It was my first time visiting this station. I regularly visit Arco to purchase items n gas. But this was my first-time experience a rude cashier at a Arco station. I arrive to pay for gas oh, I was counting the money out on the counter as I finished I looked up and the cashier was waiting for me to put it in her hand. I looked at her and she picked it up and said "you could have put this in my hand". I understand it's a difficult time to work as a cashier or any retail establishment but if you cannot do this job I suggest you find another industry. I was caught off-guard and responded well do you own this place or do you just talk to everybody like that. She replied yes I do and then proceeded to say it was a joke. Anyways I left to fill my tank turned around and notice she was staring right at me through the window this concern me, I don't know what she was up to, it was kind of creepy but I brushed it off I continue to fill up my tank and left. I definitely will be contacting corporate office for her strange and unusual customer service. I'm hoping that Ann will get restrained working up front, if not they should definitely let her stock the item in the back and not deal with customers.

I had a short, but unpleasant interaction with the older gentleman who rung me up the other day. He didn't greet me when I came up to the counter, just silently scanned my items. He gave me a rude answer when I asked if he was ready for me to insert my debit card, and then he made an insinuation that I might steal $10 worth of snacks, even though I patiently waited in line to pay for them... Usually gas stations clerks are friendly and polite! I guess I took it for granted.

  • Clint K

Always clean always friendly fast service especially from the guy that works graveyard. Unfortunately it's on a really busy dangerous stretch of road right before the freeway entrance where everyone needs to be. But that's not their fault. And neither is all the homeless riffraff that hang around that area. Remember just say no. But stop into AM/PM anyway...

  • Fher Oneeightytwo

No brewed coffee was available perhaps because it was 1Am. Also no fresh bakeries supposedly because of pandemic guidelines, but other AmPm stores hadlve them. On the positive side they had both restrooms available and clean. Other AM Pm stores don't allow customers in restroom due to covid guidelines excuse.

  • Corrinna Jordan

I come in here often and have for years. Usually very friendly. Note to Management: Today is the first time in months that I've walked in and the store didn't smell like sewer. I don't know what you did, but please keep it up. Sometimes I dread walking in only for this reason. Very unappetizing when hungry.

  • Zejaria Ozeri

The pump didn’t have paper for the receipts so I had to go with the clerk and ask for one the only problem is that the clerk was on break for half an hour and I had to wake all this time to get my receipt. Terrible customer service I was not the only one waiting.

  • Gyan Penrose-Kafka

It's a gas station, so there's not really a whole lot to say. It's fairly clean, and the AMPM store is larger than many, but of course you can pretty much only expect the usual junk food, beer, sugar filled beverages, and the like. Bathrooms are fairly clean.

  • Connor J

This is a very average gas station. I went inside and paid for some drinks and some gas. The person working was nice. Very clean and normal looking gas station. I felt safe here and welcomed and I think it was the cheapest gas I could see around here.

  • Kali Smith

The store was filthy and so was the coffee maker like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. And there were particles inside the coffee cup, and I wasn't sure if it was dirt or coffee grounds. And the customer service was beyond poor.

  • R J

What better place to wait for a left ride the employee were friendly plus I got to buy and scratch 5/$30 lottery tickets... Next time I'm in town you know where I'm stopping for lottery tickets...

  • Todd Feak

The inside consistently smells like they have a sewer leak. Not sure what's going on there. It's convenient for grabbing a snack and they staff is pleasant, but they gotta fix that smell.

  • Soul4Real (Real4Soul)

LOVE this Arco! Location puts them on my map for at least one stop sometimes as many as a few visits per week. I met my very good friend Lisa there in fact. Keep it up guy, thanks!

  • Tsvi Katchalski

This review is for the car wash. Run down, price chrged, the highest you will find. Brushes are thilthy, and macinery about to fall on you. If you have some other option - take.

  • James Willis

Nothing worse than a 24 hour location that closes. The rude witch who works the late night shift looks like she’s doing something nefarious for 45 minutes at a time in the back.

  • Abel Moreno-Arroyo

Why not fix your hours online instead of wasting people's time driving to stores that say open online. Just to have staff inside tell you they are close and wave you to go away.

  • 7thSon Productions

This place was not busy at all, a quick in and out. The gas was more expensive than my usual arco but fortunately I only needed a few gals. For the volt.

  • 2015 man

Fun hack: when using a debit card here, press credit. It won't charge the 35 cent fee!(or ask you for a pin) Only the true locals know this. Good times

  • Joe Connector Kennedy

Gas is always more expensive than location off Via De La Valle. The car wash beat the crap out of my car (use at your own risk).

  • B. C.

Just a gas station . Went thru the car wash . Had to wait. Obsolete equipment made for a slow and basically a rinse off.

  • Jesse Thomas

If you don't want a hassle, go somewhere else . Pump keeps saying see cashier although everything is good on my end.

  • Ryan -

All but one coffee enpty at 9am and surfaces filthy. Sewer odor in shop. Refused to punch coffee card and very rude

  • ViolinJohn

This is the only Arco station that I've seen that accepts credit cards!! I hate paying the 35¢ fee for debit card.

  • ILUSM Corp

Illegally closed from atleast 1am to 330am Wed 2/1!! I could see attendant playing on phone behind counter!

  • The Game Circuit

Always super crowded and they don't take credit cards . Its 2023 and you don't take credit cards! Smh …

  • Daniel Farmer

This store refuses to accept the ampm scratchers game. I will never return to this location again.

  • joel brace

So tired of lazy employees shutting down every restroom so they don't have to follow protocols.

  • Alyssa K

Clean, the prices are comparable to other gas stations in the area, easy access to the freeway.

  • Jonathan Dionne

The entrance is last minutes as you turn the corner. Otherwise, it's a gas station.

  • Donna Reed

Didn't know how high the prices were till I pulled in. Needed fuel badly

  • Justo Santeliz

Closed after 2am in the morning!! This is normally 24 hour location

  • G. C.

seems like the car wash is out 25% of the time I drive in to use it

  • Ms. Michelle Meier

Very clean gas station. Also has a car wash! Close to freeway!

  • Cole Avery

Air pump is garbage and bathrooms are closed at night.

  • Mercedes Vargas

They need to put a sign saying do not except EBT

  • rich 4614

Busy, but there is a fast food joint near by.

  • Tiziana Moser

Cheap gas, always clean and not too busy

  • Juan Pablo Garcia Ross

There wasn't regular diesel for my car.

  • Henry Yeh
