Esplanade Gas

They got the cheapest gas in Chico right now. I go there to fill up and sometimes get a 99¢ drink. The people inside are friendly. Haven't tried their other services, but the gas station is great.

Pulled into this station. Not one person around. Went inside to pay. Couldn't see anyone. (She was sitting down under the counter. She finally stood up. Tried to pump gas but the screen hadn't been cleared so had to go back in the store to tell her to do that. Still didn't clear. She finally came out again. Finally got it taken care of. Pumped the gas and went in to get my change. Told her I wanted a car wash. Waited outside in the car for whoever was supposed to soap and brush the tires. No one came. Back in the store. The person who does ghat job was taking a break and didn't want to do it. Had to get out and do it myself. Made it into the car wash, got it washed but there was no dryer working. Turns out your car wash may be free but they don't tell you it's $7.99 and up if you want it dried! Used to go there many years ago when it was a finely run place. Not anymore. It's no wonder there was no one around or any other cars. I think this place is going out of business and if ghey aren't, they should be.
