Jackson’s Convenience

I prefer this place over the 7eleven! Scott and wayne are awesome! Maria is friendly on a good day. I crave the coffee! On game days I don’t miss a thing with sports radio inside! This is my fav local! Anyone else is trippin!

Most expensive gas in North end of Tacoma. I only go there to get fueled up to make it to better options as it is closest option near the 705 to I5. Fred Meyers/​QFC discounts never show up. Interesting that I always see Tacoma city vehicles fueling there (wasting our tax dollars)

The store manager verbally abuses her employees in front of customers and forces them to work off the clock for fear of reprimand. Terrible.

DO NOT USE THIS STATION if you have an older vehicle!
My car is 15 years old (still runs well — thanks, Subaru!), and the rubber boot around the gas pump is incredibly hard to deal with. It’s extremely long and inflexible, so it’s very difficult to fit the pump into your tank. There is no way to put it into the car and simply let go, as you can at almost every other gas station. If you try to when it feels secure, DON’T — or else it will pop out and get gas all over you and the ground, which happened to me.
I’d forgotten, yesterday, why I stopped ever using this station, and the result was gas all over my shoes and new jacket. Aside from being smelly and annoying, this is incredibly unsafe! This is a huge hazard. Aside from the fact that the EPA has ordered all rubber boots removed from gas stations (2 years ago…), it’s just plain ridiculous how difficult they are to use at this station. I do not have this problem anywhere else.
I’ll add that after I complained to a friend, they said their much newer car (only 5 years old) also had a similar problem here. Best to avoid it altogether until they remove the atrocious boots.

Convenience is in the name of this place. I go here when I NEED gas and don’t have the luxury to shop around. Also, it is my local spot to have my car washed. The people are friendly and the space is kept clean. There is a small selection of gas spots in the north end but this place does the trick every time.
Just don’t save your receipt!

This store is close to home and convenient… just like it should be, 24 hours with a car wash and your basic 7 – 11 selection of goods. The gas is Shell, so you can use your Fred Meyer and QFC points for a discount here.
BIG WARNING, however: Twice I had weird «1 and 2 cent» transactions go through after using my debit card in the store. My bank gave me warnings both times, the customer service rep I spoke with on the second set of strangeness felt it was probably tied to this location. The «charges» were to international cell phone providers. This is a common way con artists «test» a card to see if they can make larger transactions. I no longer use my card if I have to run into this store!
Fine for pumping gas, but really… watch your card if you go in the store. I hate to dis an entire business when it’s probably just a couple bad apples but…
