Like the convenience of this location (right by the Thruway) and that there are lots of pumps with decent prices. The coffee and sandwiches here are actually quite good.

Although I wasn't forced to (given the other nearby options) I chose to make life easy and come her instead. I didn't see much on the route in terms of gas, but decided to make things easy. However, once I got here, I didn't see any other cars here, nor did any other cars ever pull into this station (until after I got done and was about to leave). It was so freaky, it was if I could hear a pin drop; it was dead silent here. The transaction went pretty smoothly, given the conditions I was up against with my GasBuddy card in-hand...right up until I was ready to collect my receipt. The pump operated smoothly, although when I tried to click it off at 19.70, it stopped at 19.71 just as I hung up the nozzle and I didn't even realize it. The pump told me to go inside and collect my receipt. I didn't know about the price adjustment, but I won't worry about the penny. When I got inside, I saw no one in their either. The one employee they had working was sitting down just off the main room in a small (what looked to be) hallway (near I don't know what). However, as soon as I announced my intentions with my "Pay-at-the-Pump" transaction and the need for a receipt that the pump said to go inside for the receipt (pump 5), the employee came out and printed out my receipt. I took my receipt and headed out. I know Kerhonkson is this sleepy town with little to no action, but it was TOO quiet for this transaction to have gone over well.

No apology. No offer of restitution. This morning I try to use my loyalty card while gassing up my car. I type in my rewards number, it offers me my discount, I click yes and the strangest thing happens: it prints a receipt while I am approving my Samsung Pay. I finish filling my tank and it prints a receipt that DOES NOT reflect my points being used. I go inside and the cashier says "I don't know anything about that" and directs me to the manager who just arrived. I talk to the manager who proceeds to tell ne (1) "that's outside, we have no control of that", (2) "if you said yes" and multiple variations of this is my fault and must have selected the wrong payment option (there were two options: apply discount yes or no don't), and finally (3) while gesturing me to leave, tells me to "go to the website; maybe they can tell you what happened and give your points back." The total losses is less than 3 lunchables but the dollar value isn't the point... the lack of customer service and the constant ping pong refrain of "I can't do anything/I don't know anything about this" and "you must have done something wrong" is frustrating to the point I don't want to use this normally convenient gas station.

This Mobil Mart was rather kind to me tonight when I walked into the store at nearly 12:15AM,…read morehaving come from the Poughkeepsie Galleria where I worked as an RGIS employee. I walked inside needing a bottle of spring water, and although it took me a few moments to find a suitable one for a decent price (the prices are very confusing, some are above the product and some are below), I did find the product. I had had no help from the employees when trying to find the water (not like I requested much in finding them at all) but trying to decipher the prices, that's what my problem was. I saw an employee walk back into the back storeroom (or what I believe to be a back storeroom, but she never did greet me with "if you need me, I'll be right back." Where's the customer service, when you see a customer in the store, employee? However, it took me a few moments to grab it out of the case and up to the register I went. I set the bottle down and she proceeded to ring up the order. She reminded me that Plenti is in use here, and after digging a few moments in my wallet, I informed her that it would probably be best if someone looked it up by phone number. I do believe I carry that card on me, but I don't recall the last time I actually used that card. The rest of the transaction went smoothly. I handed her the money when the time came, and she gave me the right change. Convenient in a pinch when the McDonalds across the street was closed (the one that is supposedly open 24/7)? Yep. I'd say this is a great transaction that could have gone wrong from the start had I felt differently about the pricing situation which was present here. It was an emergency for me to buy water, but this day just seemed more awkward. Thanks for being there.

You can usually get gas at a good price here. Gas is, in general, cheaper in Columbia County than…read moreRensaleer County to the north and Dutchess County to the south. There are 3 competing gas stations/Marts in this area. The store here is probably the smallest of the 3 (the other 2 being a Mobil Xtra Mart and a Stewarts). But today when I stopped for gas, the gas here was several cents cheaper than both of the others. Be aware, though, that the cheapest price on the sign is for cash. If you pay by credit card, it is slightly more. This time, that was 2 cents a gallon more, but that was still cheaper than the other 2 stations.

If you want firewood for your chimney, kitchen items, board games, Vermont chocolate truffles, camping+fishing supplies- this is the spot. Heck, I'm even sure you'll get a good fill of gossip- and won't ever leave disappointed. Come hungry- as Olive's has Board's Head products, sandwiches, salads, cooked veggies available, etc. Oh....and come for breakfast. Nothing fancy- just the basics: bagels, pancakes, omelette, toast, etc. The hot beverage station is stocked with regular and decaf coffee thermoses, several tea flavors (awesome)- including a Bigelow Chai Vanilla, several types of creamers, milk and non-dairy as well. Take a seat in their dining room in the back and enjoy your breakfast or lunch without any pressure. I'm not sure if they use the same griddle for eggs and pork- so I played it safe with a toasted plain bagel+butter and got hubs the toasted bagel with bacon+cream cheese. My bagel isn't anything high-end but it had some plumpness, slightly crunchy outside and with just enough tug to the chew. Olive's offers a different type of shopping. Service is friendly with that 'country store' energy and price, is decent.
