Citco 249

How do you go from a 4 star gas station to a 1? By deceiving your customers and them finding out. Since the opening of the Raceway in front of it and the rapid deterioration of the gas pumps and car wash you can tell the owner (s) are hurting. What happened?
If you look at the Marquee sign, it usually has a price but in small wording for example $ 2.95 gallon *when using a gas gift card*. Who in their right mind these days walks around with GAS gift cards? We don’t even like walking around with Best Buy, Target, etc etc etc gift cards but that’s the rue of it. They have to advertise the price to «show» at least a nickle or more cheaper than the new kid on the block across the street. I have to admit it is hard to beat Raceway’s prices but at least get within a nickle of your competitor or get out. I forgot about this and slipped my debit card in there just to see the price winking at me at around $ 3.49 per gallon of REGULAR gas. Are you kidding me? Everybody in Houston has their highest price level at around $ 3.09 (Thank you gov’t shut down).
The windshield washing plastic caddies are either not stocked with paper towels to clean your windows while you give them your money but either have no window washing fluid in it or the fluid comes out dirtier than the guy standing on the corner’s bucket of slim that he tries to wash yours with.
Car wash, used to be the deal of the century for me. I would pass about six gas stations, 5 miles from my home just to use the combination of what I thought I was getting a good deal on the gas price and for the $ 2 car wash. Oh, it creeped up, it is now $ 3.75. Still a good deal considering most stations start at $ 5 for the basic wash.
Now to the paying part. If you would like to see how much gas has already gone in your tank or how much deceptively you are paying for the gas now you will be lucky to have found one unit that either has a working paper receipt expender, or a screen that works so you can monitor what you want to put in. A lot of them look like this now
