Shell

Stopped by to get gas a couple of nights ago after class. I had to go inside because my credit card wouldn’t work on the pump. Joey the cashier working inside was so hilarious. He made my day. Awesome, awesome guy.

This is the worst gas station, the outside pay stations take forever, and most of the time they fail and you have to go inside to pay. Need some new technology…

This place sucks. You pay top dollar, the pumps won’t let you pay with your card, so you have to go in to the absolutely clueless attendant. Then You have to guess how much your bill will be so she can key it in, and when you go to pump, it stops every half gallon. I got about three gallons before I gave up. I went back in to get a receipt, she asks which pump like I want just in there 30 seconds ago, prints out a receipt and hands it to me, and it’s a receipt for a few candy bars, not even gas! Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

Really nice gas station. The pumps are well lit and bright I felt safe. It’s clean and well kept. More expensive than 7 – 11 across the street. BUT if you shop at Ralph’s you can get up to 20 cents off a gallon. I earned enough this month to get earn 20 cents off. Ended up paying $ 2.98 for premium. I like this gas station and I’ll be back. Clean and safe.

I seem to always stop here when I’m low on gas and costco is busy. Very easy to drive in/​out. Never had to wait on line, never been approached by anyone trying to sell me anything.
Oh, the have ralph’s rewards system here. I never have enough points on my card, but if you do…10 cents off a gallon!

today (4÷6÷15) i left my wallet on the top of my car while i was getting gas and forgot it when i drove off… it is pink and pretty much has my whole life in it. i don’t imagine it stayed on my roof very long although i checked the entire parking lot and every store around the area. including the shell
they didn’t have it but they were very nice about it … so 5 stars for that. but if anyone has found it please please contact me… my license has my name and my email is
.
name: lauren predki, or you can facebook me and i’ll give you my phone number. there was cash in it and you can take the cash, it doesn’t matter to me. but everything else is useless as i have canceled all the cards in it.
i would really really appreciate it if you contact me if you have found it
it could be on the road or in the shopping center or anywhere in the proximity of san marcos high school.
thank you so much
reward if found!

I was on the way back from yoga in Carlsbad, tank had 10 miles of fuel left and I knew that I wouldn’t have enough to get home.
I was getting dangerously close to the entrance to the 78 and knew that would lead straight to the 15 and therefore I would likely run out of fuel on the freeway, this being a personal nightmare given that hubby and I have only one car and our baby girl was asleep!
Thankfully right next to the freeway entrance was this gas station. I fueled up not bearing to look at the prices and paid at the pump then I headed into the store to grab a late dinner, go me having gas station food for dinner!
The gas station was clean, convenient, quiet and had a good choice of snacks as well as an ATM.
So why only 3 stars? Well the gas station attendant was grouchy and the prices were high.
It was out of my way so very unlikely I will be back but thankful it was there for me today!

I hate going to the gas station as much as anyone else, but this place isn’t THAT bad. Everything here is new and in decent shape… the pumps have widescreen TVs to watch while you fill-​up. The food mart is pretty large and they have a decent selection. I’ve found the staff to be pretty friendly. It’s easy to get in and out of and hop on the 78. Prices are decent (for what I would call «Tier-​1» fuel). Also, lots of places to eat right nearby which is an additional bonus.

My go-​to gas spot after eating a good Phil’s BBQ meal.
Everything is newer here including the pump machines.
The food mart is even larger than normal.
Easy in and out gas station (but i’ve never been here during rush hour).

The two guys that I’ve seen work here can definitely be smart asses, but hey… it’s San Marcos and they quite frankly don’t really give a shit?
Either way, getting in and out is always fairly quick and yes, they do have a public restroom. Diesel fuel and a car wash can also be found here.
Always a good place for me to gas up before getting on the 15!

This place can be a pain to get in and out since it is close to the freeway entrance. Also, as another Unilocaler mentioned, there are these annoying sales people who are trying to sell window cleaning stuff. Some of them are very aggressive, and it is really annoying. I have complained to management, but they don’t do anything, so I assume they get a cut from the sales these people bring in. For this reason I typically go to ampm, arco, or chevron, as I rarely see any pushy sales people there.

A car wash, gas and mini mart. This place is convenient. Just hard to get out of, since it’s next to the freeway entrance.

It’s got gas, a small mini mart, semi nice workers, older gas station but it has a good location and a car wash. Vacuum and air for $ 0.75.
One negative is that this Shell has these people trying to sell a window spray cleaner for your car and are annoying as hell!
