However, they often have better prices than the other gas stations around and closer to home - even of the same brand, so we stop in here when we need to fill up.

As much as I'm a sucker for Esso (read "Aeroplan Points") and like places where I can buy gas on a Hudson's Bay Company card, this place pretty much has everything that you'd want from a gas station. I can't believe that I'd rate this place a '5' and make it my favourite gas station, but by process of elimination, there has to be a "best gas station". I suppose this one's it. It's conveniently placed close to the Queensway, has more than enough space to manoeuvre around the pumps, and has SmartPumps so that you can pay at the pump and not have to venture inside. If you do, you're treated with a decent array of convenience store goodies, as well as a fully functional Tim Horton's. The clincher at this location is the ability to get Drive-Thru Tim Horton's, as well as a car wash. Dirty cars and double-double cravings can now queue up in one of two lines. Yeah, it's a pain to buy gas, so you may as well find a place that makes it a wee bit more bearable.

I filled my car's gas tank up once while I was in Ottawa. After stuffing myself with grub for lunch…read moreat a nearby restaurant last Friday, I saw this Petro-Canada and stopped by. It had steady business. I had no problem finding a free pump. I tried paying at the pump, but the authorization was declined. I tried it again and it did the same thing. It was odd. The reason why this review gets a high rating is my seeking help from the man at the convenience store attached to this gas station. I couldn't tell if it was an issue with my credit card or the pump. I asked if he could pre-approve an amount for me. We went through the process of approving $70 worth of gas on my credit card. This transaction was also denied. It proved to me that there was something weird happening with my credit card. I thanked him for his efforts troubleshooting with me. I sat in my car and called my credit card company. It is known to do fraud checks. It decided to initiate a check and put a hold on my card when I tried to pay for gas at the pump. I find my credit card company to be odd. I've been in Ottawa for a week and you now flag a gas pre-authorization on it? I got the hold taken off my credit card. I was then able to pay at the pump. I swiped my Petro-Points card to earn points, my 407 ETR card to get a discount for each litre of gas, and them my credit card to pay. It worked at long last. Woo hoo! I successfully filled my gas tank up. I was happy. It was way too much work after lunch, but I'm glad that I was still alert. It's a decent gas station. I'd return here again to fill up my car's gas tank and hope that my credit card is hold-free due to a perhaps random fraud check. (238)

Both times, I felt completely unsafe standing outside of the store trying to communicate with him through a plexi-glass window. After begging him to let me inside for my safety, he walked away and began sorting through merchandise, completely ignoring me. Why is the store even open at night, if a woman can't buy milk for her coffee in the morning? Absolutely not okay.

However, according to the server, they only sell gas and cigarettes once they lock their doors. No use to me, since I don't smoke and rarely drive and I was there simply to pick up some milk for my coffee on my way home. I was disappointed of course... and the grinning, almost gleeful "server" behind the window felt more than a tad offensive. Oh well, black coffee it is, then. Next time I need to pick up anything of that nature after hours, I'll be swinging by the Esso on Gladstone and Bank. I've _never_ encountered such a ridiculous policy in the fifteen years since I first encountered these security windows and it crossed my mind as I headed away that the guy was simply being a lazy cuss. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, but it surely wouldn't have killed him to have grabbed a bag of milk out of the fridge and taken my money this once, letting me know of this strange new policy for future reference. I've worked with the public in similar capacity before and know the value of keeping the customer satisfied. This guy obviously doesn't care about representing his employer and the previous good will his coworkers have fostered with me has taken a pretty nasty knock as a result. Lift your game Petro Canada. It is insulting to think that a supposedly Canadian company can fall short of the standards set by multinationals on its own soil.

Plagiarized raps out of the way, here's my review... We heard that CP general store had amazing sticky buns and were further intrigued when rumours circulated that they had the recipe from the OG Packenham General store. We made two attempts to drive the CP to get them but the staff who was there said that they didn't have them at the time we went. I called on a Saturday morning and asked if they could put some aside.... Not only did she put some aside, she was kind enough to remember us and put a bow and ribbon on this really nice gift box for my son. We got a few other things as well, they had cheese sticks, a couple of seltzer type drinks and the butter tarts. Lemme first talk about the butter tarts - they are unlike any other butter tart and I don't think I can get them from anywhere else now - they were so delicious and although sweet, the pack of 6 disappeared over two days. Now for the sticky buns: holy shit so good, you gotta get them! That's all I gotta say - just gooey and delectable! The staff - five star! The entrance is a shared entrance with a gift and antique store so overall a really nice experience. The Carleton Place General Store gets 5 stars from me.
