Two Saturdays ago, the GTA got hit with a rainstorm. The wind gusts and rain came down in a quick…read moreten minutes or so. Afterwards, as I drove westbound across York region, there were many traffic lights out and tree branches scattered across several roads. I was travelling along highway 7. I looked at my fuel indicator. It was getting low. I was near Weston Road and remembered this Husky that I would eventually reach. I decided to fill up here. This gas fill-up was my last time using the Husky app. The company has decided to terminate the app by the end of May. I feel that it's a grave mistake. I love rolling into any Husky gas station to pull up the app, select the pump number, indicate the credit card for payment and how much my purchase limit is, and pump away. It makes fumbling for the Husky rewards card and credit card a thing of the past. During a pandemic, you avoid contact with the payment part of the gas pump. Sadly, we are going back to whipping out cards to pay at the pump. I can't wait to go back to this fun way of paying at the gas pump when it's snowy, cold, and windy. As I was filling up my car with gas, a male staffer was changing the garbage bags. He was near my car and we both said hi. He was friendly and personable. Most staff member keep to themselves. I could tell that this guy truly enjoyed his job and liked people. This gas station was clean. It was stocked with paper towel and windshield fluid. Everything worked nicely. With the app's retirement, I didn't know where my original plastic card was. I went inside the store to get another card to link it up to my account. Sadly, you need a physical card to collect points from June 2022 onwards. The convenience store is small. There was one customer in there. I stood closer to the door as I waited in line. This store has an excellent assortment of snacks despite its size. The pepperoni stick varieties were impressive. The cold beverages fridge was small, but it did have a nice selection of pop, iced coffee, and Gatorade. Once the customer was done paying for gas, I approached the staffer and asked to get a replacement card. He was great getting me a new one and gave me a small information sheet with FAQs about the app during this transition. I thanked him, and left armed with a new rewards card and information. This gas station is located on the northwest corner of highway 7 and Kipling Avenue. If you are exiting onto Kipling, you are heading southbound only, as it's a one-way street. I was continuing my drive westbound, so I exited onto highway 7. I had a positive experience here. It's likely one of my favourite gas stations in the GTA. I hope that Husky reconsiders having an app. It was great. Now, I need to reinstall it off my phone. The only good thing is that I reclaim maybe 3 MB of storage space. (187)

I grew up with a Hasty Market a couple of blocks away from where I lived in the Beaches. This Hasty…read moreMarket is next door to Wok of Asia, an eatery that I frequent often to get chilli chicken with rice. The last two times that I have dropped by Wok of Asia, I got a prime parking spot in front of the eatery, a few steps away from Hasty Market. After I had dinner at the former last night, I made a trip over to the latter to check it out. There's a lot going on at this convenience store. You can get Bitcoin through a kiosk. It's also a vape store. If you need your passport photo taken, this place handles it. Need a document printed, scanned, or even faxed? This store offers these services. Heck, I learned that I can get a key cut here. Crazy! I walked in. It felt like a convenience store. There were cases and bottles of pop, with candy behind the drinks. I liked that this store had Pepsi cream soda in both regular and zero sugar varieties. There was also a deal getting two bottles, so I took advantage of it. The beverage section is amazing. It was my first time seeing Fuze zero sugar. I felt like I had seen a unicorn. There's a fridge strictly for bags of ice. The dairy section is decent if you need eggs, milk, and butter. I saw caps on the wall representing your favourite soccer team. I also saw jewellery next to a bunch of scratch lottery tickets. I don't know whether it'll tarnish as you wear it. I waited a bit before a nice woman greeted me. I saw an Aero bar going for $1. I got one. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and all was great. She put my goodies in a plastic bag, which was nice. I thanked her and left. I have consumed the Aero bar. It was yummy. It was a good $1 purchase. I have tried one of the bottles of Pepsi cream soda that has zero sugar. It's good. The cream soda is subtle, but I dig it. I'm so glad that I dropped by. It's a cool store and a hidden gem. (92)

This gas station is on the north side of Highway 7. I was heading eastbound, so turning right was easy. It's located just east of Highway 27. There were a couple of customers already at this gas station when I arrived. I pulled next to an available gas pump. I had to wait for an SUV to move out of the way. He was signalling a man who was standing outside the convenience store to move. Real estate and lanes are an issue. It's an older gas station. It's fairly narrow to leave this gas station, as you are squeezing past vehicles fuelling at the gas pumps facing west. I entered my phone number associated with my Journie rewards using the keypad. I then tapped my credit card to pay. Once my payment method was approved, I selected the fuel type and fuelled away. It's a clean gas station. It has a convenience store. I didn't need anything, so I fuelled and left. Although the sign said that gas was 140.3, it actually dropped a cent while I was there and I got the discount. Yay! The gas price at this gas station is cheaper than most in the area. It's awesome! I liked stopping by to take advantage of the discount. It's narrow to get in and out of this gas station. I drive a smaller car, so I was good. If you drive a larger vehicle, it will be more challenging for you to enter and exit this station. (458)

The owners have been there for years so they have a good understanding of the community. During playoffs, World Cup, holidays etc they always have appropriate displays for merchandise to celebrate the occasion.
