Manoa Mart

This is one of those places where I know I wrote a review but it got lost in the realms of cyber space…
Anyway, I used to come here to fill in gas if I was driving around at 4 AM. Their pumps are open ²⁴⁄₇ or at least it seems that way. I don’t normally come here anymore at odd hours so I go to other places where their gas doesn’t smell funny when you’re driving.
Manoa Mart has your average convenience store items… nothing fancy but it’s clean and the guy I had helping me was very nice. They have an ATM inside and sell papers.
I would come here if I had to but I won’t choose this place over 7 – 11. 7 – 11 is the place to try out new items like Tapatio fritos… which btw, are DELICIOUS.

Cheapest gas in manoa guaranteed. show ur maikai card from foodland and save $.05 off every gallon. most expensive liqueor :(

Average mini mart. They got the soda, the chips, the icee, the spam musubi — practically everything you could want at a convience store.
Parking Wise. ⁵⁄₅. There is always parking available when I come here.
Service. ⁵⁄₅. Once I dropped a $ 20 bill outside the store and didn’t even notice that until the worker returned it to me.
Overall: Only bad thing that I could think of is that sometimes on Sundays they are cleaned out on chips due to so much sales during the weekend.

When I’m in Manoa, this is the mini mart to go to. The workers are pretty cool, and they have a good assortment of stuff to drink. I tend to buy water here, powerade, diet mountain dew, etc. My friend buys American Spirits here… I used to sometimes buy chips and other snacks. When I was in this weird hard-​boiled egg phase, these guys had it near the register along with slices of pound cake, and i think i’ve seen brownies… I think they have an Icee machine too. They have a good parking lot, and a clean, well-​kept store.

Manoa Mart is listed as one of the «Maikai Card» discounted gas vendors. The last two times we went there, we insisted that the discount wasn’t showing on the pump. The last time, the person corrected it. This time, the woman insisted that once we pumped, it would come up and she’d show me the receipt. I told her no, but followed her instructions.
The pump still showed the regular price. The receipt showed the regular price $ 3.549. She kept insisting that was 5 cents off of 3.54 and ⁹⁄₁₀ (which is what shows on the sign). She insisted 49 is 5 less than 54. I asked for the manager, who wasn’t there, and she just shrugged me off like I should go because she’s done with me.
I went back this morning and the man working (he’s usually there when we go) said he didn’t understand what the error was, and the boss wouldn’t be there until about 11.
Just totally disappointed in the way the woman dealt with me — arguing that she was correct and basically wanting me to get lost. I should have told her to get a calculator and show it to her on the calculator!

Yay Manoa Mart!
Conveniently located in beautiful Manoa valley with the cheapest gas in the area.
Thanks for filling up my tank for cheap (ish), and thanks for providing me with a refreshing icee after a hot day at the park.
