NOCO Express

Knocker Express is a nearby adult store, or is it a strip club, I forget. But this is not that, I promise.
I was last here about 2 weeks ago to sneak an iced tea for myself (Upstate Farms) which I don’t usually drink anymore, but once in awhile it’s not the end of the world. The guy that works here is really nice and I like to come here for gas once in awhile because they are such nice people. Plus it’s open around the clock and conveniently located in an area with not much open late at night. I live about 10 mins from here.
What I like about this store, despite the iffy service, is that they sell the Upstate Farms Iced Tea (Lemon) that I used to be addicted to. Most places don’t. And I really appreciate that, as it’s amazing iced tea. Still, the gas here is pretty pricy so I can’t give it a 5. But the excellent service and the iced tea ensure it scores a very healthy 4.
Be very careful in this parking lot in the winter… it gets icy, and becomes like walking on a hockey rink.

Always a good deal on gas and right around the corner from home base. I love that their pumps have the little pump trigger stand. You know, that little thing you can use to keep the pump held closed without having to hold it so your gas pumps but your hands don’t freeze in the winter? I don’t know what they’re really called… Anyway, I stopped on my way home from ladies night last night after my sister drove my SUV down to fumes. My 15 gallon tank was so empty, it actually took 15.9 gallons of gas… Yikes! Saved in the nick of time!
I made the huge mistake of looking up while I was pumping my gas and I saw some of the hugest sharpest looking spiders ever in huge webs all over the top of the pump and roof… I literally just got the willies remembering how menacing they looked (I have an irrational fear of spiders). But I’m glad they were there and not in my yard or around my house… Blech!
If you’re nuts like me, don’t look up. Well, maybe you should because then you’ll know that nothing is about to fall on your head. Or maybe it is…
Okay, gas pumps are great, the little pump stopper thingy is great, snacks in the store are great, cashier always friendly. But those spiders… I’ll stop now… Haha!
