OnCue Gas Station

Love on cue however Unilocal says there is a red box here and there is not. Always clean staff is super nice and prices are always great. Only complaint is how far away from my house it is. Love that it’s covered all the way from the gas pumps to the store. Makes coming in on stormy days super easy. Keep it up guys!

*hello — drive thru window*
Always busy, VERY well lit. Lots of Parking friendly staff.

I’m in this store almost every day for coffee, yogurt sometimes and most of my beer and nearly all my gasoline. This store is a very welcome addition to North side of Norman, where the choices have been weak for a long time. The store is always clean, the employees always greet me and thank me for my purchase. Great bunch of folks there in the mornings. I don’t know why I’d have use for the drive thru unless I had a baby in the car or I was disabled. Just come inside yo.

Finally Norman has a big, nice, clean convenience store. Tons of pumps, ‘decent’ food (for a gas station…), and always super clean. A nice change of pace from what we had before.

I don’t understand how this gas station has been here for at least a full month, and yet the «convenient» drive thru still doesn’t know what they have or where it is located!
The first time I came through, I asked for a white monster and a blueberry muffin at 6:30 in the morning while on my way to work. My «convenient» stop for breakfast took 15 minutes! The lady working the drive thru first went off to find the white monster I asked for. She had to come back to ask exactly what drink I wanted; I gave her more of an explanation — I couldn’t remember exactly what Monster calls their white monster, but the bottle is white and it would reside next to the other monsters in the energy drink section. Not hard.
The second time she came back, she had my monster in hand, but no muffin! She then had to go back to the front to find my blueberry muffin.
Today was my second time to go through the «convenient» drive thru. This time it was worse than the first time! The drive thru worker was younger this time, so I assumed she would know what drinks we were looking for; boy, was I wrong! My boyfriend asked for a blue Full Throttle, and I a «Fuji Pear Life Water». The girl didn’t even know what a Full Throttle was; luckily for her my boyfriend has the patience of a saint and explained that it is an energy drink and the can said «Full Throttle», is blue, and has a tribal print on it. She too came back with only half of our order. When I told her again what I wanted, she said that «we don’t have that». I decided to get out of the car to show her through the display window what exactly I wanted. It took three tries for her to pick up the right one. As she was handing the drink through the window, she retorted, «Next time, tell us it’s a Life Water so we know what you’re looking for.» Really? Pretty sure we gave an accurate description. I definitely won’t be using this drive through for a long time. They need some training on what products they have and where they are.

It feels a bit silly to review a gas station and even sillier to admit that my husband and I were PUMPED, yes PUMPED, when we realized an OnCue was being built just down the road. But here we are and let me tell you why:
All OnCues are extremely well-​lit (yay safety!) and have plenty of space for people to maneuver around pumps and parking spots. As for the gas, they offer E-​10 for those of us *ahem* who like a little ethanol in our gas (and the savings!), as well as E-​85, Unleaded, Super & Premium. Apparently the man who started the chain even dreams of someday being the place for people to charge electric cars and fill natural gas cars as well. I love it when someone embraces and plans for alternative fuel sources!
Next, they have a huge selection of food and drinks inside. It is ALWAYS clean. You don’t feel like you are entering a flickering, questionably spattered Texas Chainsaw establishment, which is nice. And just the other day I found their BEER CAVE. It’s not a huge selection, but they have what you need in whatever amount and type of container you want. And did I mention that this one has a drive-​thru? I don’t know what you go through a gas station drive-​thru for, but they have one.
This one in particular is also on the corner of Flood/​77 & Tecumseh, right when you are about to get on the highway and notice your gas light come on. So there you have it. The world’s perfect gas station. Not so silly I’d sing its praises, is it?
