Hess Express

So nobody told me that you can’t pump your own gas in NJ. I thought this place was a special throw back to better days. Then I found out that it’s just the way it is. But still for being an out of towner its nifty. THe gas station itself is just a gas station. Nothing special and nothing particularly bad about it. I bought a juice and a bag of pretzels and aside from getting gas that was the extent of my visit. Though the pump guy could have been a bit nicer. He scolded me for getting out of my car to pump the gas before explaining it. They should have better signs.

This place sucks. It sucks so bad I had to add the business just to write this review. 6 years I’ve been coming here and it’s the same crappy experience every time-​was it Einstein who said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
Gas prices are fair. Gas pumpers are absolute idiots. I worked at a gas station in high school (it was a great job actually), so I know it doesn’t take a whole lot of intellectual ability to do the job. However, it does take some sense to be able to have multiple cars pumping at the same time… sense that these guys just don’t have. It also doesn’t help that these guys don’t speak a whole lot of English either so having to ask three times to ‘fill it up with regular’ is a bit annoying. The guys inside are no better… surly, don’t seem to want to do their job, seem to have forgotten how far a smile can go with customers.
Oh well, in a pinch-it’s a gas station. Given the option, I’ll wait to go elsewhere.
