And the dog rolls on…read more... I've been working at a friend's farm over in Bull Valley a lot, and they've been placating (read: bribing) me with occassional treats from this place, even though they themselves are nutritionally and philosophically opposed to such stuff. I guess I'm a bad influence... I've found that I'm growing to like the place; it is always reliably clean, though the staff can be a little on the surly, uncommunicative side most of the time. But hey -- its an effing gas station, not a fine dining restaurant. Sometimes grumpy can be charming, if it's done right. No, this is not "Ed Debevics charming," but what do you want for $2.22? I've given up on the whole ice tea thing; I'm much happier for having just let the whole thing go. I stick to coffee and icees, as needed, and things go along fine. They really have an exceptional coffee and fixin's set up. Viva le roller dog!

Now, before I write this I have to say first that I LOVE the Thorton's in Round Lake Beach. The…read morepeople there are great and the service is excellent. So, I guess I expected the same treatment at the McHenry store where I stopped in specifically for an ice tea. I mean--I had my friend drive there on the way to somewhere else so I could get one. Love their ice tea. Really, really love it. Tall, icy, refreshing and full of lemon--shway! I Get it from the RLB location any time night or day. So, I was a bit surprised when I got to the Mchenry location and found the ice tea machine and the lemon container both dry as a bone. When I asked the gentleman who worked there if I could get some he waved his hand and said: "No--if it's not there then it's gone. And we're not going to make any more tonight because nobody wants it." Which confused me because I was standing there telling him I wanted it. It was...I believe the technical phrase is, "Uber sucky service." I also watched him throw a bit of a hissy fit to his co worker about whether or not the pop machines were clean and how someone else--who wasn't present at the moment-- would just, "Have to deal with it..." Maybe he was having a bad night. That's understandable. It happens. But I still won't be going back.. The experience sucked monkey privates.

I haven't visited a Thornton's before, so I don't know if every Thornton's is this amazing and Fox Lake just gets the good review, or if this one itself is truly that great. Their gas pumps are always clean and well maintained-- and their gas prices aren't that bad either! Now the inside of the gas station-- this is where the magic happens. I have never seen such an amazing selection of beverages all the way from pop varieties, slushies, coffees, cappuccinos and teas. They also have some great toppings to add to your hot beverages, like marshmallows and flavored shots and sauces. Their "fast foods" section is pretty amazing as well-- full of hot dogs and greasy-dough wrapped meat things, just to name a couple. This section also has some tasty toppings to include on your 'dogs! I could make a meal out of the condiments themselves-- tomatoes, jalapeños, salsa, cheese, etc. One last shining star of this gas station is the "Refreshing Rewards" membership program. When you sign up for this free program, you get 10 cents off every gallon of gas you purchase for the first 30 days. That's a pretty sweet deal, if I do say so myself-- especially since there are no limitations on the amount of gas you can buy! Can you say winning?! In addition to the 30 days of 10 cents off, you get rewarded for purchasing beverages (hence the name of the program), and I believe some money off your gas after the initial 30 days. I have been very impressed with this gas station (as well as the nice staff there). When I have a choice of gas stations and Thornton's is among those options, I will always stop there.

When I asked the clerk where this was located on pump she said it was there but didn't know where. I asked her to walk out with me and show me. She had no idea where signage was located. She asked another employee and we all went out once more. There it was (see attached pic). Tiny signage 8 ft high with unreadable directions. She tried to explain how to get to the station but being unfamiliar with the area I found thus to be very unethical. I asked fir a refund which I received.
