Shell Gas Station

Cheapest gas station in the area. A lot of pump are available of all the time. It’s always 10 cents less than anywhere else.

This gas station has given me nothing but problems lately. Yes, I know that it is one of the cheapest Shell stations in the metro area. And I go there because I save with the Fuel Rewards Network program. However, I have not enjoyed stopping there for gas lately.
The first time, all of the pumps were out of order. I ended up going down the street to a Shell that was charging a bit more and getting gas there. It was an inconvenience but thankfully not too costly of one.
This most recent visit yesterday, I noticed all of the pumps were out of order again. I went inside to buy a Sunday paper and ask why the pumps were out of service. I was told that it was because of shift change.
Never in my life have I ever known a gas station having to completely disable ALL of the pumps at once when they change cashiers. It’s unheard of. If I’m paying with my card AT THE PUMP, that has no effect on the cash register, so the pumps should stay on.
This incident occurred at 1 pm. I always thought that the standard shifts at gas stations were 7 – 3, 3 – 11, and 11 – 7. Shift change shouldn’t have occurred then.
On top of all of that, when I was finished pumping, the pump wouldn’t print my receipt. I had to go in again to get the cashier to print me a receipt.
I shouldn’t have to go inside the station TWICE when I’m there to purchase gas and intend to pay at the pump. If I wanted a drink or a snack, yes, but not for gas. The complete opposite of convenience.

This Shell gas station always has THE BEST prices in the area. They are usually like 10 cents cheaper than anywhere else. Plus it’s easy to get in and out of and has plenty of pumps available.
