The bathrooms were very clean and they had that freshly cleaned smell. The lady who helped me at Subway was very nice. She was friendly and very upbeat.

The new building and contents are far, far, better than the old. But, the attitude of some of the…read moreemployees is not good. A line at the pumps, since more than one not working, one with a cardboard sign you could not see until you drove up, one with no sign, so you get out, try to make it work, and give up. Told cashier, recommended they put a bag on the pump, he basically said, "so what?", my problem to have been in line for a pump that did not work, then another line for one that did. So bought enough to get to Mohave and filled up there. And men's room has thee urinals, one blocked off with a stack of milkcrates. No paper towels, changing the review from 4 to 3 stars. Now the Shell station in Mohave has an even worse men's room, as does the Shell station down 395 about 8 miles, so I'm lucky that men can pee standing up. But Subway is Subway, Jersey Mike's in Lone Pine is much better if you want a real Italian sandwich like they make on the East Coast.

Hopefully, you guys have some good coffee tomorrow morning and I'll even buy the cashier a cup of coffee.

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.

Nevertheless you can access wifi there - thank god because I had a 10 AM Zoom meeting and there is no service almost anywhere else in the valley (aside from the other ranger station 24ish miles away!). It's right next to a market/gas station with clean bathrooms (that have sinks!), and a little inn, so it's actually a great little pit stop. They have a billboard with park info, and the newsletter for Death Valley so this spot served my needs perfectly. Even the wifi signal was pretty good - I attended my meeting no problem from their large parking lot right in front of the place, and had 360 views of the stunning scenery. So glad this station was here!
