76 ConocoPhillips / Circle K

This 76 gas station is great. It’s right off the 5 freeway. The gas prices are priced well, especially if you pay in cash. It’s ten cents cheaper to buy gas if you use cash.
There is a Circle K at the gas station. Buying drinks and snacks is great. The staff is also very friendly.
I also use the digital air pump to inflate my tires about once a month. The air pump is easy to use and accurate. :)

I stopped here to fill up on gas and get some snacks since I’m driving to Northern Cal. I wanted Tea I asked the woman cashier how the tea was sold by bag or cup size since there was no sign. She told me it was by the cup. Great, got a 24 oz cup with a few tea bags. 1 tea bag to 8 – 12 oz of water is typical. Took the tea and other items to the register. I had more than one tea string hanging out of the cup the male cashier told me I had to pay per tea bag. I explained I checked with the other cashier prior to making it and it was sold by cup just like the coffee. He told me this tea was stronger so I didn’t need more than one tea bag per cup (glad he knows what my taste preferences are)! I explained I was not paying for more than what I was told especially since there is NO SIGN stating such. He said fine. Took my tea & other items off the counter and said «By you can leave»! I said I wanted the other items to which he replied «if I’m not paying for the drink then, no»! This is my FIRST and LAST time at this station! I went to the woman cashier and asked if I can buy my other items, he told her no! She told me sorry, he was the supervisor. That SUPERVISOR lost his company a sale! Instead of telling me next time you have to pay per teabag or letting me buy the other items, him being rude and having the upper hand was more important! I hope the owner is happy with his choice of not just employees but MANAGEMENT STAFF! Maybe he should have been taught CUSTOMER SERVICE by his cashier!
I’ve never had this problem at 7 – 11, AM/​PM, Chevron, etc. Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea leaf nor any other tea house I’ve been to has charged me extra for additional tea when buying the larger size! Restaurants often charge per bag & that is why I asked!

Ice Nazi, her name is Iveth!
108 degrees today Sat Aug 15 @3pm. Pump didn’t take my credit card. Went inside. Paid $ 60 for gas. Went back outside to pump gas. Gas pump did not work. A gentleman from 76 came came to assist. Pump 12 did not work. Went to pump 11. While gas was pumping. Saw a sign on window .89 for soda fountain drink. I had my own cup and went inside to just get ice.
ICE NAZI, so called manager, IVETH said no ice. We charge .75 for ice. I explained your credit and pump on station 12 didn’t work. I had to move my car to 11, I’ve been inside this building 3 times and I can’t ice?
No Ice!

This gas station is perfectly situated to be an easy in & out.
Here’s how it works:
1. Pull up to a pump. Get out and read the tiny handwritten note that says, «This pump is broken.»
2. Pull up to a second pump. Get out and see another note. (Fun! It’s like a scavenger hunt.) «This pump takes only cash.» Translation — you have to go inside and pay. And strangely their Circle K is like four times farther than every other «convenience» store.
3. Pull up to a third pump. (Third pumps the charm?) Start to pump. Five minutes go by. Look to see it has only pumped $ 2 worth of gas and at this rate you’d be here for another 2−½ hours. Doh!
Perfectly situated to be an easy in & out. Unfortunately, it’s anything but.

Convenient off the freeway exit. Decent gas prices near a freeway. Place has a mini — market and genuine staff.

This review are only for their Gas quality. Over the past 2 weeks I notice my engine were knocking. I just had a tune up 4 months ago and oil change 4 weeks ago.
This morning I decide to fill up at chevron down the street and my car was running smooth and accelerates faster. I fill up with 91 octane on both stations.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

I was desperate and needed gas so I just stopped at the closest place and this was it. The prices were okay and the gas station and mini mart were average.

I tend to be very thrifty when it comes to buying my gas. I don’t really have a brand loyalty. I will buy gas wherever it is cheapest, which very often means going to ARCO and avoiding the other major brands. Well, now I’m going to be filling up my tank at more 76 stations.
I noticed this afternoon that this station was only $.02 more per gallon than the Arco on the other side of the freeway. And this 76 station has faster access both off and on the I-​5 Freeway. There is a Circle K as a part of this station, so you can pick up any drinks or munchies you need, while you fill up your tank, then get back on the freeway quickly.
Kudos 76.
I’m going to be checking out your 76 siblings to see if all the locations are this price conscious or if it’s just you. Either way you make my list of easy pit stops on the I-​5.

Right near the freeway. Gas was reasonably priced. No complaints.

Run of the mill 76 station. Price is mediocre and the staff was friendly.
It is conveniently located off the 5 freeway and is next to fast food including In-​N-​Out.

Coffee is the best around! Huge amount of choices for cheap prices. I prefer the Kona blend with French Vanilla creamer.

Stopped in to the Unocal to buy some overpriced junk from their store. I needed air in my tires as well and asked the clerk to turn on the air pump. She said I had to pay. I told her it was state law that they provided air for free with purchase. She said it had to be a gas purchase to get free air.
So, the pile of overpriced junk food does not qualify? I guess if you follow the letter of the law it does not. She is right. But from a customer service standpoint this is very poor. Besides, their gas has always been way overpriced.
I used to stop in here for convenience items. I will no longer. I went down the road to the new Chevron station where they were happy to provide me with free air.
