I didn't know that when I was pulling into the Matilda at Everton Park that I was in fact entering…read morea time machine. I'd turned off the engine and had cracked open my door when a young man with a few scallywag hairs on his chin closed it shut again and said "there's no need for that, maam. How much fuel are you getting today?". I was dumbfounded. "Ahhh....$15." The young gent scurried off to fill up my tank. He notioned for me to wind down the passenger window so we could talk about things like the weather and the football. I watched him with a kind of disbelieving smile on my face throughout the entire process. He came back for my money, ran inside and came back in a flash with $5 change. I thought this kind of service was ditched for self service before I was even born. I had been transported to a slower, more polite time. When I told my pa about it, he slapped his knee and spouted a "that's how they used to do it back in the good old days..." which soon turned into a solemn examination of 'what's wrong with the world today'. Ho-hum. So, go there! You'd never expect to be so pleased with a petrol station experience. Know this though- they only offer this service from Monday to Friday. On weekends, you have to fend for yourself.

I'm actually surprised this BP hasn't been reviewed yet. The major truck stop heading North on the…read moreBruce Highway from Brisbane is home to this lovely BP. There's also one heading South bound on the same part of the highway. There are a heap of bowsers, don't ask me about prices because I never take note, there's a decent amount of snacks and other petrol station paraphernalia on hand, and it's attached to the other food joints at the truck stop. Things to note: Pay for frozen coke, then buy. CD's available for car trips. Line is often odd and goes out the door or to the side. There's an information kiosk here too.

Most of the time the toilets are well cleaned, but bear in mind it can get extremely busy at peak times. Great place to stop and recharge the batteries before setting off again.

The station is close to Nundah Village and Southern Cross Way, which links up to the Gateway. The staff are fine, get you in and out quickly. Though I have been in when their EFTPOS was down and the situation wasn't handled very well. Not telling people until they were at the register, and they didn't seem to understand the upset gent in front of me who wanted a receipt. You need to be prepared for these situations, and they certainly were not. The drive way has a number of entrances and exits, and is located on the corner. So whichever direction you're coming from or need to go to, you should be able to easily access this BP.

Last night was a busy night and I had no time to fill up. I was nearing on empty and freaking out…read more This morning was no different. I had to run errands as well as visit a friend at the Royal Brisbane and Womens Hospital. As I was driving down Butterfield St towards Bowen Bridge Road, about to go the carpark of the hospital, I suddenly remember there was a BP on the corner of these roads. YES! Alleluia, I'm saved. How convenient, a petrol station just by the hospital was exactly what I needed. I filled up and queued to pay. As I waited in the line, I got tempted by the Wild Bean Cafe here which sells muffins (and the like) and obviously, coffee. I promptly hopped out of line and ordered myself a coffee and got a chocolate muffin. Both were delicious. The muffin was so rich and fluffy and the coffee was very smooth and professionally made. The customer service was just as delightful, with both Wild Bean Cafe staff and the BP staff. Both staff members took time to ask how my morning has been, as they processed payment. So lovely to get this service, especially at a busy petrol station.

Just a warning to those with families out there: you probably don't want to visit this station late…read moreat night, or even any time of night if it's Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Located near the city, BP Milton brings flocks of drunks to its store, craving snacks after a night out clubbing in the CBD or Fortitude Valley. During the day, it's largely fine. You'll even see a high proportion of businessmen filling up their Beamers on a lunch break. On the other hand, I recently saw a drunk guy in his late 20s stumbling around here at around 9pm on a Thursday, talking aggressively to a scared family that were hastily trying to shove their kids in their SUV and get the hell out of there. I don't know how the staff here deal with such types - the staff always seem polite to me, joyful even; they must employ saints. For more information on the undesirables that frequent BP Milton, please read about the neighbouring McDonald's and carpark at the McDonald's Milton listing.

In addition to the hooligans and drunks who frequent this BP station on weekends, I'd like to add…read moreone more thing to the small list of things I'm not too fond of at this BP. If you are like me and drive past this BP a lot, then you'd agree, it's not the cheapest pump to fuel up at. It's always up to around 5 to 10 cents dearer to fill up here compared to most others. For example, tonight, it is 149.9 cents whereas most other places are around the 143.9 cents mark for unleaded. It is one of the only petrol stations I've seen that are in the high 140 + cents, or over 150 cents per litre. What a rip! I'd say its prices are strategically set higher because of its inner city location and they know they can afford to put prices higher as there will always have customers around who'd want to pay it anyways.
