Express Stop Gas Station, Burke

The gas here is fairly cheap, but I think it's a terrible place to do business. The attendant is quite sketchy: A few weeks ago I gave him $40, and he set the pump to give me only $20 of gas, hoping I wouldn't notice and he could pocket the rest!!! I told him to either restart the pump or give me my money back, so at least he didn't get away with it.
He refuses to give people directions and pretends he can't speak English. The pumps seem to break down more than at other places.
That's just my rant. It ticks me off b/c people have had a hard enough time visiting the gas station these past months, and having him ripping people off and being a jerk just makes the experience all the more unpleasant.

you might be saving a whopping .50 for your fillup there.

Yeah, it's better to go down the street and pay 2 or 3 pennies more per gallon and get brand name gasoline than to go there and have an awful experience.
Also, people congregate there and occasionally have altercations--which the said attendant just ignores!

Save only .50 cents? I saved over $5 on my last fill up by buying there rather than at Old Keene Mill and Rolling Rd. They are a lot cheaper, anywhere from 6 cents a gallon to 20 cents a gallon. I happened to catch a 20 cent savings day for this fill up. Use a credit or debit card and it doesn't matter what the attendant does.
And $5 per fill up over the course of the year adds up.
