Just a friendly reminder that our pumps are available 24 hours! You can now get fuel anytime it’s convenient for you.

A friend posted on Facebook their frustrations regarding gas prices. Someone commented what you see in the picture. I responded with “Please don’t” along with an explanation of why I said that. Which is basically…

We are also frustrated at fuel costs. Our invoices are ungodly high. And we pay those before we make the minuscule profit we do. Unfortunately, because we are the face people see, we get the brunt of the anger/frustration.

In addition, people put these stickers on our pumps not realizing if we don’t catch them in time and our secret shopper comes through, we get penalized. Not to mention, one was recently on the display. If we accidentally damage the screen trying to remove the sticker, it’s an atrocious amount out of our pocket to replace it. We already have enough out-of-pocket expenses for things like people opening the cabinet in the bathroom where we store our extra toilet paper and paper towels and peeing all over them (yes, this legitimately happened this past week 😩🤯😤😵‍💫).

We 100% understand why people are frustrated, as we are too. But, doing things like putting stickers on the pump is misplaced anger and negatively affects the wrong people.

Thank you for coming to my Gas Station Ted Talk/a.k.a. Carlock Auto Servicenter/BP Chronicles. 😊

Carlock Auto Servicenter/BP is still looking for a sub cashier to fill in for weekday vacations and illnesses (those don’t happen often).

If you (or someone you know) may be interested, please send them my way!

Thanks!

We’re switching up our counter change jar to a charity rotation every two months. We will still host one for St. Jude in the mix.

The remainder of this month, June, and July, we will be collecting donations for Ruby’s Rescue & Retreat!

Jean Ann and Tim work tirelessly to take care of so many puppies/dogs that don’t have a home. They ensure that the families these pups go to are thoroughly screened so they know the lives they’re taking care of are going to good homes. They have a lot of food, vet bills, utilities, etc. to pay for, so this is why we’ve chosen them for our first indoor change/dollar container fundraiser!

(If you have any charities in mind, please feel free to share them with us!)

The day is finally here! We now have fuel/diesel available 24 hours, 7 days/week!!! It’s been a long time coming so we are very excited!!

We hope this makes it convenient for all of our customers to get your fuel/diesel from us.

Thank you so much for your patience while everyone involved worked out the kinks!

As a reminder, regular, silver, and premium are out front of the building, and diesel is in the back. (Both canopies will be lit up overnight.)

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing mom’s out there! 🩷

We ordered a couple new refrigerated items, including some new cheese flavors, and strawberry milk. We’ll be getting some new candy/food items in soon too. Come check them out!

We’re also one step closer to 24-hour pumps! We got word is permit is being submitted and once the fire marshal does the final approval, we’ll be up and running our pumps 24 hours a day! I’ll continue to keep you posted.

Have a beautiful Wednesday! Enjoy this gorgeous weather!! ☀️

It’s been a while since I’ve put out an update on the 24-hour pumps.

There was a discrepancy between some of the people involved in making this a go. I called the fire marshal to get the final word, and it’s been decided a couple things need to be changed to bring it to code and get the permit approved to send in. That work is supposed to be completed by the suppression system company tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it’s smooth sailing after that. It’s been a LONG 6 months since I started the ball rolling on this project. I had hoped to have them up and going months ago, but life had other plans. 😊

Thank you so much for your patience while we try and help everyone involved get the kinks worked out (our only job was to write the check, and we did that very well 😂). Fingers crossed they’re up and going by May 1. 🤞🏻
