SMC in Monrovia (502 W Duarte Rd)

Seems empty but can get busy af times if prices get low

Terrible experience. Credit card reader was not working outside. I went inside to pay. Clerk told me they were out of regular unleaded. I told them I would come back another day. They told me they had regular unleaded one pump over and to move over to that pump to fill up.I moved over, the clerk came outside to pretend to help me and handed me the gas nozzle. When I looked over they had selected higher grade gas and started filling my vehicle with gas. I reminded them I only wanted to purchase regular unleaded gas and their response was their premium gas was still a good price. There was no miscommunication in this interaction, the clerk blatantly lied to me and cheated me.In the end, the price difference was $0.20/gallon, but I prefer not interacting with dishonest people.

Hard to describe this place.
