I've lived in Pleasanton since 1992, so I've been coming here since I was 14 years old. Today, I had a situation where I pumped about $51 into my truck. I had $50 on one card and just a small amount on my debit, leaving me short by literally one dollar. I gave the lady all the spare change I had in my pocket, but I was still just a bit short. When I asked if she could spot me the difference, she reacted with a loud "OMG" like it was the end of the world. Heaven forbid you help out a long-standing, local customer over a dollar. Most of the staff here have been grumpy and unprofessional over the years, with the exception of the brother-in-law. I wasn't even planning on Yelping them, but that lady was just downright rude. I've heard plenty of other long-time Pleasanton residents say the same thing about her lack of professionalism, and today I experienced it firsthand. Not a good look for a place that's been around for 35 years.

The annual Pleasanton soccer parade kicks off here the weekend before Labor Day.

The woman working the counter--late 20s with an aggressive amount of makeup--has a horrific attitude and treats customers like garbage. She doesn't even know me, yet she had the nerve to argue with me and tell me I "don't have friends" after I mentioned I've lived in this community for over 30 years--likely longer than she's been alive. Her "famous" words were "I don't care" and "I know" to every complaint about her behavior. It's pretty pathetic when an employee is in full agreement with being called out for having a nasty attitude. Even a group of 15-year-old boys who came in while I was there showed more maturity and respect than she did. It's a sad state of affairs when a group of teenagers has better social skills than a grown adult with a supposedly developed brain. I can see exactly why this garbage place has the low rating that it does. Save your money and go somewhere where the staff actually knows how to act in public.

So I found this spot that was relatively on the way home and it was good time for me to also check out the 99 cent store for some cheap Christmas goods. They have two prices for cash vs. credit which I've seen as this shows the convenience fee tacked on the price for credit. They had a good amount of pumps. I pulled up to one and it was not appealing. It looked a bit dirty and grungy with some graffiti. It just set the mood for the place. I was bummed they didn't have touchless payment as I'm spoiled by my other gas station. So I did have to pull out my card. I gassed up my car and it easily did so and stopped as expected. Other than the not so welcoming looking pumps, the price was relatively cheaper than the others around it and just roughly $0.06 more than my other station so it was a win for me. Good to know that there's something comparable a little closer. Just wished they also had touchless payment.
