“I’m originally from Texas, but I’ve been staying at my family’s place in Hammonds Plains for a while. I’ve been going to the Esso here the past few days, and there’s a guy working the afternoon shift who has the best customer service. He always has a smile on his face and is very decent and respectful. I also noticed he was working on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, which is really motivating. He truly sets a great example, and I genuinely hope he gets what he deserves.”

“I popped into the convenience store one day on my way by and the pizza smell made me want a 2nd supper. Finally made my way back over. Ordered a pizza sub, a steak sub, and a pizza, and all were amazing! I’ve never even eaten a 12” sub in one sitting before but I ate it in 10 mins or less. Soo good and will be back soon!”
