Finally, finally, finally. What took developers to long to decide to put in a new gas station near…read morethe airport??? The previous choices were far away, horrendous, all run down, broken pumps, dirty or inop restrooms and filled with vagrants. This NEW Marverik has plenty of pumps and a great convenience store plus easy to refuel the rental car before dropping it back to the airport rental car center. Take Exit 222A Gibson Blvd E which is just before the airport heading south on I-25.

"And don't come back!"…read more Said the female clerk to my friends. We had been there earlier in the week and did not understand New Mexico's ID requirements. We each tried to buy a bottle of wine, but, oops, my ID was with my suitcase in my hotel room. Yes we were from another state visiting for a conference. My friend said she would buy my wine since she had her ID with her (btw we are both over 65). But the clerk explained that she had to ID all parties buying alcohol. Ok. Local rules we will follow if we know them. Now we have been schooled. Several days later we return with all of our IDs in hand. Checking out, the same employee said "and don't come back!" ??? Don't worry we won't. Is this Albuquerque hospitality?

Most folks are really fast on their turn-around with the exception of Dominos Pizza. I tried to be a little healthy by ordering the chicken. 40 minutes later, I got my chicken and it wasn't the type of chicken I ordered. Not wanting to waste anymore time, I took it and ate so I could go back to work. Just the same, other places are quick and correct. If I'm a rush, I would attend during the hours of 1145-1300.

There was a security guy standing inside of Circle K. I made my way out to my vehicle while my husband got a few thirstbusters. I sat and watched as one young man panhandled the area.

Very disappointing experience.

When I was a kid I'd go with my Gramma to the Walgreens, near her house in San Francisco. It was…read morealways an adventure with toys and aisles filled with candy, chips and other goodies. This Walgreens tears that fun memory to pieces. To begin with there are rough looking people all over the parking lot and wandering through the store; I'm fine with that, I've lived in cities most of my life and everyone needs to shop. But the store treats every customer like someone sketchy . I'd say that 90% of the items are behind glass, even innoucuous stuff like deodarant. It's a wonder the employees get any work done because they're always being interrupted with customers needing access to something. The check out on a Sunday was ridiculous, one (very slow) woman working the front. And, no surprise, she couldn't even be bothered to say hello until I asked her how her day was. She just stared at me while her POS refused to read my card, which seems to be a common problem at the Walgreens in this city. One thing they DO still have are great deals if you use the loyalty card. So I bought two 12 packs of Coke and two 8 pack of LaCroix two for one. But this meant I needed a cart. The problem with that is that you can't take the cart out of the store. So after taking 30 seconds blocking the door trying to get out (and making a drunk woman mumble curses at me) the super friendly security guard offered to help me to my car.So the security guard gets one of the stars. , And there were two teen age sisters buying tons of candy in front of me. They'd obviously been given money to spend on whatever they wanted and they were having a great time, which reminded me of those fun days with my gramma as a kid. So they get the other star. Otherwise I'm steering clear of this dreadful location.

Pump was out of order as well as it was displaying some funky display on the screen and did not have a sign on it. Proceeded to the next pump and hooray, that one was working; however, it was pumping gas as slow as molasses! I kid you not, it took about 15 min to fill up 3/4 of a tank! Outside area was dirty as well and found just one squeegee to clean the windows with. In addition to this, the gas hose/pump leaked fuel onto my hands and shoes. Also located in a sketchy area, and their fuel prices weren't all that cheap.

I was strolling around and low and behold... what do you think the NM Donut Kween found!!! You guessed it! Doughnutty socks!!!! Sad thing is they were children sizes but I thought what the heck I'm going to buy them anyway!! I asked the cashier if she had anything else related to Donuts in her shop. She said I don't think so. While i was a little bummed it didnt matter because I was extremely happy with a pair of socks I found! While I was browsing she actually told me she found another pair! Now as you can only imagine I was so so super excited I went a little bit doughnutty!!! Kinda like coco for cocoa puffs! Hahaha!!! I was so super excited I couldn't contain my joy! I proceeded to tell her how I was the Donut Kween on Yelp and that I love everything to do with donuts!!! It was so awesome because she shared a personal story with me about her father-in-law and his donut cologne that he bought way back in the day from Dunkin Donuts apparently they did some sort of advertisement probably 30 years ago! I absolutely love when you go into a local shop and the employees and or owners take an extra step to share a part of their lives with you!!! #nmtrue If you have a chance to drop by the Mercado in the Hyatt I'm sure you'll find amazing local gifts for Christmas or for that special someone!! They have everything from art pieces to yummy snacks as well as tshirts and jewelry!!! You will love that you stopped by!!!!
