Hess Express

I never used to mind driving 3 towns away to pay 20¢ more per gallon than the place 2 blocks from me because when this was a Hess station they always had a free air machine with a built in pressure gauge. It was just a nice convenience and it kept me coming back. It’s little things like that that make a customer want to go out of their way to frequent an establishment.
Well, today I went there and it is now a Speedway and the free air is no more. In fact the air is so expensive that the machine accepts credit cards… For Real. I find this to be utterly absurd! And to boot, the gas prices were still about 20¢ higher per gallon than the station right by my home.
I also went in to use the restroom which was retched. When trying to get out of the bathroom, a magazine rack was blocking the door. I had to push it out of the way with the door while the clerk behind the counter was just staring into space watching me try to escape the Saw like situation. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

Hess is one of the few gas stations left that doesn’t rip off credit card users. This Hess had the Express convenience store, like a 7-​Eleven.
