“Can’t believe a guy is on here complaining about how slow the speed of a pump is. Is this really where we are now? Life moves to fast to worry about that kid. When you’re older you’ll be wishing you had a slow pump to sit at.Anyways to the review: Gone are the days of the friendly gas station with the hose and bell ringing as you pull up and the slow pump you can hear ticking away. It’s been replaced by obnoxious LCD screens with loud high fructose corn syrup ads for Coca Cola and candy that play over like a broken record. It’s so bad if you stand too long you might think you’re being hypnotized and bullied until you submit and go inside to the Home Depot size convenience store attached to the gas station.Well, I find my escape almost everyday. By making sure my money is spent where I fell like family. Ok Petroleum is literally the best place to fill up in the Tri State. First off it’s full serve so there’s always someone to pump your gas. The min prices on gas are always below market, plus they accept all the newest payment methods, including Bitcoin. , The pumps are the newest technology, and yes they’re fast. Once you’ve finished getting gas you can go inside and stock up on all the latest candies, sodas, energy drinks. Oh did I mention they carry Prime energy drinks? On top of the convenience of all of this one of the biggest reasons I return? They treat everyone like family. The owner knows everyone’s name, and many other family members work there so you can always count on a familiar face to ask how your day was. That’s something special.So go see the crew down at OK. I promise you will return. And I promise by the time you pull away from that pump, you will have faith in humanity again.”

“Very nice Turkish guy in here. They're really nice here and actually help you a lot with figuring out what you need. They filled my tires for free when they were low on my motorcycle too which was nice. They have Lucky Strike unfiltered soft pack cigarettes that are very hard to find too which is awesome.”

"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.
