Shell the gas price january 6 2017

1240 georgesville 43228 Columbus Ohio.

There is a huge gap on charging for gas here. For 87 it was 2.38 but for 89 it went to 3.48. what kind of mark up is that. When everyone else around is either a .20 to .60 cents differences on plus. I would like you guys to look into and get back with me. My email [protected]@gmail.com. Also I went to other shell to make sure I was not over hallucinating about place. I could have went to another shell and been fine paying a little more but a whole 1.10 come on now!

Shell price gouging/overcharging

Date of Incident: 02JAN2017
Location: Vineland Shell ([protected]) 8788 Vineland Rd, Orlando FL 32821

This gas station is overcharging consumers/tourist for gas prices of $4.99-$6.99 per gallons. I pumped the gas and did not realized until I noticed that 7 gallons cost me at $50.02. The average prices for Florida is currently at $2.33-$2.89. I did not see any inspection sticker at the pump, so I am also submitting this complain to Dept of Agriculture/Consumer Services, BBB Orlando FL and Dept of Tourism. I am also in the process of contacting the Orlando local newspapers and TV news so that this abuse of overpriced Shell gas will be disseminated to all consumers as well as tourists.

Nice to see that the Price Gouger 'Wine Is Good' attempted to respond. This particular Shell Station should be shutdown. I myself pulled into this ripoff of a gas station, to luckily see the price on the pump before I proceeded to pump any gas. What a joke! Explains why no one was pumping gas. As I was pulling out (as fast as i could) I made sure to roll up to another potential sucker that pulled in to explain to them they were about to get ripped off and not to pump any gas.

Shell gas station attendant

Came to the gas station on bishop rd and the cashier was not there. Wanted and knocked on window for about 5 mins no one came to window. I rung the bell for the attendant but still nothing. If they was on a break there was no sign out for me to know they were on break. I left and went to another gas station. I came there about 1:40am. It was a very bad look for the company.

Shell pumps not maintained.

Shell station, 25291 i-10 w, san antonio, tx, 78257. #[protected].
I have traded at this station since before it was a shell. It is my nearest shell station (2 miles) and I have purchased shell (Here and when I travel) , exclusively for more than 15 years.
For many years, this station was well maintained. However, in the past 4 months or more, the pumps do not dispense a receipt. There are 10 pumps and none has dispenses a receipt. Every time I inquire if the pump is malfunctioning, I am told, "no, it is out of paper". So the management does not care that we have to go into the station to get the receipt. My next nearest shell is 7 miles. There is an exxon and volero at this same intersection so until I find that the pumps have been serviced, I will be purchasing exxon.
This a very disappointing.

Shell service at a shell station.

At approximately 1145am on 01/01/17 I attempted to cash in a lottery ticket to obtain gas from the shell station at park blvd at 66th st in Seminole Florida. For 2 minutes I was the only person in the store. Walked out to my car and my wife suggested we go to wawa i said no I like shell. I understand sometimes employees need to use the restroom. Instead of (Sam) apologizing for my wait, he simply said yes? Rude. He then looks at my ticket and says did you even scratch it? I said yes I won 30 dollars. He said how do you expect me to give you money if you didn't scratch it? Again very rude. Finally with a sigh he pulls a quarter out and scratches the barcode. Then he just says go ahead. All of these together have really caused a poor opinion for me with shell. There was zero customer service. You may reach me at [protected]@gmail.com. At this point I don't intend on returning as a patron of shell.

Shell there is a lady named colleen being rude with customers and employees.

This station is in Venise en Quebec, I don't appreciate her being rude and certainly manipulating her employes. She always sits down and when she's thier, the fridges are always empty and thier coffee area is always dirty with sugar and milk that was dropped. It would be appreciated, if you would implement a kind of penalty to her due to her miss treating the clients. On the other hand this shell in Venise en Quebec would also need gas pumps that don't leak on the customers hands and that are new simply.Thank you, have a nice day.

Shell gas

Went to the gas station which is a shell off of I35 and walnut hill fill the tank with premium and drive approximately 2 miles for a oil change at the dealership well needless to say my car starts running horrible. So after the oil change now the car won't start so the check it out, so after them going thru the necessary checks a day later they pull gas samples and find more water or should I say a milky white watery substance. After this costing a couple days work and over $1400 the store where I purchased the gas were no help. I once thought shell was the best thing going since it's all I ever used but after this I have nothing good to say. Sad when you can't trust the gas that operate the vehicles we drive or maybe it's the snakes that run the facility.

Shell Product not delivered

Order #[protected] was not delivered. The notification indicated "not deliverable as addressed".

After the product was ordered we moved from the address for delivery. Its is possible the new owners had the gate closed, so the USPS could not deliver.

Please attempt to deliver to the following address:
1021 Burlinghall Dr.
Long Beach, CA 90807

If this is not possible, I'm requesting a full refund of $30.08.

It seems rather convenient that none of your listed phone numbers for customer service work. Beginning to think I was scammed!

Shell gas

I attempted to pre pay at a shell gas station in Greenville Ohio this morning Wednesday December 28th. I did so with a pre paid visa card which had 20$ on it. Upon swiping it asked for a area code confirmation, the card obviously can't be confirmed that way so I cancelled the transaction without getting any gas. Later it came to my attention that the card was drained of all value by shell and being held for 30 days. I made NO transaction so there is no reason for all the money on that card to be held that is theft and I'd like to see it back on my card a.s.a.p.

