ARCO ampm

There’s a guy inside who always goes out of his way to take care of me.
I never would have believed they made fresh cookies here, but they are sooo good.
The gas pumps are situated poorly, but this location is on the corner with two entrances so I’m not sure how they could have done it differently.
Cheap gas (cash, or debit with fee). They have a Chase atm inside with whom I happen to bank :)
Open 24 hours but I always seem to go when it’s packed.

Maybe I came at just the right time, but I see nothing to complain about here.
Yes, ARCO charges a fee for ATM/​Debit card use. Not news.
No, they do not take credit. Also not news.
And they’ve fixed it so that ATM cards are taken at the pumps. Only cash at the terminals.

Extremely disappointed with this specific place of business! On a busy Friday night my husband goes in buys a few things and also $ 40.00 in gas. Mind you we always double check what pump we are at out of habit. When my husband comes out to pump the gas. Not pumping… he goes in asked what the deal is and the man says you already pump gas! No we did not! The man puts our gas on pump 3 when we specifically said 9! Well no gas and was told to talk to manager next day in which we did. Manager said they have to go over video to make sure and he would call first thing Monday. Well 4 WEEKS GO BY AND NOTHING! Taking it to higher lvl. We just Want them to make right what they wronged it’s the principle!

I didn’t even want to give it one star. The men behind the counter are soo rude they speak in there own language and are not friendly i’ve seen them yell at customers and say NEXT! Don’t come here!!! Trash Place!

You have to walk in the store and pay in cash to get the best price. I wanted to use my credit card for travel rewards which it apparently doesn’t accept visa. it’s very limited in what it takes. I had to use my bank card. They charge a $ 0.35 transaction fee. And then after all of that I don’t get a receipt so I have to walk in the store to get a receipt. They should at least refund $ 0.35 I paid for the «convenience». I guess this is not the place to go when you’re in a hurry. Otherwise prices are good if you pay cash. Attendant not very attentive.

I just left the Arco on 16^th street after paying $ 20. for gas and getting nothing for my money. The attendant took my cash and when I went to the pump — nothing. I went back in and he told me that I told him a different pump number and there was nothing he could do. He yelled at me and told me it was my fault, that I should have asked for a receipt. He wouldn’t call the manager, either. After ½ hour of trying to get my money back I left without gas and out $ 20. Don’t give them your money!

After hitting the Sunday morning farmer’s market, I realized I was riding on the big old E. As in Empty. Yanked out my trusty Unilocal app and searched for the nearest gas station and put put putted my way over here. Thank you for being close by. Thank you for having not outrageous gas prices. Thank you for being close to the freeway. Thank you for having a bathroom.

Got a love cheap gas and all the crowded gas pumps but don’t like the panhandlers outside the store

10 pumps here!
Thank goodness my HB is with me to pump gas!
We normally don’t come to this Arco gas station bc the area can be sketchy. I would advise not coming here unless you are desperate.
Gas prices has started to rise again. Bummer huh? Unfortunately getting gas is a necessity so it’s a choice we cannot avoid but definitely we can decide where we pump gas.
We would only come back if necessary during the daytime!
Be alert and aware when you come to pump gas here!

OPEN 24 HOURS AND CASH ONLY! (They take debit too but you have to pay a $ 0.45 FEE!) Make it a point to NEVER EVER come here at night! It can get really shady in this particular area with panhandlers, homeless, drug addicts, etc. surrounding this place (Solely based on my previous encounters). They do, however, sell gas at cheaper rates versus 76, Shell, and Chevron – which is why try to come here during the daytime. There can be a bit of a wait at times, especially before 7AM and after 5PM, but usually it’s not too bad.
Their convenience store is PACKED with everything and anything you may need! They even have hot coffee and freshly baked donuts in the mornings! Even with all the positives this gas station might offer, I would still try to AVOID COMING HERE! The people around this neighborhood don’t seem to be mentally stable and I’d rather pay the extra $ 0.05 to ensure my overall safety!!!

