ARCO ampm

Honest employees!
We drove off without getting our $ 12 change, and they kept it and gave it to us when we called later. Thanks, AM PM!

This place is a DUMP! Something is always broken. I went in to get a fountain drink
1. LOSE ALL THE LAKERS CRAP YOU HAVE DISPLAYED IN THIS STORE!!!
2. out of ice
3. out of fountain drinks (every variety)
4. out of napkins in every single napkin dispenser in the store
5 .multiple full cups of fountain drinks stacked on the counters (obv left by several people b4 me)
6. homegirl @ the counter does not care if you purchase items or not she is too busy on her cell phone checking her vm’s will not acknowledge you what so ever.
7. the counter and register area is GRIMEY and saturated in FILTH. Im sure they have rats and roaches there is no way they cant.
Never going back… I will coast to the one on X street if needed. That girl is WORTHLESS

I’ve never been here when there hasn’t been a broken pump or broken payment terminal. There is a better maintained arco on the other side of the freeway with lower prices. I wish this location had their act together.

The staff at this location are friendly and service orientated… at least the younger petite woman working here is since that is the main person I have dealt with. She greets everyone warmly and is very sweet! The store itself is always clean and stocked. The outside is another matter.
This seems to be the go to spot for the middle class panhandlers. There is one couple who work the parking lot on a regular basis. Guess I should give them props for showing up to what is their job everyday. However, the woman panhandler is a bit aggressive at times and you have to have a sort of «f» you attitude for her to take a hint.
The young man who works inside has come out and tried to run them off, but they just move it across the street and then eagle eye from there to find an opening to come back when staff is not watching. They also tend to work the sides of the building where there is no windows for staff to see them.

It’s possible I am here more to air up my bike tires more than pump gas
I like walking in to pay. It’s entertaining. You got your SUV driver that puts $ 5 worth and then runs back to complain that his needle is barely passing the E. You got your lady that is super concerned the ATM charge causing her account problems. Also too much not so good stuff, if you are into that sort of thing. Check it out and grab some beef jerky and pb crackers.
Gas isn’t very pricy here either. So there is that. BOOM.

Honey came I to return a winning scratch off for 10 bucks and before the Preet or freet lady (her name) even looked at it she said she had no money to cash it. he said 10 bucks? Then she snatched the card and threw the money out and motioned for who is next with out asking if he needed anything else. He wasnt done and told her that but when she kept her disgusted look on her face he walked out not buying the tobacco products he wanted. there was also a person trying to get a slurpee but they didnt notice the tape that didnt say out of order and rather than say sir it doeant work she sarcastically told him just like this «This machine is out of order, it only has tape on it but NO you people just keep on using it over and over»…so someone said why not put a sign and she said due to inspection??? So here is my take. This broad must be family because noone works at a spot and loses or dismisses business without fear of termination. No employee or store owner should be THAT flippin rude. She reminded me of DMV workers or smud people who can be assholes because we HAVE to use them! Rude people belong at DMV. Get a job you like, dont be a miserable BZ losing business for the owners of the place geez! What can we really say about a gas station? we can say go to one of the other 4 within 5 blocks of them thats what!

What can you really say about a gas station? They have gas… and drinks and snacks inside. There is the usually homeless/​drug addict begging for money.

Always has the cheapest gas, has my favorite icee and my daily cheeseburger. It’s opens 24 hours which is a plus it kind scary at night

This happened today, June 28, 2013. The automatic shutoff valve on the gas pump I used was broken. Instead of shutting off when the tank was filled, gasoline sprayed out all over me and all over the ground. I told the attendant. She insisted there was nothing wrong with the pump, because «They already fixed it.» So apparently they had problems with that pump before. Then she tried to say it was my fault. While we argued, I felt a burning on my hip where I was drenched with gas. In the bathroom I found I was developing a first-​degree burn there, like a sunburn. Sill the attendant would do nothing. She wouldn’t even hang an «Out of Order» sign on the pump. I wonder how many people have to suffer gasoline burns before they do something about it?

Come here if you like being panhandled.

Half the time there is nothing in there. No hot dogs, burgers or nachos even though its advertised outside. I stopped by with coworkers the other day and no lotto tickets as well. I was told its because of new ownership. I will stop by this week and hopefully lotto will be sold.

Go here Mid Day on a weekday and its an ok place to get gas. However, at busier times this place is just best avoided. Access is difficult when its busy and its possible to get stuck in here till people are done taking their time getting gas and groceries.
Also, be ready to be asked for money, its almost guaranteed you will be approached and asked for money during your fill up. Sometimes by more than one person.
One stop gas or the other AM PM on 16^th is a better choice.

OK, this is the gas station closest to my house so I’m here a lot. That’s the ONLY reason I go here. Typically if I’m not in a hurry I’ll go to the ARCO on 16^th street ‘cuz it’s not so scary.
There usually is someone begging for money in the parking lot «‘cuz they’ve run out of gas.» Or they want to wash your windows. Or something. The panhandling at this station is whack.

This place is fine in broad daylight. I didn’t feel unsafe. The pay machines were not working though, so that was annoying.
It is cheap, though, so I keep going here.

I hate this place in the AM OR the PM. Getting in and out is a giant pain in the ass. Being approached and harassed for money is a pain in the ass too. We were running on empty and had to stop here. Also needed water. Just a big hassle for folks like us who just want to be left alone and on our way.
Pain in the ass.

it’s ok. kinda sketchy. really hard to turn out of. cheaper prices than the 76 at 24^th and broadway.

Let me put it this way:
Go here if you direly need gas and are already breathing your gas fumes inside the car. Otherwise, I’d go to the AM/​PM on 16^th. Its cleaner and I felt a lot safer.
There was some sort of ruckus going on and I almost left in a hurry without paying due to fear of being shot.
Gas is good since it is needed. Getting shot as an innocent bystander is not.
