Fast N Friendly is a convenience store and gas station located in a challenging neighborhood. The place is usually full of crack heads and beggars, and the area can feel unsafe, described as worse than county lock up. Customers note it is hard just to survive in that place, with some feeling it is safer to drive without brakes than to stop there at night. The store itself is older and often not clean, sometimes smelling like old oil. The restrooms are frequently unavailable, with a suspicion that homeless individuals have ruined them, sometimes leaving uncapped syringes. Despite this, many reviewers give the business five stars because of its employees. The clerks are described as local, family friendly, quick, efficient, and accurate. They are acknowledged for putting their lives on the line so customers can have the convenience of getting a slurpy at 2am, with strong calls for them to get a raise. One woman clerk was noted as being nice and helpful. The store offers good hot food to go in the cabinet, considered good for gas station food, along with anything else you want from a convenience store. However, other clerks are sometimes seen as not fast and not friendly, appearing either high on drugs or tired and overworked, with service that can seem uneducated and lackluster. Customers are encouraged to seek more police presence from city council rather than complain about the store's staff.
Usually this place is full of crack heads and beggars, however I always love coming in here and seeing my local family friendly cashier's... especially Rodger hes awesome always takin care of everyone quick efficient and accurately. Always good food in the cabinet too yum yum for gas station food it's the bomb!!

I stop in here often for gas because it's close to home they are always friendly. It's an older store but they have hot food to go and anything else you want from a convenience store ?

Always smells like old oil in this store. Cashier was more focused on how a fan was on than the customers. Uneducated and lack luster service employees.
