BP

Cashiers are sometimes friendly. Always a slow moving line. Homeless stay posted at this gas station. Can’t get a car wash anymore because I feel harassed when I come out. Overall bad management.

I always dread getting gas here. Panhandlers abound. This evening, a guy was driving around the lot in a mini van asking people who were pumping gas for money. Seriously?!

Fuel pump #11 kept on stopping and was out of receipt tape. When I went in to notify the attendant, it didn’t seem like the guy gave 2 cares what I was saying. Avoid this gas station.

Be warned, the barriers at the end of the gas pump islands project WAY too far into paths of cars than is necessary. In February, on the first mildly temperate Sunday in memory when customers were crammed every which way trying to jockey for an open pump — which happens all to often unfortunately — while pulling up to a pump and trying to avoid a car on my left which was circling the OTHER direction to get to the other side of the pump, I crushed my rear passenger door against one of these barriers. To the tune of $ 1200 in necessary repairs to be clear. Do yourself a favor and find a gas station less crowded and with fewer unnecessary obstacles.

The gas station is fine (lots of pumps) but the car wash a problem. But I did not expect to sit in line for an extended period of time. I finally walked over to see if perhaps it was broken. Finally I timed it. It took 6 minutes for each car. So four cars in front of mine meant almost 30 minutes. Had I realized it, I would have skipped it!

expect a faulty pump. The pump did not stop pumping when my tank was full. Gasoline was spilt everywhere. I was charged for the spilt gas and they refused to give me my money back for the spilt gasoline. Rude staff. Yelled at me when I came to talk to the manager. How do people manage businesses now a days?

I bought a car washed when I got gas because it’s winter and my car is gross and because I thought, how long can one of those automatic car washes take? Well 30 minutes later I still haven’t gotten the car washed. There are 3 more cars in front of me so I expect to be here for at least 45 minutes before my car gets washed. No comment on the quality of the wash yet…

I enjoy some of the workers. I work around the corner, however the car wash is a no no. I sat stuck for an hour waiting watching people walk back and forth to pay. It also snatched my plate half way off. The workers do not know how to fix anything or even reset the thing. The lady 2 cars in front of me came out the wash with soap still on her truck how im not sure. She complained and I had to tell them to reset it and how to do it…

Specifically regarding the car wash:
1. The automatic wash scratched the roof of my (brand new) car.
2. The machine at which you pay for your wash as you drive up accepts only exact change cash or a code purchased with fuel. There’s no indication of this ahead of time, so people were stuck making everyone in line behind them back out. Yikes.

UNSAFE, DIRTY, VILE, pumps broken:
be prepared 2 be approached for money & people say nasty things if you decline to give them cash. Three pumps were broken. Had to go inside for a receipt. Staff were incompetent & zero interest in helping.
CAR WASH: No soap! It’s soooooo disgusting in there. All bacteria & mold on the walls.
This gas station is the depths of hell!!!

beware beware– their pumps do not dispense «regular» fuel. the customer is forced to buy «premium“unless they want to drive off without fueling up. the station owner knows this, and rightly figures that most people will just shrug it off and buy the premium. this tactic adds quite a bit to their bottom line over the course of a month. this is a classic ‘bait and switch». don’t be a sheep. go buy your gas somewhere else.

Very clean, there’s a car wash that will clean your undercarriage (important during the winter).
Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s also at Roosevelt and Wabash, so what do you expect?
Having a full-​blown gas station with a carwash this close to the loop is fantastic.

Yep, much more expensive to buy diesel here than outside of town. But hey, if you live in the city then who wants to drive through 30 minutes of traffic or more to save 5 bucks on a tank of fuel? OK, maybe my grandpa would do it. Otherwise, this is well lit and the pumps etc always seem to be clean and functional. Theres an auto car wash too, if you don’t mind your new car paint getting all those little auto car wash swirls scratched in the surface. Rumor has it this place sells trucker pills and libido enhancement products, as well as energy drinks and hot dogs…

EXPENSIVE! Yea I know it’s the city… but this gas station is even expensive for the city! I paid 50 cents MORE per gallon than I would if I had just filled up in the burbs. That’s ridiculous… oh and guess what… after I filled up here, I drove 30 seconds down to congress parkway to get onto 290… literally a couple of blocks away and THAT BP was 10 cents cheaper per gallon than this one! WHAAAAAT!!! TEN CENTS! Reeedic!
Should’ve filled up in the burbs and saved myself $ 5 off one tank.

I came here last to fill up gas because I was lazy and didnt want to look for anything cheaper. Plus, this gas station is located right down the street from me. I didnt want to waste gas to find cheap gas.
Yes, this place has expensive gas. But its located right off Michigan Avenue AND Lakeshore drive. Location, location, location!
There are a lot of pumps at this location, which is a plus. What sucks is that it is usually very congested and people get stupid trying to figure out how to leave this gas station.
They have a car wash here, but its closed during the winters. Who is going to wash my car then!!!
With the whole oil spill issue, I didn’t want to support BP. But laziness wins every time! =(

Gotta love a company that destroys massive areas of wildlife, ends the careers of thousands of shrimpers and fisherman, and spoils some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. «Drill baby, drill.» Oh, yeah.
Oh, and the BP at Roos and Wabash – murder. One of the most impossible gas station parking lots I have ever navigated. A painful experience. With any luck your car won’t be hit by someone else, and you won’t hit someone. Fingers crossed.

Nice job at coating those pelicans. You guys are real bad asses by showing those birds whose boss.

Writing a review for a gas station is probably as ridiculous as writing a review for a Dunkin Donuts; however, in light of recent news and my latest trip here, I decided to post this. Should you randomly decide to Unilocal before filling up your gas tank or getting a gas station car wash– consider this a warning: AVOID THIS PLACE IF POSSIBLE.
It’s convenient location makes me forget what a nuisance it is to come here. About 90%of the time, there is some issue with the pumps– they dont work, they don’t let you prepay, etc. etc. I almost always have to move to another pump. And the car wash is an awful mistake I embarrassingly made twice. Both times– there were issues with the code (you prepay inside, they give you a code) that resulted in me having to go back inside, leave the line, etc. and the wash was so bad it didnt even remove the giant spot of bird sh*t from my windshield. Yuck.

i always love BP, but this one, un… charge more than other gasoline.
it’ the closest gas station where i can get gas to fill up my tank.
but…this one sometimes (I’ve experienced 3 times) just no gas.
and i just don’t know why their air pumper always «out of orders»!
i use to love their soup bar a lot so i have to buy a different soup there every morning before i go work, don’t know why they not have it any more. not happy about this!!! =(

Someone needs to tell this place it isn’t 1989 anymore and that the South Loop is safer now. It’s ridiculous that they close their food mart from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.
Anyone any heard of late night munchies? I could go to Jewel across the street and buy four times what I need but it’d be much easier to walk into this food mart if it were open. You can still get gas and name products for the person at the window to get you but it’s not worth it. For one, since it depends on the window, it’s a great spot for aggressive homeless people to coalesce which actually makes it more dangerous and second, this gas station is much more expensive than nearby gas stations (60 cents more as of today).
Oh yeah, and BP also dumps 1,584 pounds of ammonia into Lake Michigan a day.
