Shell

First of all, I laughed out loud when I saw that the pricing listed for a gas station is $$$$.
I have been to this Shell a dozen times throughout the years and recently checked in on Unilocal since it was the first time I’ve been by since I became a Unilocaler 2 years ago. It’s located next to I-​90, Bellevue College and the Mormon Temple so a good location and easy to find.
While I was pumping gas, an employee was clearing the trash cans and made small talk with me. Nice guy and good to see someone working out in the freaking cold with a positive attitude.
Prices are reasonable on the snacks and drinks. The gas is a bit more than other areas in the metropolis but it’s not overpriced.

This location has horrible customer service not to mention questionable advertisement tactics. I used to frequent this station out of convenience since I work nearby. My first complaint is their bait and switch practice when it comes to gas prices. They advertise a lower gas price in much larger print for cash only customers. This annoyed me, however, a recent incident is what just lost them a customer. I filled up at the gas pump then came inside to purchase a snack hoping to receive cash back for the air pump outside. The clerk, who I see often, informed me there’s no cash back and gestured to the ATM. Okay fine, no problem. I purchased my snacks and used the ATM after. I returned to the clerk and he would not give me change. Are you kidding me?! I just spent over $ 50 on gas, bought food, and paid an ATM fee and you can’t give me change to SPEND AT YOUR STORE. Absolutely ridiculous. I understand he should not be obligated to give change to anyone asking for it but as a paying regular customer I would expect better customer service. I will never return and would give zero stars if that was an option.

This place has lots of snacks! Pretty much anything you could ever want. It’s also conveniently located real close to I-​90 so if you need to fill up before hitting traffic, this is about as good a place as any. The two times I have been here were to grab a beverage and a few items to hold me over during rush hour. Prices are reasonable, the place is clean, and the cashiers have been friendly.

Came here around 11pm to get gas with some friends. It is a 24 hour gas station, but there was a handmade sign that said closed until 5 am, and you just see a guy all dressed to go.
This happened last night…

These guys want you to pay for tire air after you fill up your gas. Who does that?

Wow what a rip off! They have a GIANT sign next to the road advertising one price so i went to get gas. the price didn’t show up when i went to pump, but didn’t think anything of it. As i start pumping it shows that its 20 cents HIGHER than the advertised price… because i’m not paying in cash. are you f-​ing kidding me? when you’re charging me nearly $ 4/​gallon i’m paying with a credit card. The shell station down the road was almost 10 cents cheaper, which naturally agrivated me considered they advertised the accurate (credit card) price. i would never go back to this station even if i ran out of gas outside there, i’d rather walk 5 miles in the rain to the next station then go back there.

This Shell gas station is next to Bellevue College and right by the on-​ramp to I-​90 heading to Seattle.
This is one of those gas stations where pricing varies. If you don’t drive by this station often, the big gas price sign is somewhat deceptive. The price in large numbers is the cash only price. If you are paying with a credit/​debit card, add 10 cents per gallon onto the price. There is a Chevron up the road on Main Street that has the same type of deal. Honestly, I prefer stations with the same pricing for all.
I am just not into the cash only process because it requires me to head into the store to pay. If they had a cash machine in which I could insert money into, I would be a bit more open to this. Just not worth it from a convenience standpoint.
Anyhow, this gas station itself is fine. It definitely has the location going for it, but it is not one that I would go out of my way for.
