Uptown Chevron

I came to the Foodmart to buy gum and lottery tickets. The associate was an older white lady with short hair whose name I think was Shauntee. I gave her my temporary ID (my old ID expired last month and I’m waiting to get the permanent one in the mail). The woman scrutinized the ID then told me, «I have a hard time believing the DMV would give you something like this. It looks like a home job to me». I replied, «Really? Nobody else has said that before. If you scan it you can see that it is legitimate.» Then she smirked at me and said, «Seems like you’re more worried about it than I am. I can’t help you». She didn’t even try scanning the ID and she seemed very satisfied to be refusing me service. Aside from that, I even offered her my expired ID as additional proof of my identity — which she didn’t care to look at.
Horrible experience!

Should have gotten the receipt. Gas pump dude probably pocketed the cash and did not offer to give the receipt. Realized later the amount of gas did NOT match up with how much was paid.

This has the best location you could ask for in downtown Portland area. It’s convenient and serves as a great landmark for hiding people. Gas prices, well no gas station can control that but the fact that I don’t have to pump my own gas is precious

Oh Baby, this place keeps making a smile on my face!
Y’all can rant and scream about the over priced gasoline. But SERIOUSLY, this place delivers!
Placed high on the hill of Burnside and 23^rd you cannot beat the convenience and visibility! Prime real estate Baby! It’s on a huge corner. Everybody knows what Chevron you’re talking about when you say Uptown Chevron.
We’ve all been to crappy gas stations! The kind that give you the heeeby jeebies! The kind where Poor Brittany Spears walks bare foot in. The last ditch desperate potty break kind. This is not one of those sad little places. Uptown Chevron is what Billy Joel should have been singing too.
This Uptown Chevron is über shiny and clean. Every single employee is super nice and helpful. Genuine smiles and conversation.
I work one day a week in the area. So, I’ve only got gas here like once in the last three years. What I really stop in for is their coffee. I’m not picky when It comes to plain old coffee. Specially when it’s cheap. They’ve got great creamers and a variety of coffee types. Sometimes, I need a snack. They got that too.
They’ve certainly got their selection of bums that visit and buy their 40’s at 7am. However, they in no way distract from my experience. Quite nice the bums are at Uptown Chevron.
What can I say, I’m an Uptown Girl! ;)

Prices are high for gas just like all the other gas stations in town however the people at the pumps and behind the cash register and very friendly, polite, and courteous. I would definitely come back and fill up again just because I don’t feel like a bother to people at this station like I do elsewhere. Thanks for making one part of my day easy when the rest was not so easy

I visit the convenience store here somewhat frequently. The staff are a joy to see and chat with and the prices are typical. The place is always way cleaner than a typical area convenience store.
I do not buy gas here though, just a disclaimer.

Stoping by this gas station makes me happy. The staff is always friendly, they have a nice convenience store and are open 24 hours! Gas prices are a little steep but hey, its a business on nw 23^rd so thats the norm.

The most expensive station ever!

This place has the freshest Butterfingers in town — delicious! We all know, a Butterfinger that is hard on the inside bites! Best of all: no matter what is the time of the day you can go there and buy one.
Robert, who works behind the counter is awesome. He and the other staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome. Dogs like the place too, as they get a little treat when they visit.
The gas is indeed a bit expensive … still, this is a great place.

Every single time I stop to buy gas at this Chevron I am met with the worlds most pleasant and friendly gas attendants. They are always cheery and will sometimes chat a little with me as they fill my gas tank. Once I needed help putting oil in my car and an employee walked me through the whole thing. They make my day a little better every time I come here. As a bonus, there is one bearded fellow who works there with red hair who is quite easy on the eye.
The only downside is the price. (hence the 4 star rating.) It’s some of the most expensive gas in Portland. But most of the time I don’t even care because they are just lovely people to interact with.

Oh boy, I go to this Chevron only if I am on drop-​dead empty and the alternative is pushing my car over the hill to the cheaper gas over said hill.
Yikes! I was in exactly that situation and I paid $ 4.19 for a gallon of regular on May 12, 2011. I bought exactly $ 5.00, just enough to get myself over the hill to work and to the land of cheaper gas. Later I went to my old stand-​by Space Age Fuel on 185^th and Eider in Beaverton, OR. There, I paid $ 3.85 for the same gallon of gas. Even a gallon of supreme was $ 4.07 at Space Age. That is one heck of a price difference my friends.
I apologized to the man that had to run out in the cold to pump my measly $ 5.00 worth but he was supremely nice. This place is so convenient, why do they have to price gouge so heftily to the tune of an extra .34 cents per gallon for regular? When filling up these days, that really makes a huge difference.
Like I said, you my dear Chevron are a last resort and I will only buy from you the bare-​bones minimum needed to get me to another gas station.

Most friendly gas station attendants in Portland.
Rain or shine the guys who run the gas pumps are a friendly bunch. It’s not uncommon for them to wash your windows while you wait.
I imagine having a front row seat to people that traverse Burnside’s sidewalks keeps things entertaining.
–1 star: I realized today after passing up stations in Beaverton that their prices are 20¢ higher. Eeek!
P. S. — Unilocal may want to change the business name to Dick Scott’s Uptown Chevron as the owner’s name is Richard Scott. Scotts Dick? *snicker #snort
