Gas Stations in Garyville, LA

“There are few food choices in this area. I've avoided Moni Carlo because the place hadn't been cleaned since it opened. If you can't do the basics of sweeping and mopping, I don't trust you with my food. Something changed here because when I stopped for gas and went in for a *bottled* beverage, someone had cleaned. Don't know what they did but the place was even brighter. The workers inside seemed happy to be there. Completely different atmosphere from what I'd experienced. To be fair, I didn't get any food, instead deciding wrongly to go to McDonald's, cause that's always safe. Not that one. Not anymore. In the past I'd hear employees yelling to each other with extremely foul language, having what seemed to be a very private conversation across the entire store! They didn't seem to care that customers were present, even children, being forced to listen to that filth. I've honestly done my best to avoid this place because I don't like giving my hard-earned money to people who don't respect others enough to keep their filthy mouths to themselves. This visit was extremely different from my experiences in the past. Covid seemed to destroy everyone's minds, but I'm talking long before that. I saw employee interactions that were normal, civil. They seemed to even be respectful to each other. Zero foul language was heard. I don't know if this was a fluke, but it felt very different in there. New management? New owner? Got religious? Don't know. But I'm willing to go there again to see.”

“I attended the Veterans Day parade and event at the VA nursing home in Reserve yesterday. Marathon was a big sponsor for the event. You guys did an excellent job. Great food and friendly Marathon staff. Thank you, your efforts are greatly appreciated.”
