Esso

First time in the area out by Sandy Beach, my apologies I can’t recall name of the beautiful reserve Alexandria ? maybe?nI am somewhat new to the province - I grew up in Halifax - never seen dogs like this before.nWhat a clean facility with loads of selection and great service!nI learned the doggos hang out and don’t really belong to anyone - they are very healthy and clean looking and friendly dogs to meet and have this experience like no other pumping gasnIt was fun to have the friendly moral support pumping gas - a first for me! Lol

Such a shame. I've done my best in the past to avoid leaving a negative review for various issues, but today was the last piece of the negative puzzle. Let me explain:nnHours: On occasion I have needed to use the station at 3-4am. Doors were either locked, or the staff member wasn't present OR on his phone.nnExterior services: Gas is costly, for years both of the doors wouldn't work correctly, the hand sanitizer was always empty during Covid, the air was temperamental for filling tires and the store owners Hummer gets parked in an awkward place, requiring people to squeeze by.nnAnd the owner, the older gentleman in particular *PLEASE READ THIS* If your gas pumps stop working and a customer is concerned, don't start literally talking abusively at them. It's been a while since I've heard a store owner talk like that, and if it was an employee I can assure you it would not go well for them. Learn your place, be receptive and assuring. If my card gets charged by accident I will be going straight to Esso for a formal complaint.nnYou're a franchise owner, take some pride... please!

Decent store, they even got some new hot food installed recently, If you're paying with cash watch out for your change though, I knew I was shorted and I asked for the receipt. , the lady corrected her shortage before even giving me my receipt, which tells me it's an obvious sign she knew what she was doing. $1.10 from every cash-paying customer is a nice pocketful at the end of the day,

Went to get a late night snack. Door was locked and overnight attendant just stat there on his phone playing games without acknowledging me, even after knocking on the door he ignored me. could have told me at least a reason why it was closed or leave a sign at least so i know when you open back up. Not 24/7. Went out in the cold for no reason.

Great small town gas station. Great staff.
