Shell

This is a really nice Shell. It was recently remodeled so it lacks that dingy all grey floor of typical gas stations. The pumps are arranged in rows of 3, and it can be really frustrating when people don’t pull forward to the middle spot. I dislike having to parallel park at the gas station.

Love this Shell, it is all recently renewed.
It is very well lit and clean. The prices seem a bit more than others in the area but as a woman I always feel safe here if I have to stop at night. There are plenty of pumps even during busy hours.

Very nice after the recent remodel/​reopening. Only thing it is missing is a covered walkway to and from the pumps/​mini mart.

It never fails to amaze me… I’m about to drive home after work when I realize I went the entire day without filling up my gas tank. The light came on this morning on the way to work, but I told myself as long as the needle is above the ‘E’ mark, I’ll be fine. I make it to work and I go through the whole day without thinking about filling up my gas tank. I may have even left the office for a brief bit for lunch and yet I still didn’t fill up the gas tank.
So it’s the end of the work day and I’m ready to go home, or go to meet up with friends, or go to work out, or whatever… the point is I have to be somewhere… and then I realize the FREAKING LIGHT IS STILL ON THE NEEDLE IS RIDING THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE ‘E’ MARK AND NOW I REALLY REALLY REALLY F@#$@#IN NEED GAS.
Thank goodness for this Shell station on the way home just off I-​10.
You have saved me on more than one occasion from being THAT GUY.
It’s like that scene in Jean Claude Van Damme’s Bloodsport… where JCVD is giving advice to his buddy who’s about to fight the big bad asian guy.
Frank Dux: Go for the gut. He’s soft there.
Ray Jackson: What the hell are you talking about?
Frank Dux: Chong Li’s weak in the gut. That’s how Parades surprised him.
Victor: [nods curtly with a look of grim encouragement]
Frank Dux: Hey. You listening to me? Go for the stomach. And stay away from his right leg.
Ray Jackson: Will you stop worrying, Frankie? I’ve got it under control. You sound like my mother. Man alive.
Yeah… like that… only I need to be told to not wait so long to fill my gas tank or else I will be opposite a large man in a fight to the death in Hong Kong with an empty gas tank.
