“This is a great corner store. They tried to help out during the shut down by offering things you couldn't find in the grocery stores. Flour, corn meal, milk, bread. The staff is always helpful and are also part of the community. It gives me a warm feeling inside when I go grab Takis, Hot Cheetos, and Gatorade for my heathens, that they will be safe and watched out for if they stop by.”

“I purchase gas here biweekly and once or twice I have gone inside to buy water and have met a very diverse group of employees who have been nothing but professional, friendly and helpful. That said, I don't enter yhe store with an attitude or act entitled. Never met anyone who acted racist and if I had I certainly would not make a racist or ageist statement about anyone. I have not had any issue with pump speed or receipt printing. I can't speak to the cash payment method because I use my contactless payment method on my mobile device. I generally don't need a printed receipt because I do not need them for business travel. Since I value my lungs I do not smoke but I am aware that some people do, and that their proof of age is required just as it is for alcohol. The law requires asking for this and companies comply for everyone. These laws are to protect consumers, not harrass them.”

“I had the best experience here yesterday morning! After filling my tank with really expensive gas on my way to Solano County Superior Court, I decided to run in and grab a coffee. It was a lot earlier than I usually get up and I was picking up a friend in Benicia on the way to the courthouse.The employee working was running TWO registers and had both lines moving smoothly when I went to check out. When I didn't put in my phone number for the buy seven, get one free deal, she nicely reminded me, but I told her I'm not a regular, just on my way to court to watch the animal cruelty case on the girl who tortured my late-sister's 3 cats. She wished me luck, expressed her support and angst at animal cruelty and sent me off with a smile.She was so efficient and awesome. It was really nice!”

“I like to use 7-Eleven gas with my app. I like the feeling of saving money. Paying thru the app also ensures there is no credit card scam at the pump. I also paid for my car wash and the car turned out quite well for a drive thru. The options in the store are great when you are traveling.”

“Always a very pleasant experience at this location, the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. I recently had an experience where I lost my wallet and decided to call every place I had visited that weekend, this Chevron included. I spoke to Gary who was very nice and helpful and told me that my wallet was found by their team and was locked in the safe. I accidentally dropped it right before getting a car wash and I guess someone in a red truck tried to make off with it but ended up accidentally dropping it while driving away. I went the next day to pick it up from the main Manager Mercedes who was very kind and quickly retrieved it for me after showing her proper proof of my identity. There was even a note on the wallet saying “Make sure Samantha picks it up” which I’m also grateful for because the original would-be thief might have sent someone else to try and claim it to be theirs. Mercedes asked me to look inside and make sure everything was there, which to knowledge, looked to be the case. Thanks again you guys!”

“Reviewing a gas station?!?! I know, odd. Gas stations are meant to be functional, not experiential . . . unless you mean the experiences of buying gas, using the restroom, stretching your legs, and buying slightly over-priced drinks and snacks. But this stop merits a review so as to counterbalance the incredibly low 1.7 average rating it currently has. I have never stopped here before and likely never would have stopped here if not for being in the middle of a long drive with a group that needed a restroom stop. This isn’t exactly located in a ‘destination’, unless you consider Benicia—or, specifically, this strip of it—a place worth visiting. It’s a gas station. It looks like one. So, why the positive review? Simple. Besides the bathrooms being in decent shape, we were treated to two of the most amazing cashiers I have ever interacted with at a gas station in a location like this! They were so courteous and friendly you would initially suspect they were members of some sort of 76 Benecian cult. But no. These were simply nice young women, working in an out of the way gas station, who were really trying to make sure their customers had a positive gas station experience. Imagine that! After stretching our legs, using the restroom, buying some water and snacks, we got back on our way (in two cars). Once we got to our destination, all of us commented on how great those two cashiers were. Thus, the review.”

“Thank you for not only having your tap to pay work but also have paper on the machine to give you a receipt! ?? It has a large convenience store and bathroom were fairly clean.”

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.
