I love this gas station! They have competitive prices for gas and you'd think having to go inside to pay for gas with a card instead of at the pump would be an inconvenience, but i actually look forward to it because I always have a friendly conversation with Ronny (I think it is). He's always there when I go in. Works hard and keeps the place running smoothly for his boss.
Yeah maybe there's a couple casual drug deals going on and loud music coming from one of the cars, but this is Tacoma, that's what makes this place what it is. I go out f my way 4 blocks to go to Spirit instead of AMPM or Shell. Because I like people that ask me my name and remember it next time I come in, not strangers who will card me for cigarettes even when I've been coming in every day for the last 2 months.
