| - I have to wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewer. I just literally waited an hour sitting in a dirt field across the street waiting for the Shell to open rather than spend another CENT at this place.
What happened this morning?
I walked up to the Shell to pick up a pouch of Bugler tobacco - $3.21 after tax. I brought $3.50 with me. Well, apparently they're closed between 2-4AM for stocking of the store.
So I ventured across the street to the Chevron - NOT my first time there either.
I've been to this place on numerous occasions.
And EVERY time I've bought a scratcher ticket here, I've heard the same nonsense.
Clerk: You can only pay cash for scratchers. You cannot pay debit or credit.
Me: I have cash.
Clerk: You can only pay cash.
Me: I only have cash.
Clerk: You cannot pay with debit/credit. Only cash.
Me: I ONLY pay with cash. NEVER with a card. I HAVE CASH!!
Well...back to tonight's straw that broke the camel's back.
Me: What is the cheapest pouch of roll your own tobacco?
Clerk: I have Bugler for $4.00 and I have top.
Me: Which is the CHEAPEST you have?
Clerk: I have Bugler for $4.00
I don't HAVE 4 bucks on me, and just walked 20 mins to get there (early morning exercise is the BEST btw).
Me: How much for a single cigar.
Clerk: $1.65
Me: Do you have any multipack cigars for $3 or less?
Clerk: No, no, no.
Me: What are those packs of Swisher cigars that say "5 for 3"?
Clerk: They are $5.99!!
Me: But it says "5 for 3".
Clerk: It was the old owners price. I charge $5.99.
Me: But it says "5 for 3". You're charging 5 for $5.99. Maybe you should take that down. It's false advertising.
Clerk: I charge $5.99. That was the OLD price.
Me: That's DOUBLE what is advertised. That's like advertising $3 for a gallon of gas and when I come to pay, you charge me SIX!! Because that was the OLD price.
And, let me state:
This bastard (as ALWAYS) gave me attitude from the get go.
I told him that I work hard for my money, and I DON'T have to spend it there. That I could go across the street.
He tells me to go.
I them proceed to tell him that I am the CUSTOMER. I can take my money to any other gas station. What happens if he does that to everyone? You won't have a business. I told him that I proudly served my country for him to be able to move here to live. I told him that I didn't want to ASSUME he wasn't from America, but it was pretty obvious he wasn't (India).
He then try's to scan the cigars to show me what the ring up as.
I told him that I would never spend another CENT here, and would inform everyone I know to do the same. I told him that he could watch my money walk out the door and wait an hour across the street.
And I did.
I encourage YOU to sit in that dirt field too, my friend...
