MC Foods

Still and forever Texaco to me. This place has stood the test of time as the neighborhood trap-​mart where one can always come for a sweet and 40oz of Mickey’s Ice. Don’t let the sign out front deceive you, they’ve been «now open until 12:00am» for several years now.
The older lady behind the counter has been selling me a steady supply of sugar and later cigarettes for my entire life. True the gas may be a bit overpriced and you have to go inside to pay, but this is where I learned by first lesson as a child of how to drop to the floor if someone pulls out a knife and threatens the cashier.
MC Foods to the newer generation, Texaco to the old, this place has stood the test of time and is a true embodiment of what Beacon Hill is.

I suppose this place serves its purpose, but I don’t understand why anyone would come here unless they absolutely had to. Everything is overpriced even when compared to other quickee marts. The dregs of society that happen to live nearby seem to be drawn here after dark so be aware of your surroundings.

Bought gas here in a pinch on my way through Seattle and the pump actually took 25 minutes to pump $ 50.00 worth of gas. Also you can’t swipe your card at the pump, no public restrooms, and gas is .30 more than the average. I guess this place was put here to punish me!

This is my neighborhood mini-​mart. There are many like it; but this one is mine.
I don’t get gas here. It’s too expensive. And the pumps don’t accept credit cards.
I think the whole famn damily work here, and they are all AWESOME.
Once, for instance, I didn’t have ducats with me, and the guy told me that I could come back and pay for my goods later. Say whaaaaat?
Previous to that, I thought I had maybe left my debit card there, so I went to ask if they had found anything. Auntie looked at the window by the cashier and said that if it had been found, they would have taped it up on the window.
Like…my debit card number… just chilling.
On a window.
At a gas station.
In public.
Alarming but somehow still funny to me. What I’m trying to say is, «Don’t lose your credit card here.» LOL
Sometimes, I lean over the counter to see what Korean programming they are watching. (Usually soap operas.)
Prices are good and they seem to make a killing on selling lottery tickets. A bunch of us living on Beacon Hill who want to become quick millionaires? Inconceivable.
Please stop in and make this your go-​to place too. Tell them I said, «An-​nyung-​ha-​say-​oh.»
