    Mountain Home Chevron, exit 90 off of I-84.
    Michelle P.

    I've been traveling from Boise to the Magic Valley a lot lately and stop at this particular Chevron every morning on my way there and every afternoon/evening on my way back. Clean bathrooms, a fun assortment of not-overpriced goods, and a front counter staff that greets you no matter who it is or what time of day. I don't like to just stop to use the restroom without buying something, so I like that they have some less expensive things to pick up when you don't really need something, but want to make a purchase in kind. They have 25-cent Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans, Cherryheads, Grapeheads, and Red Hots, Cow Tails caramel and cream candies for 59-cents, and giant packs of Smarties for 59-cents too. They also have Mexican packaged desserts - like Hostess things, but Mexican brands - and they are cheaper than Hostess, and delicious too. Similar to Hostess, they have chocolate cupcakes, and a pastry similar to Ding Dongs chocolate with a pineapple and cream filling; and about 10 other different items. I bought a soda in the morning one day, never drank it, and then wanted to drink it on the way home ... but it was warm. So, on my return visit I asked how much for a cup of ice - she said it was fine (free), so that was nice. There is also a Burger King in this Chevron that I have only stopped in once. I wanted a cheeseburger and I asked if it was too early, she said they were serving breakfast, but that they could make me a cheeseburger if I wanted it - and I did, and they did.

    This is a usual stop for me here in my travels along I-84. There is one more exit for Mountain Home, but stopping here is usually much quicker as everyone else is trying to save just a few cents a gallon on fuel. I try to avoid Fast Food, but the Burger King located inside serves up Fast and Fresh burgers. The couple of times I've had the craving for a Whopper, the people behind the counter are quick to serve and always with a smile.

    Not busy AT ALL..No customers only 2 employee vehicles.....

    Store doesn't carry my go to nicotine pouches. Rogue Wintergreen or Rogue Peppermint 6mg. I will just shop elsewhere.

    This is your quick stop to fuel up in different ways…read more ~ Car Fuel ~ Snack - Food ~ sleep recovery ~ Dog park What are great place to consider. Facilities, park, and parking lot are clean and inviting.

    Absolutely TERRIBLE customer service at Pilot in Mountain Home…read more I purchased $36 worth of gas, only to discover that my credit card had been charged/held for $226. The store had a sign posted warning about debit card holds, but my card is a credit card--not a debit card--so that explanation did not apply. When I went inside to ask about the charge, the employees immediately told me there was nothing they could do and that I would need to contact the manager. When I requested to speak with the manager, I was told the manager was out of town. Instead of getting help from someone knowledgeable, I was directed to a shift lead whose behavior was as shockingly unprofessional as was her appearance (you know the kind...too much makeup...not enough clothing...and a snarky sneer that could rival even the most immature wannabe sick dope who is desperately lacking any kind of authenticity). First, she blamed my bank. When I explained that it was a credit card, not a bank account or debit card, she then blamed the company and told me to call a toll-free number. When I again asked to speak with the store manager, she said the manager was unavailable because they were out of town. I pointed out that managers generally have phones and can be contacted when serious customer issues arise. She then handed me a piece of paper with two names and a phone number. I stood right there in the store and called the number she gave me--only to discover it was the store's own phone number, which immediately started ringing next to us. When I pointed out how unprofessional and ridiculous that was, she giggled-actually giggled- ran away to the back of the store, and said she couldn't give out personal numbers. So let me get this straight: Pilot can put a $226 hold on a customer's credit card for $36 worth of gas, nobody in the store can explain it, nobody can help fix it, nobody can connect you with a manager, and when they hand you the store's own phone number as a solution, they think it's funny. The entire interaction was dismissive, immature, and completely lacking in customer service. I'm not asking for any kind of treatment that is out of the ordinary when dealing with professionals. But apparently at Pilot in Mountain Home, Idaho, they like to be open on a holiday weekend just to taunt people passing through. Wow! Just WOW! If this is the level of training and customer service Pilot considers acceptable, management has far bigger problems than fuel sales. Customers deserve answers, accountability, and basic respect--not excuses, misinformation, and immature laughter. Holding over six times the amount of a customer's purchase on a credit card is concerning enough. Being met with incompetence, finger-pointing, and laughter when trying to resolve it is ridiculously unacceptable. I won't be back, and I certainly wouldn't recommend this location to anyone who expects competent customer service. Good luck out there!!!
