76

BAD. BAD. BAD. 1^st of all they had the worse service ever in a gas station. I walked in said hello because I walked right in front of the two sales associates and they didn’t even turn to take my order and then she started talking to the guy and the guy was like there’s a costumer and she looked at me and said «sorry only cash» WHAT THE HELL I was gonna pay with Apple pay but the fact that I couldn’t even pay with any credit card was dumb and plus her attitude was ugly. and I use 76 gas stations with my rewards card now I don’t even wanna go to 76 gas stations tbh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa… so much hate for this place. I mean, I don’t love it, it’s just a gas station but it is my go-​to gas station.
Pros:
— Drive until the 94 ends and it is the first thing you run into — across the street from SILO and Monkey Paw.
— The car was. Fill up your ride and get a $ 6.00 — $ 8.00 automated wash.
Cons:
— I hate the locking mechanism on their gas pump handles. They are tough to lock into place and slow once you have it locked, so you’re better off pumping by hand.
That’s about all I use this place for and have never had a issue with anything at all…

The worst attendant ever. I’ve given them so many chances and now I’m at the end of my rope. The «giant» gentlemen whom never gets out of his seat for anyone is a bad example for this chain. Zero customer consern.

This gas station is a little off the beaten path and is not all that appealing visually. However, it has the cheapest gas in downtown San Diego so therefore it receives 3 stars.
The actual convenience store is nothing special, has your standard selection of drinks and candy. The downfall with this place comes that there is usually something in the store that is not working properly.
If you aren’t in need of anything from inside, and just need to fill up on gas, it’s a great spot. Otherwise I’d fill up elsewhere.

You are not allowed to enter the snack shop (dude tells you to look into store 25 ft through window to shop).
Small bottle of water is $ 3.50?!?
Really dangerous neighborhood.

Gas is cheap, but don’t always have it… Seriously. I have been there once and they were literally out of 87. Or sometimes only half the pumps work. Maybe there are some sketchy folk around, but it’s also not in a great part of downtown. I think we all know that once you pass Market and Park…
Hope I’m not giving away a secret gem, but typically gas is $ 0.30-$ 0.40 cheaper than other places… So it deserves the day time swing by and maybe slightly longer wait!

This gas station is a joke. They advertise lower gas prices for cash. I been here 6 different times after work recently & the debit machine has been broken each time. I think it’s a scam to get business. That on top of the attendant always being away from the window is enough for me to decide to start getting gas somewhere else.

Actually decent priced gas. It’s well lighted & always looks clean. Only problem you do get that sketchy types wandering about at times.

I was on my way home from work, needed gas, and this was the first station that I came to. The pumps were old and slow, so I only bought one gallon, and went to another station right around the corner.

This gas station is near my apartment and I always try to give it and the people working there the benefit of the doubt. 90% of the time the store’s door is locked with a huge sign saying OPEN on the door. This isn’t at weird hours or anything and I first I thought the lady working behind the counter was just counting money to put in a safe or something. But when I realized that this was happening every time I tried to purchase something, it started to be highly coincidental. To get to the point, the prices of food and beverage items vary daily and she charged us as if we were getting a frothy Venti from Starbucks or something with the price she charges for vitamin water. The place looks empty as if they couldn’t care less if it burned down. Today I went to purchase an energy drunk begrudgingly, seeing that by some miracle of God the door was actually Open! I went inside and grabbed the beverage and brought it to the register as she was small talking to some guy in Spanish and talking shit about this ‘person’ not present. I guess she must think white people don’t understand Spanish, or quite possibly she didn’t even care. She rings me up while chit chatting with this guy and he leaves and she asks if I want to use credit or debit. I respond ’ debits fine’. I swipe and she punches some buttons and I enter my pin and then she punches some more buttons and says ’ your card not ready’. I respond ’ what does that mean?’. ’ it means your card is not ready’. ’
‘Ok try credit’, I say. She responds ‘I tried it 3 times told you your cards not ready and you froze my computer’. Well crap I’m thinking, I’ve done some serious damage to this poor women’s machine, because here I am in 2013 using a debit card. Having worked in retail, I know the tricks of using a plastic bag over the card to swipe it, or even the good old fashion typing it in by the number hell carbon copy. I was shoed away with my useless card. It’s really sad that people in customer service operate this way. I wish it was just that this lady has bad days, but apparently every day is a bad one for her. Godspeed fatso!

