The place doesn’t look very clean, but the worst part is that the bathrooms which everyone needs to use ( for men ) are our of service and the women’s bathroom is not very clean.
This is a Shell gas station with a larger store attached to a McDonald's. The bathrooms are multi-stall and were clean at the time of my visit but not in the best overall condition. The store sells typical gas station food and drinks as well as souvenir type local items. The store itself was also clean.
I do not agree with the fact that they kick homeless off of the property with police involved. Honestly, that is extremely disrespectful and pathetic for a community that supposed to be caring. Did you know by kicking them off that property they aren’t allowed to go to the McDonald’s either. The cheapest place to eat in dodge city. so not only do they not have shelter from the rain anymore. They can’t find a cheap meal unless they drive to hood hope.
They have pocket knives designed to look like AK47s on a low shelf right at the perfect height for preschoolers to grab. They open very easily and many are sitting there open. They're even right next to kids character items.
So irresponsible.
My experience today was a harrowing one. As I went up to the check out, I hear the two ladies on the clock gossiping (about who or what, I’m unsure). They did not acknowledge me, or stop their conversation for long enough to realize someone was standing there, until I spoke to them first. They proceeded to continue their conversation, while not speaking to me, simultaneously ringing up my purchases. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, I’m not that social anyway, but, as someone spending money in the establishment, it’d have been nice to have been acknowledged in some way(heck any way). At the end, the cashier said some of the only words through the entire process, she loudly proceeded to yell “Declined” when the card didn’t go through(because the cashier hit the wrong button, I might add). If someone were going through financial issues, this would be an extremely embarrassing way to be told that they cannot afford the things they are trying to purchase. There was an entire line of people and the store was a highly trafficked area.I would retrain your employees on polite conversation, acknowledging the consumer, and how to approach someone who may be having money issues. As I’ve said, she just hit the wrong button, so I wasn’t actually declined, but I’ve been in that position before & it’s not a nice feeling. Sole reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the place is clean, well stocked, and has a wonderful selection of everything. If only you all had better staff, it’d a perfect stop to fill up, snack, and shop.
