BP Gas

RIPOFF REPORT:
Watch out for the cashiers at this store. I just got scammed by one of them tonight. He is A LIAR, A THIEF.

There is an Indian kid who works here who is either really bad at his job or a hostile liar. I’m pretty sure it is the latter. I paid cash and then spent ten minutes with a pump that would not work. Instead of helping me, he gave me attitude and said it was my fault and that I was not hanging up the nozzle. In fact I had been hanging up the nozzle and waiting each time. This kid has NO clue what customer service is. I had to go into the store three times and each time he treated me with more disdain. I believe he was intentionally refusing to program the pump. I will never come here again.

Been here many times for gas. The prices seem to be a little higher than other gas stations in the area. But gas in Chicago is expensive anyways. But the station is clean and well lit at night and the area feels safe.
But as for the goods inside the station, everything is over priced.

Cheapest BP north of Roosevelt/​south of Devon/​and east of Ashland.
Pumps are never broken, no issues so 5 stars from me.

Am I really writing a review of a gas station. It’s a gas station. The gas is expensive because your’e in the city. The inside is clean, but the cashiers are slow and rude.

This location is not the spot to stop if you are looking for the CHEAPEST GAS AROUND. But if you want pure connivence, then look no further. Easy access into the parking lot, with plenty of space to navigate your care (think first time drivers). In addition you will find a car wash around back. It’s not a touch less wash, so you will not get that new car look upon exiting, but I would highly recommend this place in the dead of winter to get some of the road grime off.

This review is for the Car Wash.
I have used it a couple times; one because it is very close, and also because I have gotten gas and wanted to get the salt off my SUV. They don’t offer a discount on gas, or the wash when bought together like some other places. The is not touchless, and does not reach all of the places on my SUV. It left gaps down the back where it couldn’t reach. Also the Underbody is very week, and doesn’t seem to have enough pressure to wash anything off of the bottom.

I was next in a long line of people waiting at the counter. When the older gentlemen wanted to get his lotto ticket cashed in. The African American lady cashier who seemed to be not in a good mood just automatically gave the gentleman a ticket’s worth of his winning. But the gentleman refused to take it because she failed to listen to him first. But instead of apologizing and just correcting the mis-​communication, she went on yelling at the gentleman saying she will not give it back to him. Mind you that this guy is a senior citizen who is probably past 80. I got so distracted to her rant in front of all these customers in line that when the next cashier came up to help, (who I did not get his name but he seems to be asian or hispanic, wears glasses, balding head) he calls out for the next customer and I did not hear him the first time. The second time he yells with that disgruntled tone and I looked at him with his expression of impatience. This got me all fuming.
This BP Gas is only a block from me but with this type of customer service I would gladly be getting gas and other items at the station across the street. I don’t understand why companies such as BP would hire people in customer service who obviously do not have the skills to handle customers. Customers tend to be very demanding but from what I’ve seen today, there was definitely a lack in professionalism of the employees. My day got ruined because of the scene made. And I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.
To BP, until I get over this, or become more confident about the professionalism of your business, I would rather be giving my money to your competitions.

Currently $ 3.99/gallon. Screw you.
AM/​PM is big and has a lot to choose from. From food, cigs, auto accessories, and lotto tickets. At night, they close the store and anything you need, you tell the worker through a window and they go and fetch it for you.
The car wash is $ 6/​$ 7/​$ 8 depending on which one you get. Its a typical blah wash. The dryer is always on BS. One time I went, my time expired but it still continued to blow [holler] and the last time, I didn’t even move my car because I know there is sensor and my car was no more than half way thru and it decided to turn off even though I had a minute left.
Oh and you have to pay for the vacuum. There are a lot of places in chicago now that let you do the vacuum for free. Swing by there and save your $ 2

I come here for gas and snacks. Yeah the gas prices suck but I’d rather have a nice big gas station than a hole in the wall with pot holes and bad pumps. The staff is nice and they are good at putting up signs when the occasional pump does go out. The best thing about this place is the fountain drinks. They have 32oz drinks for $ 0.79, lots of variety and the choice of two types of ice! I go here for fountain drinks and 7-​Eleven up the street when I want my soda in a plastic bottle. The most annoying thing is kids from the nearby schools tend to hang out here but if you know when to go, you can avoid them.

Today my boyfriend and I woke up, went out to the car to head back to his place, and noticed that we had a flat tire on the car and that the donut needed air. This was the closest gas station around and we were grateful that they had air that actually worked and wasn’t frozen. I think 75 cents is a small price to pay for not having to call a tow truck and waste our whole afternoon.

Mother fuckers charge 75 cents for AIR, with a sign that says «free pressure reading.»
Like they invented a pressure gauge on an air pump?

Sucky gas prices, decent food in the restaurant, great selection of chips… but what really rocks is the car wash…

I figured out that if you hang out by the drier as long as you want without driving through… careful not to move the curtain… the darn thing will dry your car so well you will not have to use a towel afterwards… wooohooo!
Oh, I am so easily amused… the things in life that make me so happy are so simple… What goes through one’s head when they’re sitting in those sud filled, giant sized mops???

I never fill up here, instead I visit the convenience store occasionally to get a cup of coffee. Their coffee is pretty good, with a ton of flavored syrups, fresh dairy, and even sugar in the raw to add in. They occasionally hand out coupons for free coffee, and even have a card that gives you a free cup after you’ve purchased five. I wouldn’t normally write a review for a place like this except the staff that works here are really friendly and welcome you in with a nice hearty good morning. That’s a nice thing because typically the reason I’m there is that I’ve missed my bus and decide to grab a cup of coffee… a small consolation, knowing that I’ll yet again be late for work.

It’s a gas station, with gas. No problems so far.
