The cold springs market has always been a favorite stop before going into the wilderness but…read morerecently there are always rude young cashiers who seem bothered by customers, raised prices, and angry locals either migrating from Mia's or the Pinecrest resort to stare you down and act entitled. I'll make sure I don't to stop here again because I'd rather not have it ruin a good day. You're better off saving your money and planning a trip to avoid this store.

I've been stopping at this gas station for over 30 years, and I've seen many changes during this…read moretime. I was super excited to see that they offer hot food so it was a huge disappointment to order a cheeseburger and later realize that they undercooked it without letting me know in advance or giving me an option for them to cook it longer. Not everyone likes pink or in my case extremely pink barely cooked hamburger. I could have handled a little pink (even if I don't prefer it), but my burger ended up getting thrown away after 2 bites because I was grossed out how undercooked it was, and I didn't have a way to finish cooking it myself. I understand that it takes a while to cook everyone's food and I was more than willing to wait so I don't understand why the staff felt the need to rush and feed undercooked meat to customers. I definitely won't order a burger from there again because I don't feel that the customer should have to tell a business what proper cooked hamburger meat is, and they also have no warnings anywhere that their meat is undercooked. If they even read these reviews, according to Google, "consuming undercooked ground beef can harbor bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter, which can cause foodborne illnesses (food poisoning)." Hopefully whoever has their food handling license and is cooking the food understands the risks they are putting their customers through.

It is a helpful place to grab things if you are passing through the area. Unfortunately, the service experience left a bad impression. I overheard the owners talking negatively about customers after they thought they had left, just because those customers asked a simple question and were not locals. That felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. Overall, the store has what you need, but the customer service and attitude could definitely be more friendly and respectful toward everyone.
