“Amear is who this review is for? I’ve been coming there for years now and you guys all know who I am. I’m the mom of the little red haired boy that everybody just loves this young man that I met today he must be new is wonderful. He was so respectful and I was in a rush and he carded me. He did his job. I took it personal because I was in a rush and yet he still treated me with respect and explained to me. I’m sorry I don’t know you I have to card you and amongst all of that he still treated me professional and courteous. Also, when I first got there, I was in a rush to bring my 14 year-old some lunch and I told him that and basically demanded for him to hurry up and move real quick to appease to me and he didn’t complain and he didn’t throw attitude. Nothing he just hurried up to get that kind of respect from not just convenient store staff, but from a young man which is an assumption I’m not really sure how old he is but for me he’s younger as I’m pushing 50 and I have children that look to be his age is just not something that you find a lot I usually don’t even give reviews on convenience stores because they’re usually negative experience expired food, all kinds of crap usually this young man was so respectful to me and such a great employee that I had no choice.”
“These guys are awesome hands-down. It’s the only convenient. I’ll go to let’s face that all the prices are the same. You want to give your money to people that seem to respect you and appreciate your dollar and hands-down the two guys at night and the two ladies in the morning equally give a shit They’re like Family this year. I’m bringing them a little Christmas gift. Nothing big unfortunately I’m not rich but just something to be thoughtful if you guys see this review, God bless and thank you for always being so kind. Hopefully, nobody else will drive through your building lol they guess they wanted their drive-through drive up service Lol”
“It's a convenient store across from a dunkin donuts and giant. Sells beer on side. They are always friendly and attentive. Be a decent person and they will be decent to you back.”
