“Very nice employees. Nice little store. Prices seemed to be average with other places. Gas was a little higher than other places but expected since it really is in middle no where. Had a strawberry shortcake it was delicious!”
“was trying to fill my car up and the pump malfunctioned while I was trying to use it, there was only one cashier, and I was not able to catch her name, but she was so kind enough to come out and help me fix the pump, knowing other people would be waiting and still helped me with a smile.”
“I've read some of the reviews and personally, I've had a good experience in the 4 years I've lived near this gas station. Everyone's been polite but I don't expect hand holding and door greeting. Most of the complaints are just plain petty. This is a gas station, folks, not a 5 star resort. You want someone to coddle you, call your mom. Technology isn't fool-proof- card readers break. Stores run out of things- deliveries aren't always on time. The people who work here have enough to do without being expected to clean up after you in the bathroom or otherwise, so act like an adult and don't contribute to creating the nastiness you're so quick to gripe about.”
“I do not leave reviews for very many places but I have been wanting to leave one for this CVS, my CVS, for a while now. These ladies that work at this location are beyond wonderful in so many ways. I have been going to this location for about 3 years now and I will not have my medicines filled any where else. I won’t go into a lot of details but I will tell you that these ladies have been so good to me and have worked with me even though I do not have insurance. They have always found a way to help me afford my medication during times when I wasn’t as blessed as I am now. They have never judged me, nor have they ever not make me feel welcome even though I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out how to make what money I didn’t have pay for the medicines I had to have. I know that people get frustrated more than ever these days. I have seen it with my own eyes people picking up prescriptions and losing their minds over things that are not the ladies fault. Whatever the issue, it doesn’t matter because they don’t deserve to be screamed at, or berated because your doctor didn’t call your meds in, or insurance won’t pay for it. Or, you can’t refill your medication that requires an ID 5 days early. We come to the counter, or thru the drive thru and only spend a few minutes out of our day so we don’t see all the hard work, dedication, and how much they do care. We don’t get to see all the work behind the scenes of the staff going above and beyond for people that they don’t know, but they do it all the time. I know this because they do that for me and I am an uninsured nobody. We forget sometimes that not only are they overwhelmed, they also deal with more red tape in one day than most of us deal with in a lifetime. They deal with people, doctors offices, insurance companies, drive thru, and top that off with rude people who don’t have anything else better to do than blame them for things out of their control. I think the world of these ladies and I just wanted to let them know that they do make a difference, and they all touch lives, and I thank you ladies:)”
“This place has very friendly staff. I come here a lot. They close at 1,so that is also really nice if you want a late night treat. They have very good ice cream and slushys! Also gas prices are normally pretty good here!”
“Both employees did a great job on quickly and efficiently ringing and my friends out, a taller ginger and one in a purple shirt with split dye hair. Extremely nice and patient even when they had only half of the flavors available and both machines down. Hope they get a raise for their stellar customer service! ?”
