I detest most gas stations that aren't a Wawa and no I didn't grow up in Jersey. With that being said, this is consistently among the worst gas stations I've ever been to. Every time, 1-3 pumps are taped off because they're broken. The credit card readers almost always take multiple attempts or don't work at all. Some of the pumps are outrageously slow. The little locking mechanism that allows the gas to pump itself is broken on almost every single pump and has been for years. And on numerous occasions, it'll say my tank is full but it's not. Today, it claimed it was full but it was only at 3/4. A couple other times it stopped at 50%. I've never gone inside admittedly. Quite frankly, I'm too afraid to go inside. It's not a rough part of town by any means anymore. It's just really bad management/ownership. Edit: I have increased the star rating from 1 star to 3 stars because the owner had the courtesy to call me after I filed a formal complaint via Marathon's website. I really hope that I can increase this rating in another couple of months after they make some much-needed upgrades that are allegedly in the works. Shout-out to Marathon corporate for passing along the memo to the local ownership.
Terrible Experience at this Gas Station: Overflowing Pump and Rude Attendant I recently had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience here, and I feel compelled to share my ordeal to warn others about the abysmal service and lack of professionalism I encountered. My visit to this gas station turned out to be nothing short of a nightmare, and I strongly advise you to steer clear of this establishment. As I was refueling my vehicle, the gas pump failed to auto-stop, resulting in an overflow that made an absolute mess. I still smell like gasoline after a 30 min shower. The fact that the equipment malfunctioned is concerning enough, but what aggravated the situation was the complete absence of any preventative measures or assistance from the attendant. Rather than acknowledging the issue and taking action to rectify the situation, they displayed an astounding level of rudeness and disinterest. When I approached them for help, they pointed to the general area of paper towels and said i should pay attention…… But maybe they should put an out of order sign on faulty pumps instead of blaming the customer.
BEWARE!!! I went to this store around 12pm today for gas. I swiped my debit card at the pump and made pin purchase for $20.77. At 12am I get an alert that there was a Point of sale attempt for $80. Lukily, I have a security feature on my card that allows me to turn off transactions. Minutes after getting the alert I did phone the manager to let him know, he seemed shocked that he got the call and immediately went on the defense saying no one has ran any card information since his shift started at 9pm. He just kept repeating this over and over. He didn't ask any information or try to figure out anything. I will now cancel my card and plan to report them. Beware!
Travelers beware! This is just another place that over charges for everything. $2-5 price increase in just about everything compared to the surrounding area and they absolutely refuse travelers or manufactures coupons. The dude at the checkout even argued about a posted sale price and refused to ring us up until he verified. No one was there to cover him, so he just stood there. Save yourself the frustration and money and just drive down the road, the next closest station is less than a mile away.
BEWARE OF THIS GAS STATION!!! Never ever spend money here! I live next door and have stopped here for gas and snacks and for a second time have gotten a fraud alert for $80. The first time I thought it was an accident and got a new card just Incase but this is now the second time it has happened to me. The employees here are rude and service is TERRIBLE! Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT STOP HERE
Friend bought a vehicle nearby and didn't realize fuel level was LOW. (E) Stopped by this station to see if they had a gas can to use. They dont have one to borrow but sell them. Avle to get the car there and fill up a avoiding a tow. Friendly clerk and clean. And unlike other cities in downtown
pumps are horribly show and do not appear to always work properly so I am unsure of the consistency of the product and had an issue with the meter on my last visit due to being so poorly maintained and could not read the actual gallons pumped.
SCAMMER!!!!! Take your business elsewhere placing a call and report to the BBB as my card was fraudulently charged 100.00 dollars at the pump after getting gas. Looking at the reviews this location seems to have this happen often.
"Be back in 2 minutes" the guy was stocking. I waited 15-20 minutes and he never even came to let me and another customer in. Avoid this location. Citgo down the street is where I ended up going instead.
You cannot pay at the pumps. Half of them are broken. And the store itself is incredibly sketchy. Everything is filthy and most things are broken. Only stop if you can't anyplace else.
No lotto, poor customer service, and a $50 minimum when I went to pump gas. Worst gas station in Tampa. The only reason they’re in business is because of their location.
It's a gas station, what else can you say? They should keep the paper filled for the gas receipts. It's always empty and you have to walk inside to get your receipt.
Card readers never work and gas pumps really slowly, only come here if you are about to go on empty.
Good people. Great service. Eat here! They have a great kitchen called Zelda’s Cafe. It’s the bomb.
The cashier man with the long hair is the kindest, most helpful person! Thank you very much!
Cheap owner, all the nozzles are old as hell, rusty, and don’t have the auto pump feature.
Restaurant in the back was GREAT!!!! Gas was reasonable. Location was convenient …
Great location in town, staff is very polite and helpful. Restrooms are super clean.
No chips work Complete joke They need to shut this piece of junk down
It's an ok Location I would just becareful going here after dark
