Double A Corporation

quick simple review… stop by a few times while nearby…1^st of mmmany gas station right off the fwy going north onto 19^th ave… cheap gas i nvr woulda even considered b4, but will do for loaners & rentals… one of those cheaper-​if-​u-​pay-​with-​cash-​or-​debit places… cashier & small snack area is open late… w/​bathroom access on the side… i wouldnt usually go, but i had a big olé bubble tea… figured i’d take a look for cleanliness… not bad… well lit, didnt smell, had tp & soap…

Cheap gas, and I’m talking about the quality. This place was only out of convenience for me. It was raining and I didn’t want to drive far from home to fill up and it was off 280. I wanted to pay in cash since I had some on me and I went into to pay. The guy inside was not paying attention to anything going on around him. He was too busy talking on his cell phone. I get it, you’re a gas station attendant… But dude you’re working… Get with it or get gone. I told him I wanted $ 20 for my pump. I overestimated and it only came out to $ 17-​$ 18. I went inside to get my refund and he pointed his finger to me as in «one second» (I hate that!!! It’s so rude!!) and he was sooooooo invested in his conversation. I was pretty irritated at that point and just wanted my money. He hands me my change and it’s short a few cents. In most cases I wouldn’t care but the fact that he was paying me no attention and just mindlessly counts the money and doesn’t say anything about not having the coins or whatever. Rude p.o.s!

Double AA now has new owner called Gas & Shop with new management and low gas price and lots of good things to buy.

I was having unexpected car trouble but managed to pull into this service station
before the engine died again. I rolled it in front of another car so it was out of the traffic. The mechanic approached me, yelling at me to move it so he could drive that car into the service bay. When I explained that I didn’t know if it would start, he got increasingly hostile and verbally abusive. At no time did this mechanic offer to help me with my car, ask if I were okay or anything, in spite of the fact that I was there for two hours waiting for a tow truck, then a taxi. I found his behavior pretty absurd and rude, given that he ostensibly makes his living working on cars and dealing with the public. Would you want him working on your car?

the place was built circa 1970 and hasnt been touched since. area is small so its easy to get cars backed up. getting in and out of the place is a good way to get into an accident. the pumps accept credit cards but not debit. its not horrible, but im willing to pay 5 – 10 cents more per gallon for decent facilities down the street.

Never thought id give a review for a gas station, i mean, its a gas station, you need it and no matter the cost, you buy it.
But this place is totally irritating. You can’t use a card at the pump… But they don’t tell you that, it’s doesn’t go through after waiting, then you have to go in to find out what the hell is going on. You go to the window they have, but she makes you come all the way in.
The woman who runs it is a total idiot too, I’d rather pay more for an easier to get in and out place that has 20^th century (yes 20^th) technology.

Average gas station. If you pull in while getting off on 280 and your gas cap is on the left side of your car (driver’s side), be very careful about pulling up to the first pump. It’s on a steep grade upwards and I can never fill my gas tank completely.
They used to have really cheap prices. Not sure anymore. probably cheaper than the Chevron kitty corner to it. Very hard to exit back onto 280 towards Junipero Serra/​19^th.
