A Plus Sunoco

I locked myself out of the house & car & I really had to use the bathroom. I ran across the street to Sunoco and asked if I could use the bathroom. The girl at the counter was polite but said they don’t have public restrooms. I told her my predicament & that I was a neighbor from across the street and asked if I could use the employee bathroom. It was an emergency! Then the manager, Sherry started scolding me and acting as if I was harassing the girl. I told her she didn’t have to be rude. She stared at me with a look that actually made me feel extremely intimidated. I buy gas at this place. If I owned a business I would never let my employees treat customers or neighbors like that. You are lucky I’m not your boss Sherry. If I were, you’d be fired.

This a gas station/​convenience store. It’s like all other stores, but they have one service that I have never seen before.
THE GREATEST IDEA EVER:
They serve craft draft beer behind the counter. You buy a 64 oz Growler and they will fill with a decent selection of fine craft beer for around 10 bucks.
The place is also open late, so you can grab a great draft beer late night if you want and drive away.
What’s not to like, and by the way I didn’t see or deal with any muggings.
Thanks

Definitely a really sketchy location. This is one of those places where you keep an eye out while you’re filling up your tank. Not unusual for a downtown location, especially after dark, but it was the closest to Dino BBQ and we were just looking to get it and go. Since I’ve been to dozens of worse places, this can be a 1 star, but they could attempt to light the place better, maybe put up some barrier, so you don’t feel exposed from all sides, or maybe just more visible security. Just to make it more laughable, the receipt printer was broken – which I think is a standard gas station joke.

PRICY GAS but closest to SU campus. This place is well lit and is opened late or maybe 24 hours. There is a lot of traffic in and out of this place so even though it is a bit sketchy. I feel some sort of security.

I’m not quite sure if I really hate this place or really love it. It’s always so random here. I tend to frequent it because 1) I live Downtown and there’s no real grocery store here 2) it’s close to I-​81 N which I use quite a bit and 3) because it’s one of the few places to get beer at night without driving that far.
It’s like I know it’s going to be weird even before walking in and yet it never fails to surprise. Last time, the cashier talked (at me) about: Jessica Simpson, her cousin, and my birthday. I was just buying beer and yet left with a wealth of information about all these totally random people. There was also a baby chilling near the counter and a guy with a limp walking around through the isles.
It’s one of the few places to buy beer Downtown so I usually end up going here out of necessity (I do go at night on occassion and have never had a real problem. I also get ID’ed every time because I’m 30 and yet look like I’m 16. This is usually followed by a story or two from one of the two cashiers).
I have no idea what to rank this as. They have beer. So, 2… 2 stars? I guess?

This Sunoco is not nearly as bad as the previous racist reviewer made it out to be (What the fuck is an attempted mugging? Is getting attempted mugged by black guys somehow worse than getting attempted mugged by anyone else?).
Still, the beer is expensive, and you’ll definitely get asked for money by some people out front (people here are friendly, not aggressive, but it’s still annoying).

If you value your safety, avoid this place, especially after dark. A group of black guys tried to mug not only me but also my friend on a separate occasion. This doesn’t even take into account the always rude employees. They treat you like crap no matter how pleasant you are to them. Avoid this Sunoco location like the plague! It’s also right across the street from an apartment complex that houses mostly registered sex offenders so beware.
