Bayshore Shell

God Damn, this is the worst gas station in the universe. I have not been to this gas station for 5 years and due to the ignorant idiots that work here, I always avoid this station… until earlier this evening. It’s crazy that my main office is down the street from this station and when I’m in town, I drive the extra 2 miles to a different gas station to get gas.
Years ago, I witnessed someone get so pissed and spit at the rude, ignorant and illiterate employee! I’m not kidding; that was 6 — 8 years ago. I can completely understand why that person did so and would love to see it happen again.
Every time I got gas at this ghetto station, the pump handle would continuously stop nearly every three seconds. Last time I was here in 2011, I asked the ignorant employee what the problem was with the pumps and as usual, he was rude and did not give a shit.
I came here earlier to get gas, and knew it was going to be as bad as it had been in the past. So, I begin filling up, and what do you know, the stupid pump handle clicks off nearly every 5 seconds. I finally stop pumping and put the handle back. The gas pump took so long to generate a receipt and two minutes later… still failed to print the reciept. I took a photo with my phone. Finally the option for a rec displayed, but said the receipt was available inside. I went inside and told them I needed my receipt. The 2 idiots working there asked what pump. I told them the blue truck and the only one that was in use considering I was the only customer. They kept giving me attitude and finally gave me my receipt.
I don’t get their attitude. They have a low paying, zero skill job. I got news for you idiots… I make more God damn money in a fxxxing hour than you do in a damn pay period… you stupid, ignorant, low-​life pieces of shit!
Tonight’s issue is nothing new and is a continuous problem that’s obviously never been addressed or dealt with at this gas station. This gas station is a total scam.
I should also mention, another reason I stopped doing business here was because years ago, on 2 different occasions, BofA and Chase both cancelled and replaced our credit cards due to fraudulent hacks and transactions at this location; both at different times.
Due to their standard shady way of business, I will be reporting this company to some close acquaintances of mine who work for the CA Division of Measurement Standards and other buddies that work directly with San Mateo County Weights & Measures.
It’s so ridiculous how this gas station did such a shitty remodel and failed to address the obvious issues such as the inadequate and potential fraudulent issues with the pumps, along with failing to update their piece of shit carwash.
That car wash is a joke. There’s no way in hell I would ever take my car or truck through that piece of crap car wash. It has that awful system that scratches the cars. It’s so outdated and there are many better car washes that are touchless and do not scratch the vehicle as this one does.
I hope this place goes out of business and the ignorant illegal immigrants that work here become homeless!
Update: It’s approximately 1 week later and what do you know, two fraudulent transactions on my credit card. Thankfully, the card company cancelled the transactions. It’s time to get the FBI involved now. That is way too coincidental.

Gas pump #8 malfunctioned while I was using it — pumped very slowly, then the cutoff valve failed, spewing gasoline all over me, my car, and the pavement. I notified the station attendant, who was overwhelmed with customers. As I left there was a line of cars at pump #8, and no one was responding to the incident to suspend use of the pump or to fix it.
I breathed gasoline fumes all the way home to San Francisco and had to take my asthma inhaler when I got there. Isn’t there some way to report this problem???

If i can give it a zero star. i would. I got gas at this location on 2÷23÷15 and ask for a receipt, which is only prepay receipt so it does not provide how many gallons purchased for my work’s expense report. I didn’t notice it till i filed the reprot. I called back a week later and talk to a gal who tells me that they can’t get me a copy becuase it’s passed 5 days. She didnt feel very confident in providing that answer and was seeking guidance in spanish to her co worker.
So i called Shell’s corporate office and they told me this shell is a franchisee location. But they can provide a hand written receipt by the manager. Called back and spoke with a guy and asked to speak to the manager. The «manager» got on the phone and was the same gal i spoke with before. I asked for the manager and she said she is the manager and she says she can’t provide the copy. I told her that her corporate office says that the manager can provide a hand written receipt, which means they can see the information of the receipt, just maybe not able to print it out. She said to come in then. I requested the receipt to be faxed/​scanned and email to me. Gal claims that there is not fax machine there. I also ask her if you dont have a fax machine, how does she receive invoices from her vendor. She then says oh it’s broken. I refutted her claim based on the call earlier regarding her asking for help form her co worker and reqeust to talk to the manager. She then says she’s the assistant manager and that Martha, the manager is not available at the moment. I asked if Martha can call me when she’s available. Gal told me to call at 3pm. I told the gal to give my info to the manager to give me a call when she’s available. Since i’ll be calling at 3 anyways, i dont know when the manager is actually is avialable. For as far as i know, the manager is sitting there twiddling her thumb.

Ghettotastic. Actually, I know of 2 other gas stations that really should get that title, but I’ll save those for their reviews. Found out about this place recently because my friend needed to put gas in his car on the way back to the South Bay from SF. Gas pumps had really loud broadcasting blaring from the «TV screens» on them – is there any way to turn the volume down?
This time, I needed to put gas in my car on the way home from SF, since my gas light came on near the airport on the way up to SF. Didn’t fill up my tank in the city because it’s usually more expensive, thinking we’d hit this place on the way down. Well, we pull up to a lit up gas station with ALL of the pumps covered with plastic wrap that says «out of order.» WTF? Why are you even open? This place is useless to me (I’m guessing they stayed open for the convenience store part?). We left & found other options nearby on the other side of the freeway.

Late at night this place is totally ghetto fab. Got taxis lingering, strange characters dropping in and out. THe interface to the gas kiosk is so worn out that some of the buttons dont work unless you take like a pen tip and press them. Shit needs to get fixed big time. At least gas gets dispensed.

Cool gas station very limited selection hoping they get more variety as i come here alot because it is down the street from my work

Does a brisk business due to its proximity to the rental car agencies so be patient. You’ll see a bunch of folks that cut their time too close so they are driving (and acting) like jerks. Gas was the cheapest that we’d found though we hated the forced advertising at each pump. It was like LOUD commercials that you couldn’t turn off. The inside area for snacks seemed small but I was just there for the gas so it didn’t bother me.

This place is pretty ridiculous. It’s so tiny. When I went inside I though they were going to have a lot of snack selection, they didn’t…I thought they were going to have food like hot dogs or nachos and stuff, they didn’t…they didn’t even have a large selection of drinks, and if they did they were way too overpriced…

I used to come here all the time because it’s on the way home from work, it’s cheaper than the 76 station, and there is a live person working late at night when I get off. My debit card will flash 50 – 75 bucks when I buy gas at the pump even if I’m only getting 10 bucks worth, and sometimes it takes days to get that money back so I like to charge it at the counter. Unfortunately the last three times I have come here I think the graveyard employee has been sleeping in a back room or something. Her car is parked out front, the lights are on, but the bathroom key is sitting in the change tray and she is nowhere to be found. I’m stuck looking for gas elsewhere. :\
