish the owners would do something about this because it just looks bad.

Big gas station and friendly attendant. l
Located in the middle of nowhere but it’s on the way to Vegas so no complaints there.

Don’t come here to get coffee… i Was just here and bought a simple coffee and the cheap cup is made of styrofoam cup with cheap cap and spilled all over my white shirt when I drink. The cap does not close! I went in and got a refund. The store is call MegaMart attached to the Shell Gas… Fockkkkkkkkk… I went to the restroom and had to wash my cloth… On my way to Vegas during a pit stop… Who does that??? I regret i came here…

Though not entirely dirty, it certainly wasn’t entirely clean either. Run of the mill gas station and restroom. Lots of snack selection as well

Hate this gas station.
There I was, minding my own business, filling up gas. Paid with card at the pump. After I had filled the tank, the screen said that I had to go inside for my receipt. Weird.
So I go inside to get my receipt, and have to bring my 6 lb toy spaniel with me in my PURSE. It is 100 degrees in the desert, I was not going to leave her in the car!
I wait and get to the front of the line, and am offered a rude welcome by the extremely mean woman at the counter. «Ma’am you can’t have your dog in here.» And as I’m about to say something, she makes that «shoo» hand motion. !!! Wtf! I had just given this business money, and wanted my receipt.
Before she repeats herself, I just yell «I need my receipt from pump 8, I already PAID you» :/​
She says «Oh» and gives me my receipt without saying anything else.
Rawr.

You know I like this place. lol i always come here to get gas when going to vegas because it has a nice big store where i can buy some snacks if I want and in the mean time fill up my tank.