Shell car wash/customer service

I came for gas on 12/27 @239 pm. I added the $11 car wash. I was in a hurry to get back to work so i didnt notice how dirty my car still was til i got back to work. I returned to the statuon at 810 pm and asked to either refund my money or let me run it thru. The attendant named Hanson said he couldnt give me a new code cause the wash was down. I said ok refund my money. He refused to do this as well. Tells me I should have came in right away, well I would have had I not needed to get back to work. Then tells me to return tomorrow for a new code after telling me he cant give me code because I should have come back right away. He refused to call a manager. So I said put it in writing that when I come in tomorrow you spoke to me and are giving me a new code and he refused to do this as well. I am so beyond pissed off I will not be coming back for wash or gas EVER and i will blast this all on social media as well because the customer service was #### and he also refused to look at my car. You can write your name clear as day on it and the back window you can see where the wipers have wiped so dirty. When i spend 9 bucks down the road and its spotless. I spend 11 here and its filthy. The only reason I didnt go where I do normally is because they are closed for renovations. I would like my money refunded asap. The store address is 7273 e evans ave denver co 80224 the number under address is [protected]. Auth number 457797 invoice number 258095 ticket total was 49.00 with gas 12/27/16 [protected] @ 2:39:04pm
I should not be able to run my finger down it and swipe off dirt this noticeable.

Shell rewards program

I went to a shell station located at 890 Blanding Blvd, Orange Park Florida, on 12.24.2016. I have a Winn Dixie rewards card with $1.95 per gallon of gas on it. I went to use the rewards card and a message came up and said I has to go inside to see the clerk. The clerk told my wife that we had to use a credit card first and the rewards card after we finished pumping gas. Well needless to say that was not correct. We ended up paying full price for gas. I has been a shell customer for many years, and this experience has left me not wanting to deal with Shell any longer. The clerk running the station told me he could not call the manager, because he did not have a phone, and the station did not have a phone. I am so frustrated with Shell and the way they handle a customers complaint. I would assume that Shell would make sure that the people that they have running their stations would be properly trained and have the knowledge to handle a rewards program that is Sponsored by Shell. I would like a refund of $39.00 a $1.95 per gal for the 20 gals that was purchased.

Thank You

Shell payment not credited to my account

On december 8th, 2016, I mailed in my payment of $65.51. The payment cleared my credit union on december 13th, 2016. When I received my statement, it showed that the payment wasn't received and I was charged a late fee. I have called the customer service number twice to have my account credited, but have received no assistance. I was told that there was no one available to help me and then I was told that I needed to go to my credit union and get a copy of the check. I would think that your customer service department should be able to look into this with my account number, check number and the amount due. I believe that my payment was credited to another account and I would like this to be investigated and my account credited.
This is the 3rd request for this to be cleared. I don't think I am asking too much here. I would appreciate some kind of assistance.
The name on the account is joyce solomon; my account number is [protected] 5; the check number is 12984. Again, the payment was sent on 12/8/16 and it cleared the credit union on 12/13/16.

I would like someone from Shell to investigate where my payment was posted. I should not have to be penalized for sending in my payment on time and it not being posted to my account on time. Very disappointed with your customer service department; It seems like no one wants to make an effort to assist me.

Shell cashier

I went in on Christmas Day at 4:40 p.m. EST and the guy didn't seem like he was having a good day. I get gum and a couple other things. I give him $100 bill and he throws it back at me and says 'No'. I said what? He said give me something smaller. Then I told him I didn't have anything smaller. 'How much do I have to buy for you to take this?' He said 'No'. I stayed looking at him. He then took the money and gave me my change. Horrible Attitude. Last time, I went in their and the other young kid didn't know how to function anything. How do you function a business with horrible attitude and limited knowledge? This gas station is located at 271 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury, MA 01545

The owner of the Shell store in Baldwin Ga {Rosh} sells drugs to customers from under the couner, I watched him get medical marijuana from beneath the counter and sell to a customer as I was playing the machines in the back room, I go to the Shell in Baldwin Ga because its the only store in Habersham county that the owner will pay cash to customers for playing the machines, he paid the couple playing the other two machines cash as I watched on video but sense he didn't know me he has only been at the store several weeks he traded my ticket for lottery, this store owner is a drug dealer and this store needs a surprise visit from the Shell corporation and check behind the counter for the illegal drugs he is selling along with glass pipes and scales for the use of weighing the drugs he is selling. This Shell Store is a front for owner being a drug dealer.

Shell faulty gas pump shut off causing loss of reward points

I went to shell station located at 3216 jefferson davis highway in alexandria va today 12/22/2016. I went to pump 3 and swiped my giant card to obtain my gas rewards which were $0.30. I then swiped debit card and proceeded to pump gas. The pump stopped after 1.320 gallons even though my tank was not full and it would not restart. I went to cashier and she told me that happens at that pump and to just restart process. I explained to her that would make me loose my reward points and she insisted it wouldn't. I asked her to manually deduct my $0.30 or figure out away to restart the pump. She said she couldn't and then insisted I would still have my points once I swiped card again. I explained to her that would not work and showed her. This is not the first time I was screwed out of my reward points at this station and feel that if pump 3 had known issues then the station is responsible for posting a note or getting the pump fixed. This feels like a deliberate scam and I will notify the bbb is this is not resolved. I have copies of both receipts, the first one clearly shows the $0.30 rewards, a date stamp and 1g bought and the 2nd receipt shows zero rewards, over 8g purchased within minutes of the original. This clearly shows there was an issue. I contacted shell corporate and they said this is a franchise location but would contact station owner. So basically I expect nothing to happen. All I can do is warn people to stay away from this station if you want to use your reward points.

I am egyptian-american, married to a taiwanese-american woman for 12 years, and can easily defend myself against the actionable offense of falsely calling me a "racist." I am considering charges against this man and a civil lawsuit for this obvious slander and defamation of character.
