“A great station for all your gassy needs. Usually cheaper than other stations on the island. Super convenient to turn left out of the lot onto the side street and get away from the traffic. Good location, good prices, the people inside are nice too.Thanks for alll the gas!”

“this is my main Safeway gas. I love Alameda. Southshore especially. Only thing I don't like is inside the gas station store doesn't have much goodies or snacks to buy . The store part does 'suck' sorry to say, but it's true. Every cashier that works there, never smiles, but hey.... who knows what a person is going through (all the time tho?) Other than that, The Safeway store itself and the rest of Southshore makes up for Safeway gas, which I always enjoy to go to.. I would love to see a remodeled updated Safeway gas station in the near future.... I will take pics on my next visit. I may have given a little more credit than deserved for this particular gas station but until they update it , the store really does suck, but like I said, it's my regular favorite gas station.... Hmmm, maybe since the workers are females , I don't know why it seems like they just don't like me for whatever reason ? which doesn't bother me at all. I never seen them smile, and when I speak, they are not friendly or speak back. They are probably not like that with others... I'm just sharing my personal experience..”

“Simon is AMAZING! Our car broke down right as we were beginning a cross country roadtrip, and Simon got us in right away and worked late to make the repairs and get us back on the road safely!! He is super personable, knowledgeable, and takes great pride in his work. We are forever grateful for you, Simon!”

“Always on point, but make sure you're prepared to wait a bit if it's a nice day cars do get backed up past the actual car wash lane. Prices are reasonable and the equipment is always working, never a delay. Thanks guys!”

“Currently under renovation and temporarily closed. Was surprised to hear of the renovations - didn't remember it looking like it needed anything back when I was last there in the recent past. Good gas prices and convenient to Safeway and In N Out. I like to go to Safeway or Whole Foods usually and the other Safeway in the south shore shopping center seems to be a hassle as Park St moves at a snails pace with multiple red lights. I like a gas station that is clean and where there aren't constant crowds. I usually can get in quickly with little wait. I remember the pumps ran quickly and receipts printed. I'm usually not the kind of guy to get gas at a grocery store but the convenience thing and lack of popularity keeps me returning.”

“Super convenient location. Lowest price on and off island ! Giving other stations run for ur money ? limited offerings inside but there’s a huge corner store across the street”

“DO NOT ENTER YOUR CODE BEFORE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU WENT INSIDE THE CAR WASH Great touch-less car wash, they have loyalty program when you are paying for car wash inside the store, they will give you a card and after paying for 5 car washes they will give you 6th one for free. The problem is second time in two months people standing in front of me tried to scam people behind - they don’t pay for their car wash, and wait if someone behind them will enter the code, so they will go and wash their car for free, leaving person behind them out of their money spent on the car wash. When it happened the first time - I went to the gas station attendant and seems like it happens quite often, so be careful and don’t get scammed”

“This Shell gas station had everything I expected from a gas station, working gas pumps and affordable oil changes. Sam has been changing my oil and fixing my brakes for years and he is honest as they get. You always hear those horror stories of mechanics charging ridiculous prices for made up issues and I can honestly say that Sam has always been completely transparent with me. He has always told me up front how much it would cost and never added on any unexpected costs. If you're looking for someone honest and very knowledgeable, I highly recommend Sam.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
