Arco S & L

Meh, not really. The prices tend to be low relative to the nearby Chevron, but it’s kind of sketch. There’s always a guy or two asking me where I’m going today. It’s usually not the guy behind the counter/​bullet-​proof window though, which I guess is a win for the franchise. And speaking of the counter guy, I once gave him $ 20 and he only programmed the machine for $ 15. He corrected it when I went inside to bug him, but I was thinking, seriously? $ 15 instead of $ 20? That’s not even a mistake, really. It’s not like he mistook the bill for a $ 5 or $ 10. I just felt weird about the whole thing. I feel weird about the whole place. Don’t come here unless you have to. And make sure there’s some daylight.

I haven’t been to this place in years. I remember some trucker type guys and some Richmond gangsters. Don’t go here unless you have to. It is a rough area to say the least. Think of it as Compton and you will understand what it’s like. Watch your back!
Still has low Arco prices… so it has that going for it.
