Chevron

No parking spaces, no lottery, terrible pump layout. not enough room to turn around or get through on either side. this architect is whack.

The pumps here are so slow! C’mon people, get with times and upgrade your pumps. Otherwise, a fine place. It’s off the main road, well-​lit, clean, and not too crowded.

I feel like this is a very small gas station with a lot of space. There just aren’t that many pumps. I do like that they always seem to have soapy water in their windshield cleaners.
I got bad oil advice from an employee the other day that recommended a type of oil that totally is not what goes in my car. But she is a super nice lady — I recognized her from other visits in there.
In the same purchase I bought some Big Sunflower Seeds (Bacon Flavor) and they were pretty stale. This is common with that brand though so it’s probably no fault of the store.
This Chevron Mart is a little smaller than most of the other ones around here, and there’s one legal parking spot in front of it. That’s crazy!

The gas smells fine but appears to be on the pricey side. Wait! A review for just gas? No.
What warrants a rating here is the fact that around 7 in the morning some guy shows up with a pink box of donuts and sells them for $ 1.25. Now he’s making a little profit for himself, but more so he’s doing customers a favor. Off the menu and available for a limited time only! I don’t know where the donuts are from, but two days in a row they made me happy.

Sometimes I totally forget that there is such a thing called lunch. I totally forget that I get up early enough to make my own lunches, because I can do that, but I don’t.
I sometimes forget to get gas at the station up the street from my house on the way south too.
Take the S. Main Street exit and keep to the right lane. Pull in to a spot that’s open try to not get a spot that you have to turn around in.
That way, once your done getting gas you can pull out left on Parkside going towards either freeway entrance. One goes to San Jose and one goes to the 24 to Lafayette. Its super convenient.
Now to the lunch options. They have the usual gas station greasy hot dog, breakfast sandwich, churro, bean and cheese burrito fares.
But they also have Redi-​Pacs of Fresh Fruit. I bought a Minute Maid Kiwi Strawberry juice and a tub of precut Watermelon.
The Watermelon was fantastic. Just don’t forget to get a fork for the ride. It made it much easier to eat while driving. Oh and ask for wet naps because they usually give them out for free. I grab a hand full.
They don’t sell lottery tickets here either. One of the cashiers said it was because the owners thought it wasn’t worth the trouble. I have never seen a gas station with a big store not sell Lottery Tickets. Oh well.
This is my secret to convenience when my regular life becomes forgetful.
