I used to go to this gas station a lot because it's conveniently located at the corner of Innes and Tenth Line, and gas in Orleans is much cheaper than in Ottawa (obviously not worth driving there just for gas, but when you have family in Orleans like I do, I'm out there often anyway, so that's when I fill up). Shell also takes Air Miles which was another reason for me to go there.
I like this location because it's big, bright and clean. The staff are also nice. There's this Asian guy who works there, he's a bit soft-spoken but very friendly. We were talking about movies once while I was paying for my gas and he gave me a Scene magazine that he said he picked up recently at the movie theatre. I know that these magazines are free, but I thought it was a nice gesture.
I would probably still be going to this gas station often if it wasn't for the fact that I got a discount card at Petro Canada that gives me an extra 3 cents off per litre. I look at the prices and go to the cheapest place taking the discount into account.
This Shell and the Petro Canada on Innes at Lanthier are my favourite gas stations. read more
