Mobil

Are people here for a 5-​star restaurant or to get gas for their car? Good question actually. I got some gas for my car which made my day, no problemas so I give it 5 stars

this is place is extraordinary. The Indian tea is beyond delicious, fresh made samosas, cheap cigarettes, craft beers… i think this place should be featured on a Travel/​Food show.

So today was the first time I went there. The egg salad looked fresh. So I asked the guy there when was it made. He said just now. Off course it tasted so bad like was made at least a week ago when we got home so we had to throw it to the garbage. Also got few drinks. Tropicana 2/​$ 7. Sounds good. And again after we opened the drink it was expired. A month old. !!! Also. We dropped a box of Peanuts on the floor. Said sorry gave it to the guy on the counter telling him it fell. He charged it and threw it to the bag (it’s only a $ 1) but still very annoying. Without telling us. At least be honest and say that we have to pay for it. I won’t mind. But the way he did it. Made me mad !!! I will not go there again. Will not eat there again. I wonder if the gas there is fresh or expired too .
I wish they will have some decent places here to shop in lic …

Their produce are all bad. I cut open an orange which was so dry that you can use it as a sponge. They have tons of different merchandise but they’re all expired or about to be. Extremely overpriced too. This is the only gas/​grocery that is open ²⁴⁄₇ around the area so i dont see this place going out of business. Their location is awesomely placed (around new apartments and hotels). Basically: this is a textbook nyc «BODEGA»
PS this place smells like someones armpit.

Be careful at this Mobil. Many if the soft drinks and juices have expired months ago. The employees are very rude and do not care about customers. One didn’t know how to use the credit card machine and tried to blame me (???). I did without and went somewhere else. Buyer beware.

I can’t believe the Mobil gas station is not yet on Unilocal and I’m the one to add it! It is a great resource for people north of Queensboro Plaza and south of Astoria in the «Dutch Kills» area where, as everyone who lives here knows, there are not enough grocery options. To find better options without getting anything delivered, you almost have to hop on the subway. I’m a regular here, and the guys working there tend to recognize me and give me little discounts every now and then, especially late at night.
The gas station came to mind tonight because I was discussing it with people I met at the Elite Unilocal event at Alobar. It is such a strange and wonderful place, so much more than just a gas station, where you never know what you will find. In addition to the obvious things like gas, Lotto, sodas, energy drinks, candy, and cigarettes, the Mobil station is jammed to the gills with all manner of random items. Hopefully the odd juxtapositions of this list will impart the multi-​cultural, little-​bit-​of-​everything vibe:
* Baklava
* Craft beer
* Frozen whole turkeys
* Mangoes
* Saran-​wrapped corn cobs
* «Sex milkshakes» and «sex energy drink»
* Mouse glue traps
* Samosas
* Salad bar
* Toilet bowl cleaner
* Monkey wrenches
* Hard-​boiled eggs
* Detergent
* Bargain DVDs
* Watermelons
* German chocolate bars
* Pita bread
Come check it out if you’re ever in my nabe! You will never run out of new snacks to try.
