ARCO AM PM

This is a more unique Arco. Usually you have to go to a central machine for automated payments, but each of the pumps had their own credit card swipe Love it! It was so convenient. Although located in a prime tourist location, the gas price here are somewhat reasonable. Minus 1 star just because the prices are still higher than my regular gas station and for the small surcharge for card payments.

There’s this employee named Moe is an absolute Joke. No customer services skills and actual started to get augmentative with me when I said he did not give back the correct change. And then when I asked to talk to the manager he was very Rude. People like this guy have no right to be in customer service position. I really hope management sees this review.

Never ever going to stop by again. .35 cent charge on debit and credit cards. Plus the fat cashier boy is the rudest thing on earth. As long is he is working there I will never come

Good prices with lots of pumps and close to 57 for quick freeway access. But it can be a pain to get in or out since this place can be busy.

My daughter went in to fill up her tank with gasoline today. Three or four employees behind the counter one of them using the F*** word consistently, threatened my daughter that he was going to «call his three sisters» to gang up on my daughter and he was saying «that he was going to start breaking chairs» to intimidate my young daughter. He went very «Gangster» on my daughter who is in her teens Who went there simply to purchase gas. This is going to go to Corporate — as I spoke to Bernardo the assistant manager, he TOO was rude, disrespectful and interrupted me the whole time I was trying to talk with him on the phone. It is right now 5:40 PM Pacific standard time the phone call took place just five minutes ago.

I used to never go to Arco until I got married. I always thought of Arco to be inconvenient due to «cash only» or «Arco card only» restrictions. Since I do have an Arco card now, it’s not a big deal. However, I have to go out of my way to look for the nearest Arco. This location is nearest to our house (and the freeways) and so frequent it. I never really had a problem here until recently. There are pumps not working properly and what boggles my mind is, management doesn’t really care. It is quite upsetting that not only do I have to be on the lookout for panhandlers (which also has been an issue), I have to keep my hopes up that the pump that I will be using is going to work without any issues. Unfortunately, luck hasn’t been on my side yet. I went to go fill up the other day and noticed that the pump clicked, which is an indication that my gas tank is full. I thought to myself, «Hmmm, how odd» and just to make sure, I tried to pump some more. Again, the click. When I started my car, the gas tank indicator showed it being half full (or empty). WTF?! I knew something was off. Why do I always have bad luck here? If it’s not the pump, then it’s the card reader that’s not working. Well, I come here out of my convenience but maybe I should start frequenting a different Arco. Shame shame shame. I miss Shell…

Great pricing but they don’t take American Express so I had to go around the corner. 3 stars because this is a cash only or ATM only type of business.

This place consistently has the cheapest gas in Orange County. My only complaint is that they don’t take credit cards and charge $ 0.35 per debit card transaction. Someone commented about the employees and management being rude and racist, but that’s never been my impression.

Stopped here to get some coffee on the way home because I am the hugest fan of AM/​PM coffee set ups. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any coffee syrups, BUT the inside of the gas station was incredibly clean! Immaculate even and I’m sure that’s not a word used to commonly describe a gas station. The guy working the cash register was very nice.

I love that I can get gas at this location right down the street from where I work for way less then where I live in Riverside, CA. For two weeks straight I received the price of $ 2.33 a gallon and this morning I saw that the price has gone up to $ 2.37 but that is still very affordable. I will say that if you go to fill up your car during your lunch break BEWARE as there are a ton of people, «claiming to be in need of gas,» just randomly sitting in their cars or driving around to harass patrons. Come one are you telling me that you got in your car to drive somewhere and stopped in the middle of Anaheim with out the funds to fill up your tank. I was so mad. IT’s like really!!!

Even though they save you a few cents I find that their gas doesn’t last as long as anywhere else you may go to fill your tank. Plus it’s debit only so that is slightly inconvenient and they are always PACKED. Sometimes the machines here dont want to work. I’ll stick to another gas station that is closer to my home/​work.

I live near here so use this place often.
Always a line to get gas here.
The place is clean.
Not the friendliest convenience store staff I’ve ever dealt with.
They have a decent selection of munchies.

I love Arco stations. They carry good quality gas at inexpensive prices. The pumps are always well lit, so I always feel safe, even as a woman who travels alone at night quite frequently. You can pay by cash or ATM card at several pay stations located out by the pumps. There is a $.35 fee for using your ATM card, which isn’t too bad if you’re filling up your tank, but they don’t take credit cards so don’t even ask.
This particular Arco, located on the Southwest corner of Katella and State College Ave across from the Stadium Loft complex, also has a clean and well stocked convenience store filled with all sorts of salty and sweet munchies and all your favorite sodas, energy drinks, juices, and waters. There is a Chase Bank ATM that charges a $ 3 fee, and they even carry Kettle Chips, a brand you don’t always see in convenience stores.
The restroom, one room to be used by either gender, was very clean. A sign on the restroom door stated that only one person at a time was allowed in the bathroom, no exceptions! One wonders what happened that caused them to feel they had to post this sign. No, on the other hand, one doesn’t! One runs away screaming «La la la la la» while trying to poke out one’s mind’s eye before one has a chance to speculate too much.
Anyway, there were no transients hanging out either while I was in the convenience store or while I was out at the pump as was mentioned in other reviews, so I was all good.

Hi,
OK, the nicest ARCO AM PM I have ever been in… no.
Is the store inside the nicest I have ever been in… no.
Is the staff the friendlies I have ever experienced… NO!
It this the easiest gas station in the area to access the pumps… no
What gives this ARCO AM PM apart from all other gas stations in the area and what enables me to give this place 4 stars is plain and simple. They consistently have the best gas prices in the area!!!
Gas station and store is open ²⁴⁄₇.
Cheap Gas!
Enjoy

This place has gasoline. And a wide selection of terrible beer. The lady behind the counter looked at me like I was an alien when I tried to pay with a credit card. Cash and debit/​ATM only. I’d write more, but this is really the extent of my experience with this gas station.

Terrible doesn’t accept credit cards and I saw no signs saying that

PROS:
– Convenient to Angel Stadium and The Pond (aka Honda Center)
CONS:
– No credit cards accepted (cash and ATM only)
– Homeless folks coming up to you as you are pumping gas asking for change.

good gas prices
new pumps
but
They don’t take credit card!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!

In,
This day and age where we are making life decisions at the gas station it is nice to know that there is at least one place that is keeping there prices low. I know all gas stations are competing with each other but fir one this is the gas station I go to it has the best prices when your a college student and working you’ll take a good price where you can get it.

It’s always good to have an ARCO near your work. This location always have the best prices on gas and their mini mart has enough items to get me started in the morning or get me home in the eveingst. I’m a fan.