They have pretty good prices on gas.
Their location is very convenient.
Station equipped with an air pump.
Gas station is great by itself.
But this guy over the counter is such bad guy. he is so annoying and unhelpful. He never understands what you ask, just makes lazy ass face, like I am trying to borrow money from him. He never picks up his ass when someone need help. He always take 20 minutes brakes to smoke, take a shit or whatever, so if you are paying cash — enjoy your 20 minutes waiting.
Another person who work here is an old lady. I am not going to tell anything bad about her, because she is an old lady. But she is probably a mother of that guy above. And he is her favorite sun, who act exactly as his mother does.

yuck … what a sh*t hole this dump is and i swear the fat Bastard that works at night is the grumpiest D**k head i have ever met in my life if the gas wasnt so cheap and i did not work 2 blocks away i would never come here but it is what it is … be careful of who and what is around you i always have my knife on me and im always alert and keeping an eye out when filling up here !
F**K this place, ladies be careful especially if you are pretty, guys will be dirty perverts here i almost beat someones ass a few months ago for perving on a young pretty female teenager getting gas she was obviously scared so i punked the guy being disrespectful !!!

I try to avoid this place at night because there can be some less than friendly people hanging around. I always get asked if I have some spare change when I stop here, so I have learned to use the pumps that are facing the cashier because I am paranoid.
I once had a flat tire that I needed to be filled, and the attendant was extremely friendly and even helped me out. Anyway, the prices here are always much cheaper than the surrounding gas stations (if you pay with cash). If you’re not around the area, it’s definitely not worth it to make the trek, but it does the job if you are.

This 76 definitely has the best prices for gas but the idiot lady manager constantly locks the damn door and it’s like a big trick they play to get people to pay with cash vs. using debit card. They draw people in with the CASH/​DEBIT price of .10 cents lower vs. Credit Card but half the time, no matter what time of the day I go there, the inside is locked with that damn ‘closed for 10 minutes’ sign.
I called the lady out on it once and I knew she was BSing and she finally opened the door to allow me to use my Debit Card! I called the 76 HQ 3 times about the issue but it never seems to resolve. There’s only one guy who works here who is nice– the bigger, more feminine spoken (lol) guy. He’s always open and always friendly. But the lady is a b*tch and the other two guys are rude.
I still come here because it’s cheap but I swear one day someone will go A Wall on these people for all the times they close up the shop, no matter what time of day! (Not just at crack head hours of 2am-​4am). I’m talking mid-​day, 3 in the afternoon, etc. It’s a joke!
One final thought, if you’re a girl and don’t carry heat, you might not want to visit this location after 10pm and before 5am. Locks of crack jobs here. There’s not a visit that I go where I don’t get hassled for money. It’s starting to get old. I even saw a few aggressive types lingering around, but they won’t mess with me ha.

The only thing that this station has going for it is that it is usually on the cheaper end for gas in the downtown area if you pay by cash (they offer a reduced price if you pay by cash instead of by card). The station is in fairly decent shape, but is in an «exciting» part of downtown that attracts many interesting characters so beware of your surroundings.
The service here is HORRIBLE. The cashiers are unfriendly, never say hello, never smile, in fact they rarely say anything, unless they are arguing with a customer (which I have seen on numerous occasions) allowing a huge line to form. Most of the time you can’t even go inside because the attendant has the door locked. They are so cheap too that none of the pump terminals EVER have paper to print out a receipt if you pay by card, you have to ALWAYS go inside to ask for a receipt, and they seem super irritated that you go in and ask for one!
If you’re not in real need of gas, I’d go somewhere else.

Terrible service from the attendant. He was talking back to the little old lady in front of me, talking to her like if she was an idiot. I was buying a bunch of junk food and gas, when I paid he said «do you have 7 cents? I said «NO» he said «I don’t have change» with an I don’t give a F*** attitude, he was leaning back on his chair the whole time! I know it’s only a gas station, but have some respect with the customers. He’s lucky he has a job.

76 HAS GREAT GAS BUT…
this station is in a dicey spot. Be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine.
If you are not in desperate need of gas, it is probably better to go somewhere else though.
Every time I have been there it was clean and well kept, maybe because people try to avoid this station in the first place: p

Come visit Rapey McStabbyville’s finest attraction! You’ll like this gas station if:
1. You are lost in a questionable, unfamiliar area and are really desperate for even just a gallon of gas because your gas tank is yellow lighting it.
2. You like being approached by crackheads who are ballsy enough to knock on your car window and spew out a monologue about how they «just came from New York» and need «only $ 5…for a taxi.» (I saw Basketball Diaries. I see what you’re doing here.)
3. You like being ripped off because the sign advertises regular unleaded (87 octane) as $ 4.12, but at the pump, it’s $ 4.22, and the station charges you the more expensive price.
4. You are willing to put up with being ripped off because you’re in fear of your safety, with all the crackheads and shady characters walking around the station at 10:30pm on a weeknight, and arguing with the attendant is in direct opposition of your primary goal to GTFO of the area ASAP.
5. As a young woman (or even as a young man), you are lucky enough to have your FBI friend in the car with you to protect you from riff raff… and actually need him to protect you from the riff raff.
6. You have no regard for your personal safety.
…
For the rest of you, I may or may not have agreed with the idea that «Bad decisions make for good stories» but in the case of this gas station, definitely not worth a story. Except for this cautionary tale review.
