“The Citgo gas/convince stop. Was very well organized when I went in. I've only had the pleasure of going in a couple of times since I've been working at this job. The two different people that assisted me, were very kind. They helped me out with a couple of gas receipts that I wasn't able to receive at the pump. They seemed to have a well stocked on the shelves. From what I saw while walking in. It was also, very clean.”

“I had a low tire. An exceptional young man working at this station named Tyler I believe, not only helped me with getting air into the one low tire, but checked all the other tires too before I took off. There are not too many places or employees with this level of customer service. Thank you, Shell and Tyler, for changing the narrative.”

“Nothing wrong with the store or staff, looked for a 24 hour for some late night snacks, get there at 1145pm, grabbed our handful of snacks and get to the counter only to see a sign stating register will open at 1201 shift change. Ok...by this time I look at my watch, 1148, wait, over 20 minutes at least it's closed (customer in front of us was at the register when we walked in and she said she had been waiting a few minutes already) should advise that a little better 🤷♀”