You cant expect much from arco gas. You get what you pay for. The cashier was nice. I come for the lottery scratchers and win pretty often. My co worker comes for the candies.

3.839 reg Good hot coffre and with their coffee card everything 5^th coffee is free. Lots of variety for toppings and sweetners.
Great gas prices.

I decided to pay at the ATM outside because I wore a pair of 5 ½ inch pumps that i hadn’t broken in yet; therefore I needed to limit my steps today .well due to my error I entered the incorrect pump#; I entered pump#10 instead of #5.of course I realized it soon after I hit enter dammit! Well, I slowly strutted on inside, oh wait I looked over to see if someone was at #10 and it was empty, yes! I was 2^nd in line and explained what happened to the attendant that normally is at the register. so she entered something in the register then looked up at me and said «girl someone is pumping your gas».wth! I was inside probably only 3 mins… So we both rush outside and this lady is pumping away… I stayed behind to let the attendant approach her to explain etc… she «the gas grabber» has this OMG, are you accusing me of something look on her face. so they walk back inside and she had the audacity to say to me that I thought it was weird because this has never happened to her. um really? Well the attendant explained to her that she has to refund me $ 20 and she said she didn’t have any cash. the attendant told her to purchase a bottle of water and get $ 20 cash back which she did. I was satisfied that the attendant was proactive and the «gas grabber» was cooperative as well… I was late for work tho… still wondering the what if’swhat if she didnt have the money or what if she refused to pay? Hmmmmm

I gave them 2 stars because it’s an Arco so the prices really can’t be beat. But, the quality of service at this specific location is so lacking that I go elsewhere. I once came to fill up my tank and the service staff was so incredibly rude to me that I immediately drove to One Stop Gas and they’ve been my to go gas station ever since.

Yeah I go here.
Sometimes Its hella hard to get a parking spot for gas, and twice I have came here to put air in my tires and the machine was broke.. . but often Its easy to pull in and its right by the freeway on ramp. Even if its hard to get a spot its worth waiting, because its so cheap.. .
This is the Gas station I go to when Im about to go a on a road trip. Its perfect for gassing up, getting snacks and hopping on the freeway.
It can be full of bums and creeps so I don’t go late nights by myself.

16^th and W Arco is my go-​to spot for gas on the grid and beyond due to the low prices, nice amenities, stocked AM/​PM and friendly staff.
This station generally has the lowest priced gas in the area, as land park is crazy expensive and other stations on the grid are branded. There is a couple cents cheaper place down the block, but it isn’t as nice. It is located conveniently off the freeway and on main thoroughfares.
The staff are usually friendly. They have the atm/​cash machines working again. They fill up the windshield washing stations with windex water and functional/​newer wipers. The pumps are clean and the panhandlers usually keep it to the road and freeway exit.

