The whole cash vs credit card payments is ridiculous! If you want the gas cheap you have to pay cash. Which is actually the same price you pay any other gas station with any payment you want. If you use credit, you will be paying the minimum at least 50cents more than other gas stations. RIDICULOUS!

Ugh! Horrible! Giving this place one star is actually being very generous… in fact, my experience here was so horrendous, I actually just added them to Unilocal so I can warn my fellow Unilocalers to AVOIDATALLCOST!!! I pulled up here on a rainy Sunday night. Place was completely empty. Searched for attendant to pump gas since they’re the *only* gas station on Williams that has a different price for cash vs. credit($ 3.29 cash vs. $ 3.51 for credit.) Finally found attendant in the back of the store listening to her iPod. Immediately thought that wasn’t safe for a working single woman to not be paying attention to the comings and goings at a gas station, but who am I to tell her how to do her job? I told her that I have a Winn-Dixie card so have a discount to my gas. She looked confused(could be from the music still BLARING from her iPod.) I repeated it again and said I’ve got 60¢ off each gallon.(SIDENOTE: was seriously proud of this. Had been saving up all month for this massive fill-up.) After the third time of saying the same thing, she finally got what I was saying and headed toward the register. The rest of our convo: Her: So you’ve got 30¢ off per gallon. Me:…No, it’s 60¢. Her: Are you sure? That seems awfully high. Me:…Here’s my card. Why don’t you check? Her: *15 mins later of figuring out how to swipe card through machine*(very very smugly) You’ve got 61¢ off. Me:…ooooohhhhhkay. Here’s my money. Can you turn on Pump #6 now? I leave and walk toward my car. Shit you not, she finally turns on the thing 10 mins. later. By this time, I’ve already been at the gas station for ½ hour– with a still empty gas tank. And of course, since I always bring a crowd wherever I go, she’s now got a 10 person line with people now lined up outside in the rain. I fill my tank as full as I can then debate whether I really need the $ 1.55 in change back… staring at the unmoving line, I decide to keep my sanity. To add a cherry on top of the big pile of HORSESHIT that is this Shell, the VERYNEXT day, my gas tank was already halfway empty. This was after a 10 mile round trip from work to home. I have a 15 gallon tank. So tell me how that could have used up 7 ½ gallons of gas??? When I fill up at other places, my needle is still on full. So lesson learned. NEVER again Worst-Shell-Station-in-the-World!
