Arco AM-PM

This place is awful. I live in the area and I used to go here before ownership changed and it was great. I would get coffee or if I was on the go and wanted a quick bite I would get a hot dog from time to time. They changed ownership and a few things changed with it.
As many of you have experienced, sometimes when you are putting sauces on a dog or adding cream etc to a coffee you may get a little sauce or something on your fingers. What would you normally do? Simply reach right next to you and grab a napkin. No napkins were to be found. I went to the counter and asked if they had napkins and the attendant pulled out a couple napkins from behind the counter and gave them to me. I didn’t think that much of it. I returned a few days later and noticed they did not have any napkins again. I asked and the attendant gave me napkins. I asked why they don’t stock them and was told that «people take too many». This may seem trivial but this whole «napkin thing» really irritated me. The owner was there and I told him my thoughts and he got pretty short with me. I told him that the next time I come in I hope I will see napkins, if not I would boycott the store for life. I then told him that I have been coming here for years and get all sorts of stuff from gas to, coffee to drinks etc. and that over the lifetime of my consumption alone it would justify allowing customers to have access to napkins. I even suggested that they raise the price of one item a couple pennies to cover the outrageous expense of napkins. In all reality the napkins should be factored in as a cost of doing business. I know this seems a bit extreme over napkins but like I said for some reason the whole thing really got under my skin.

Seriously a charge for using an debit card? Don’t stop here… go across the street to the 7 eleven.

I had been out Gaming @ Casino Arizona Indian Bend.
I needed gas on the way home. I put AMPM into my GPS and found this location.
Their debit/​credit card readers outside didn’t work and the guy working (he SAID he was the owner’s son) hassled me about using my card. I had to make multiple trips into the store to accomplish a simple fill up.
Its not like I don’t have cash in my pocket, but I make it a point of using my debit card for gasoline purchases as it is a business expense. I think this is the WORST AMPM I’ve ever been to and I quite simply will NOT go back there ever again.

No working bathrooms. No bueno :(

This was the worst customer service ever… the owners son was extremely rude as disrespectful… Will never go back!!!

This store sells expired product and refuses to exchange or refund. Buyer beware!!!

UPDATE:
ARCO /​AM-​PM IS OWNED BY BP AND SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED!!!

What? Me (or anyone for that matter) reviewing an Arco AM-​PM on Unilocal?
YES because people need to know what an inept place this is, and it’s not the fault of the employees but THE OWNER!
I go in for some sodas and gas.
The guy ahead of me at the counter apparently had $ 20 cash taken by the machine outside where you can either feed the kitty or pay with a card.
The man just wants the problem fixed.
It just so happens that the gal behind the counter is on the phone with the owner. OH YEAH. How convenient! This NEVER happens. Man gets on the horn with the owner. I block out the conversation as she’s now ringing me up for my gas and sodas.
45 cent fee for using a card. PISS.
WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE?!
WHAT A CHINSE!
GET IT TOGETHER YOU CHEAP BASTARD AND FIX YOUR MACHINE TOO!
They might have the cheapest gas on the block but
GO INSIDE WITH CASH IN HAND.
Oh yeah and my Slim Jim had the texture of 3 years of age.
CHINSE!!!
