Arco AM-PM Mini Market

I have been here numerous times as the price is usually quite good. My opinion has lessened each time to where I will NEVER patron this business again. Debit is NOT treated as cash as in most other gas stations, staff had advised differently but it’s not true, you pay the higher price for debit just as you would for a credit card. There is a little sign I think but staff told me it was the same! The unit they have at the pump to pay cash rarely works fully well and if you want a receipt it’s usually empty forcing you to go inside hmmm maybe you’ll see something else you want to buy while you’re in there … intentionally out of paper for receipts? … I’m suspicious. You must go inside for change too. I had wanted to talk to staff about the receipt issue and the cashier told me the manager was right in the store and pointed him out so I went to talk to him and he waved his hands in front of me, shutting me down, and saying he wasn’t the manager and pointed back to the cashier. I went up to the cashier, got my change and receipt, asked if they were playing with me?! I told them that I’d had enough of their poor business practises and that I nor anyone I know will be back. I did mean it this time, although I’d had rude, indifferent service before… this was it! I’d rather pay a few cents more than give this place my business and money.

Best prices for gas just before you get to the Canadian border. Usually just a penny or two per gallon more than Costco in Bellingham (with cash or debit) but the line ups at Costco with BC cars are too long to save 20 additional cents. You will seriously spend 30 minutes waiting for gas at Bellingham Costco during the weekend. These people must have a lot of time on their hands. It reminds me of the gas rationing lines back in the 70’s.
