City Square Shell Service Station

Say you go to a fruit stand. The gentle, old man who runs it likes the cut of your jib, and tosses you a free plum. You stock up on more luscious, ripe whatever and GTFO.
The next week, you swing by again, and once more, a free plum arcs its way towards you. You have a rapport; you have an ally. A tradition. And so it goes for many weeks.
Then, one day, a younger version of the old man is at the stand. He’s more direct, less chatty, and never curls his lips. He’s sterile. And the prices have increased significantly. Who charges $ 2.50 for an apple? The guy without competition, he says sans emotion.
And just like that, you stop eating plums.
Price per gallon is anywhere from $ 0.80-$ 1.00 higher than surrounding gas stations (add another dime for credit), and everyone pays for air (with a scoff at the thought of any other way). They’ve pulled the sixth pump, so as not to trap motorists, but a line inevitably forms, because there’s no other choice.

Awkward location and terrible service. I went to this station this afternoon to fill up my tank and top off my tires. Had a little trouble with one tire and ran out of quarters for the pump. The attendant was hostile, insisting that «I have nothing» while closing the cash drawer so I couldn’t see if that was the case. Bear in mind: I was trying to make change to do business at his establishment. I wound up walking a considerable distance to get a few quarters, re-​inflated the tire, and got out of there as quickly as I could. I always thought paying at the pump seemed a little impersonal, but compared to the reception I got from this employee, it’s like a Noël Coward play. Stay away.

So considering how busy this Shell is I cant believe there arent more Reviews… The shape of the place is just plain odd… There are only 6 pumps (1 little row) and often have to wait for other cars in line to even be able to pull up to pump… Just a real busy location, I just love it recently because the price of gas is just plain ridiculous, I shouldnt have to make life decisions when buying gas… But have been using Shell because of Stop & Shop Gas points. Every little bit helps!
