Lou’s Chevron

I just had an experience with Lou (I presume) and I have to say that Litia J’s review that is listed under «not recommended» is spot on.
After a 2.5 hour drive on my way to a job site, I really needed to use a restroom badly.
I stopped in at the Circle K right off the freeway, but they had a sign «no restrooms» which is clearly a lie, they just don’t allow customers to use them. I left there and saw the Chevron, I thought surely a national brand like Chevron would have a restroom I could use.
I walked in on a mission and spotted the restroom, in my path I pass a large old man (presumably Lou) who asks me «you are going to buy something, aren’t you?’, «the restrooms are for customers, are you a customer?» to which I replied sure, as I continued into the restroom.
When I came out Lou (still presuming) was walking back in the store (from writing all the information from my company vehicle down).
I asked him «you really want me to buy something to use the restroom?»
He says «yeah, do you think in here for my health?», I replied «no, I don’t think you are here for your health. I was just checking if you were really gonna be that big of an a**hole.»
He replied «yes, I am going to be that big of an a**hole and I wrote all the information down from your company truck. I don’t need people getting gas down the street and coming here to use the restroom», I said «I didn’t get gas down the street, but I probably will be getting gas on my way out of town. I’d probably have gotten it here if you weren’t such an a**hole.» He then says he’s going to call my company and report me and for me to «get the fu*k out of my store, and don’t come back»
Needless to say I left without buying anything.
Not a good way to earn customers business, I’ll take his advice and never go back.

So I was just traveling through Lompoc today and was compelled to leave this review. Never have I been more satisfied with an experience at a gas station in a strange town. Not only was it clean but the employees were helpful and friendly.
There were also useful guide books to the area available which helped me to enjoy my time in this city. I would recommend this place to anyone whether passing through or if you are a local. You should purchase the DVD about beautiful Jalama Beach!

Cleanest bathrooms on Highway 1! Friendly knowledgable service and great selection in the store.
