    Stopped in for a quick snack and gas. Great service and very friendly staff. Amazingly enough, even a clean bathroom!

    Pretty much a standard gas station. They have all the usuals in terms of gas selection, pay at the pump, and snacks to get.

    Why is it soooo expensive the fuel over here? I am still giving 4 stars because the gas station is super nice and neat.

I couldn't find a basket so I just put things in my arms and I came up to the counter and set them down.... The young man was annoyed (there was no one else in line.) i asked him where i could find another item. .. he said " that's by the popcorn machine?" Anyway I went to look still couldn't find it came back and said please show me where it is. He had an awful attitude and made me feel like shit. I would have bought more items but at this time I wanted out of the store!!! In a business you must be kind to people.. this kid needed to go back to playing his video games at mommy's house! He clearly resented working there. Bad Juju. Bad business.

I had one experience with a very rude cashier where she angrily scanned my items and just stood there. Didn't greet me, didn't acknowledge me, and didn't even tell me how much my total was. I was ready to walk out the door and she finally told me what my total was. As far as my past experiences they have been good to great. Very friendly helpful staff. They have everything you'd want in a country convenience store. Beer, food, camping and fishing supplies, hardware, and gas. Give them a visit. Just hope you don't happen across that one cashier.

    The gas and bathroom were good. I think the Shell less than a mile down the road might have cheaper…read moregas. This place didn't have lottery tickets. When we asked them, they pointed us to the casino next door. The Shell down the road sells lottery. I'm not entirely sure why we stopped here because we went to the Shell last time but oh well. My friend said the bathroom didn't smell bad but I thought it smelt slightly foul. There was soap and warm water and paper towels. The selection of items and food seemed to be rather good. They had batteries and lighters which impressed me. The microwave was also impressive to see in such a random mart. We got Reese's pieces and melon rings for $5.98 which doesn't seem too bad. There were a few things out of order on the hot drinks machine but I wasn't in the mood for any hot drinks so it didn't matter to me. The cashier wasn't enthusiastic or especially nice in any way. She seemed like she was just there to do the bare minimum.

First off, nothing else is cheaper. Even more so if you keep your plastic and go green. As in cash. Maybe it's because I always stop here on my way back to LA and it's downhill to a certain degree...or...there is some serious tribal mojo in this blend. I can't prove it. It's just that the mileage I get is otherworldly. I get back in town and have, like, a half a tank left. Now, I asked the attendant who distributes the gas thinking maybe it's processing involved some sort of Shamanic ceremony. He said he didn't remember. Right. That's the go to answer to shake me off the trail. But I know better than that. I'm certain it has mystical origins. Believe what you want. Wink, wink.

    It seems like the more recent reviews on yelp for this particular establishment represent negative…read moreexperiences by patrons, most of whom went into use the bathroom and didn't bother to buy anything. When you gotta go, you gotta go I guess... But in fairness to the owners and employees, this is a gas station/convenience store... Not a public restroom facility. In sleepy little Independence, I have to imagine this place relies on mostly weary travelers stopping in for gasoline, a couple of sodas, a bag of snacks to make a living. Whether there is a sign or not, it's kind of courteous to scrape under the seats for a little bit of change, and buy a pack of gum or a Coke or something. Wish the proprietor a very nice rest of the day, kind of thing. As far as the guy behind the counter being rude, I sure cannot condone that either. You may have heard the expression, "the customer is always right"?... Well that ain't true, but the customer is still and always the customer. As a business owner, if you smile and nod at that guy that just went in and use $.50 with the toilet paper and paper towels, and did not buy anything... This time... They're probably more likely to stop in here on the downhill trip and buy something. Act like a troll to a potential future customer? They will not ever be one. Just saying... Anyway, we stopped here on the way home from Lake Crowley, to top off the tank on a very busy southbound 395 post-July 4 weekend drive. We bought a couple of bottles of soda, and a pack of jerky. No more expensive than just about any other gas station I've been to. My kids used the heck out of the bathroom, too. The fellow behind the counter was not saccharine sweet or anything, but cordial. Funny thing about the small-town business folk: they respond awfully well to common courtesy with a dash of kindness. Come to think of it, most people do. I also appreciated the relatively large parking lot and plenty of room to turn around with a small trailer. Some of the gas stations in towns up and down the 395 don'tfeature as much space. So that's a plus.

    Very friendly and competent staff person greeted me after six hour drive to start backpacking trip…read more I like the jerky options and Mexican soda.
