- JRJessi Rose1 day ago1.0Why would I pay a dollar more for 10% ethanol? Yall should have to advertise that before we waste time getting off the highway
- VCVikas Choudhary2 days ago1.0Waiting for shower All shower is empty But No body clean inside shower room Useless Satff
- BJBahadir JepbarovJan 26, 20261.0This is the worst, most disgusting shower facility I've ever seen in my life. The staff doesn't do their job on time. I waited 2 hours for a shower. It's a terrible place. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
- JJJesusNameAboveAllNamesJan 18, 20263.0Only 3 regular toilets available to men unless you buy a shower room? Insufficient for the amount of traffic the location gets.
- EEErnest EadesJan 8, 20262.0I have been here at least 6 times and they don't have hot dogs. Every time they have a different excuse. Not enough people on staff, cleaning hot dog roller, changing shifts, just can't get to it right now and finally to many people in store. Every other store doesn't have this problem.
