Superamerica

Dirty, out of stock. Unhelpful & unfriendly staff.
I have to write more for Unilocal to finish it as a review. Not much more to say but the place is trash, loiterers outside all the time, unkept. If the staff had an ounce of motivation to keep the place clean it would get 2 stars.

I have been to this gas station many times for gas and goods. This location ranks nowhere close to my top half choices as far as gas station selection. I try my best to avoid this place whenever possible. I only come here if I am low on gas, and that is the nearest place from me at that time.
I hate their parking lot. There is very little room to drive around and park; yet, there are many cars competing for the same spot at one time. I also hate that there are very few gas pumps to use. There are often long lines, and even when there is one open, approaching the spots is difficult because of how everything is laid out. The combination of the traffic and the little room often makes me nervous to drive around there because of fear that I will get into an accident. I have never gotten into any accidents there, but there have been some close calls.
There are often numerous loiterers that stand around there. Some of them have caused trouble by making loud obscene noises and harassing some patrons. I have made complaints about that to management, but management does not seem to care. They have not taken any action to stop or lower this.
The parking lot and the inside is often messy and full of clutter. The employees often do not do a great job at keeping the place clean and orderly. The inside is often worse than the parking lot. I have had several moments when I felt uncomfortable walking in there. I understand that it gets busy during rush hour and at night, but they could hire more people to take care of these issues. Problem would be solved.
To their benefit, I find that their late morning and afternoon hours are much better. I do not have these problems very often when I have gone in there during those hours.
When I am in the area and need gas or quick food, I will continue avoiding this place unless it is an emergency. They need to do many improvements for me to change my mind.

Hate hate HATE this gas station at this location. I’ve been here a few times and every time the people that work there are rude and snotty, act like they are better than you when they work at a gas station??? It’s so nasty in there too. Wish I could give no stars. It’s always surrounded by the trashiest, most rude people too that cant even hold open a door for someone struggling with a stroller, which I always try and do, its just common cortousy. Its convienent for where we live. that’s it.

Pros: they have gas and the usual gas station food. Cons: not in a great neighborhood and although they have 4 pumps they are extremely close so rarely can more than 2 cars actually pump gas at the same time. I have never had any trouble with the employees — they all seem friendly and pretty typical. Police officers frequently hang out here which helps keep it a little quieter at times. It is also attached to a liquor store which is incredibly convenient.

I frequent this gas station often only because I live not to far from it. Cashiers need to work on their attitudes! I work in customer service myself and if I had an attitude like that I would be fired immediately. I’d be happy to train everyone there. It’s really not that hard to say «hello» or «how are you.» Rather than just saying «do you want a bag?» Whoever the manager is needs to figure it out!

I live 1 block this convenience store/​gas station and as such utilize their services fairly often. Unfortunately!!! below is my review of this particular location.
–Very inconvenient pump station avoid if you can.
–Service without a smile.
–Cleanliness is not a priority
–Weirdly enough the store is always well staffed averaging 4 – 5 employees on duty but the store stays dirty, poorly stocked, and it takes forever to check out!
It is very conveniently located if you are very very low on fuel.

Is this the nicest gas station I’ve ever been to? No, not by a long shot, but let me specify that when I go to a gas station I’m not expecting some wonderful experience that I rave about to my friends. I go to the gas station to get cigarettes and maybe a drink. Of course on occasion gasoline but I don’t go to this location for gas. My first trip here I went for smokes and after I passed the group of people standing in all the parking spaces passing a bottle of vodka around and smoking cigarettes I entered the dirty little gas station grabbed a drink and bought some smokes. All the attendants I’ve spoke to through the glass were friendly and very kind, never had a problem with them what so ever. This isn’t some five star location but they have what I need.

Oh my damn! There were 3 girls talking in the back and seemed annoyed that they had to come and check me out. Bitch actually waved for me to push my stuff toward her, never asked if I had an SA card, and when she was done just walked away to talk to her friends again. Just incredibly rude, even for a gas station.

Third world nation meets Minneapolis: feels like a service station you might find in a Chicago slum, blight on a neighborhood, fuel pumps never work, poorly staffed, looks like the place where drug deals go down. Sound like your kind of place? maybe for some. I guess all neighborhoods can’t have a shiny new BP station? Or can we? Please send your complaints to Super America. The CEO, like any absentee landlord, should be forced to office out of this location. I wonder if that would change anything? Does Loring Park deserves better?

Do you like dirty floored gas stations with minimal parking and expensive gas? How about ones that give off the errant feeling that you are going to be robbed, beaten, berated by homeless people, or possibly raped?
The clientelle at this gas station make you feel as though you have stepped into an impoverished and destitute nation. One where price has far exceeded quality, and smells are less than appealing.
That said, the staff here is awesome! If you wanna bullshit when you’re drunk and on your way home, there are tons of people that would peak your interest here. Not to mention the ability to go next door to pick up another bottle, then next door for insence/​porn/​lube, and next door to that to pick up your newly altered pants, and then next door for some Phở.
Obviously some quick, but smart planning was taking place when the developer rented these store fronts out, because even though there are less than reputable people that hang out at (Gay)SA, it’s a really great little stop! Just don’t buy gas there, it fucks with your emissions.

I don’t know why I like this SA. The parking lot is ridiculously inadequate, to the point of double– and triple– parking during busy times. There’s only four gas pumps, and the chances you’ll be able to pull right up to one without waiting are almost null. The crowd is unwaveringly shady, especially after dusk. And the cashiers are barricaded behind a bulletproof shield, which probably makes them feel safer, but kind of freaks me the f**k out.
But hey, I dunno. I have a fond memory (well, a scrap of a memory) of passing out drunk in their bathroom once, years ago. They always have a great selection of Ben and Jerry’s. The cashiers are friendly (probably because they’re not worried about having their brains blown out by some crackhead with a .38). You can walk twenty feet and get your weekly supply of condoms or whatever at Rainbow Road, and some yummy wontons at Lotus to Go Go. And really, what more could you possibly need?

For some reason, there is often a really shady crowd in and around this Super A. i cannot really figure it out, because when you stray away from this corner, or even head towards the Waldorf Nevens Cleaners or the Lotus to Go Go Restaurant on the other end of the parking lot, the crowd gets infinitely less shady.
I have on several occasions seen a really really angry man screaming at passersby on the corner. Occasionally there is the guy behaving suspiciously like a drug dealer. And once, just once I saw someone who appeared to be trying to sell the services of a woman.
That being said, you’d think this place would be worthy of a 1 star rating. With all the danger that appears to be lurking on THIS corner. But the people who work here are pretty friendly, the gas is cheap enough, and the store is stocked with all the soda, chips, and fake beer you can handle… not to mention an ATM machine that comes in handy once in a while.
