Shell Station & Food Mart

I go to this station fairly often, as it’s open 24 hours. They have decent employees. The night shift employee, Nick knows his regulars, addressing them by name and having a quick chat. He’s a super nice guy and very helpful. Stay away from Hannah. Maybe I got her on a really bad day, but her attitude is less than welcoming.
The store is small, they don’t keep hot food out at night. It would be nice if they did, and I would probably stop in more often. But it’s usually kept quite clean.
Many people complain about the price, citing the 76 station next door is much cheaper. Well, unfortunately it’s not. The price they advertise outside is the «cash price» and you’ll pay more to use your credit or debit card. The Shell station factors this into their prices before hand and with their fuel rewards card, it actually comes out to be cheaper than the 76 station. So the moral of that story is, do your research!

This place was wonderful to me. I was driving through Eugene on a 300 mile trip, and when parked the car to get gas here, my engine smoked and I got so scared, it smelled really bad. Several workers came over and also some regular customers that were there and they all helped me with ideas and suggestions. Then one worker called her mechanic father for suggestions, and the workers called the owner to see if I could park the car there until I could get it towed, and as it was Memorial Day Weekend, I would have to leave it there till the following Tuesday. Then they helped me by recommending a cab service, showing a good motel to stay; all in all they were helpful, kind, wonderful people in a scary situation.

This Shell, that Shell… what the H***? Its expensive GAS in 2013! Come on, guys and gals… how about clean bio-​fuel or electric cars?
Apart from this, this particular Shell location has some cleaning up to do… bathroom was below par and the fuel seems to be higher because near freeway.

Helpful petroluem delivery technicians, good gas.

Gone, baby, gone. The Glenwood Shell went out of business about a year ago, becoming the ninth Eugene-​Springfield gas station to bite the dust in the past two years.
Oil companies are recording record profits, yet local gas stations can’t keep their doors open. Anyone smell a rat?

Road Trip Rules #4
Stop For Gas in Oregon
I love Oregon cuz they do not allow a lady to pump her own gas.
Who would have ever thought it —
Oregon leads the nation in chivalry!
Huzbeau tells me it’s really an economic policy to preserve jobs.
Hmph — I like my story better.
We were assited by Stan, who was at the ready with lots of doggie treats.
I was struck by the fact that Lola let Stan pet the top of her head immediately.
Usually, you try that with Lola, and she gets all pitbull on yo ass, adding fuel to the fire of pitbull fear and hatred.
Bad girl Lola.
While the dog mobile is getting fueled up, Stan tells me about his own pitbulls.
Being an old school kinda guy, Stan has an uncut pitty boy. He’s spayed his female because the boy was getting a little outta hand whenever she went into heat. We chat about pit bulls and the joy of dog ownership.
All the time, I really want to slam his skinny worn out red neck ass against the dog-​mo and let Lola have her way with him, but she loves him at first sight, so I just nod and listen —
besides, it’s Oregon, I’m a lady.
A friggin lady, I tell you.
I give him my dog rescue spiel all about neutering and responsible pet ownership, and the stressful and unhappy life of an unneutered male dog.
While I’m yammering away, Stan and Lola are staring deep into each other’s eyes, he’s murmering and I think she’s actually purring…
Well, I convince him to take his boy in and have him neutered…
I’m not sure how this happened, but I think it was the mysterious «Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets» phenomena.
Good girl Lola.
