The station itself is a good gas station, but today if I hadn't had a box of disposable gloves in my vehicle, I would have been inclined to go somewhere else, because the person ahead of me at the gas pump had uncovered open sores on their hands, bandage material falling off one leg, and what appeared to be some kind of bodily fluid soaked through the seat of their pants. They looked like a person who should have been in a hospital bed in a nursing home, not driving a vehicle and pumping gas. Nevertheless, there they were. I was REALLY glad I had disposable gloves that I could use as a barrier between my own skin and whatever infectious microorganisms they more than likely left behind on the various parts of the gas pump. Never before had I thought of possibly needing to use medical grade personal protection at a gas station, but now that I've seen this, and because most folks don't happen to drive around with a box of exam gloves in their vehicle, I think it may be a really good idea

Consistently low price at this very busy station. Their cookies are great, too! But today pump 2 didn't auto-shut-off as it should when the vehicle's tank is full. So it spilled over and made a mess.

Very congested area

busy

ok