You know, if you know me, you know that I like to keep it real at the gas station. I like to keep it real everywhere I go though. You know why? Because I’m not scared. Even if someone is gonna come after me and try to kill me, in a crowded ass place like this in broad daylight, you can bet there is someone crazier than I am around, especially on W Street, that is going to be doing the beating for me. This part of town is getting kinda nasty as hell.
So if you wanna hear how the gas tastes, move on to these other reviews. But if you want to know how to keep it real in a gas station, then read on, partner. I’m about to teach you how to keep America beautiful.
Anyway, I was driving along down W Street and this god damn female crackhead throws a bag with a bunch of rocks in it at my car. The bag hit my baby girl’s window. Baby gets hella scared and starts BAWLING. I slow way the fuck down and I catch that twisted old bitch kinda snickering in my rear views. Her time to get a pass just passed her by. It is now GO time.
It’s time to give this old skeezy ho directions to the ho store.
So I kinda had to collect myself, take a minute and think about what’s important here. It came pretty quick: What is fucking important here is that bitches not throw sacks of rocks at my car. If I gotta get beat up to make this point, I will. But I highly doubted she could beat me at a coin flip. She was on one for sure.
With these kinds of ignorant, dysfunctional, drug-​addicted people, the first thing you gotta know is that they are a bunch of pussies. There may be 2 exceptions, they don’t live in downtown Sacramento. They have no pride or loyalty. They just want to fuck up. But the funny thing with these kinda lowlifes is that when you call them out, they run like little bitches and apologize. But if you don’t call them out, they are going to keep on keeping on the way they do, and these kind of reckless assholes could really fucking hurt somebody! They immediately assume if you’re normal that you aren’t going to fuck with them. But let me tell you what makes a woman go abnormal: endangering her child. She fucked up there. What if the god damn window was open?! This is when you know it is time to tell a bitch what time it is. Martha Stewart would jump out of her car over this shit. But we know she is a bad bitch.
So I swerve into the gas station, mad as hell, and lock the baby in the car facing away from the situation. This is important, because Baby was already scared. I was just kinda fucking baffled as to what to say to this woman. So I decide to just ask her, because you gotta keep it simple with the junkies:
«Why is that sack of rocks in the street?»
«I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.»
«Didn’t mean to what?»
«I…»
“What is in that bag?”
«It definitely isn’t mine, ma’am.»
«Girl, don’t call me ma’am. You are old enough to be my mother and you are throwing sacks of rocks in the street?! You could have hit my baby. She is only three. Is this all you do all day? Go pick that shit up!»
Then I swear to god this grown ass woman looks at me like Zoey does when I catch her playing with my make-​up. So I say:
«Pick them up.»
«Well I have been having a rough time.»
«Clearly! Go pick your fucking rocks up! What is your problem? Go where you go and get that sack of rocks out of the street before I call the cops up at Starbucks!»
And I swear, she went and picked them right up off the street and ran her skanky ass all the way down W Street opposite the direction of the Starbucks. That crazy olé ho was wearing shorts in the wintertime too like a crazy bitch. In the meantime, the attendant came out and two Asian ladies that didn’t speak English had gathered and just kind of looked at me. One of the two Asian ladies took a fucking picture while I was yelling at that biznitch! I asked them why they are taking a picture, and they just start saying «thank you.» I look at the attendant kind of like he is the biggest pussy in the world since clearly this crazy old bitch was causing all kinds of problems on his watch. Fucking lazy ass men like this are the reason the world is the way it is. Man up, punk. I’m sure I wasn’t the first bitch this skeezer threw rocks at!
I didn’t want to get mad at the touristy Asians or tell the attendant he was a pussy, so I just kind of whatevered the situation and peaced the hell out.
But the point is, why do people allow others to act in this fashion? Clearly this lady was a problem. But if there’s one punk you don’t have to fear it is a crackhead in broad daylight. Word to Big Bird. Call these bitches out. They have no loyalty to anything but the crack or whatever the hell they are on. Who even knows anymore.
I do not like this gas station. Don’t need their air, water, or gaseousness. This review is dedicated to my sister who taught me the necessity of calling a bitch out. She likes to stay out of the trenches these days but I think if it were her she would have done the same or worse.

Pro: cheaper gas places in Sac and I think they remodeled it a while ago so at least the facility is nicer and the pumps work.
Con: doesnt take credit cards, so I have to pay in cash, tends to be crowded and sometimes it can be hard to get in and out depending on the traffic since it is so close to the freeway.

This place isn’t really dangerous or anything, its just really depressing to get gas here. There is usually a line to get gas, and if you use your ATM card the price is higher.
I say go a block south to One Stop Gas or even 76 and avoid this place altogether. For me, saving .30 cents on a tank of gas isn’t worth dealing with the bums, long lines and grumpy customers.

I normally stop by here on my way to work to get gas when I used to live 3 blocks down the street. At 7am this station is busy! If you’re in a hurry to get somewhere this is not the spot you want to stop by.
Pros: Cheap gas and the location is awesome.
Cons: I hate that AM/​PM charges you for ATM fee but they don’t take Credit Cards??? It’s only $.45 but that’s $.45 can go towards my gas LOL. A lot of homeless people wander around this station. Leave me alone… I already gave you a dollar yesterday.
