CITGO cashier profanity and rude behavior.

Complaining to district managers doesn't change the behavior in this store. One even admitted that he was powerless to stop bad behavior in the store by his employees. One particular employee uses vulgar language including the "F" word that you can hear all over the store. If you try to complain about her, she then pulls out her personal cell phone and starts recording you. Then if you call a district manager, and later try to do business in the store, she refuses to ring ring up your purchase or wait on you because you complained about her. The in-store manager then backs her up and does nothing to stop the bad behavior, even when the manager hears her employees shouting down a customer while making a complaint. A review by cameras in the store along with hearing what is being said is necessary by the owner of this store to see how bad this is. The last incident was Dec 26, 2017 at about 11:45- 11:55 am. The manager seems powerless over these employees and doesn't appear to have any customer service and courtesy skills whatsoever.

CITGO gasoline

The price on the highway marker is always less than the price at the pump. I've been there numerous times and it's always the same. I am a regular Citgo customer and this place gives Citgo a bad reputation. I've tested this on numerous occasions. I check the price on the road marker and then go to the pumps. It's always different. I assumed the manager would get the message in that I did not purchase any gas. I believe the low prices on the roar marker is a scam to get customers to the pump. First couple of times I didn't notice the price difference.

CITGO gas station

93 gas shooting out disel gas. On september. 23, 2016 my husband put 40 dollars in our 2015 chevolet impala soon as he left the station our car started smoking black smoke and cutting off when my husband went back up there not even 20 mins. Later they had signs stating only regular gas. Hubby told one of the clerks and ask could he have a reciept they said no. So on monday september 26, 2016 at 5:30 am my hubby was leaving for work and tried to start the car and it did nothing so we had it towed to the chevolet dealership and they just contacted us and informed us of the horrible news. Now we will be out of pocket for 1790. I haven't had my car for 3 months

CITGO business partner with citgo

I am a citgo business owner in russellville, alabama! In 2013, people from sunstate oil came to us to put a brand name on our unbranded gas station. We agreed because they sounded so nice, and confident. We signed contracts without readinh carefully! That is our mistake. anytime we had a problem they were so rude. They charge so much. 100 dollars for something, 75 for something 600 year for help line, etc etc! Business got slow so we couldnt pay there gas payment on time. And asked for more time. After few months had this paid paid. They promised us they will send gas. Now they want COD shipping first. They are so rude and harsh. I have all the proofs against them. I dont know what to do. I am sitting here withou any gas. Business is dead. I am trying so hard to contact the president of citgo. He can give me a solution. There are so many problems going on. Its hard to explain. Kf anyone knows what to do. Please contact me at [protected]@yahoo.com. Thanks i am very upset and i am thinking of taking their signs down. Mr. Kapaddia and rick blow and rusty murray are the worse partners i ever had in my life. They say something else and do something else. I wish i never signed those contract papers.

CITGO rude attendant

The attendant was very rude to me. I had tried to get coffee out of the urn under the brewer because all the others were empty. I noticed that it was empty, too, so I walked away. When I got in line, Denise was over at the urn cursing and saying she wished people would learn how to leave things alone. I apologized then, explaining I just wanted coffee. Then after watching her angrily ring up the other customers in line, my turn came. I apologized again although I was really upset with the way she was acting. I told her that I knew she was busy so I didn't want to stop her if the urn was full, but just needed to be moved. She didn't say anything except for my total. She refused to put my purchases in a bag. Then when I walked away, she muttered under her breath, "You should learn to leave ### alone". I was at the door by this point, and turned around saying, "Are you serious?" She said, "Yeah, whatever." and then continued to ring up the next person. This was the start to my work day. I will NEVER go to this store or any Citgo again until this woman loses her job. I have two jobs, one in the restaurant business, so I know people can do really annoying and unthoughtful things, but there is absolutely no reason to treat anyone, let alone a customer, like this, especially after I sincerely apologized.

Please, if she is this unhappy with her job, then take it away from her.

CITGO horrible service and insulting lungauge

Woman was using abusive vulgarities in front of children and told me to go f*** myself and get the f*** out of her store. I asked why she was speaking to me this way and she said she had no tolerance for "known it all honey crackers!"
I was absolutely appalled and would like to know what is being done about this. It happened at the citgo on 51st and Pulaski at 5:40 pm. And to add insult to injury she said go ahead and file a complaint. They aren't gonna fire me. I couldn't believe the vulgar and racial things from this womans mouth. She claimed her name was Shirley I believe. She was the only one working at the time. Keep me posted. My email is [protected]@aol.com

Be careful with fuel sold at CITGO gas stations. CITGO sells contaminated fuel. I had problems with my car on two occassions. Apparently citgo fuel has high levels of water mixed in and can damage the car.

I fueled my truck at CITGO. Ten minutes into the road, a white smoke came out of my engine. Mechanics said the fuel from CITGO had corrosive elements. It was useless complaining to CITGO. A total waste of time. A word of advice, avoid CITGO.

CITGO sold me bad fuel that killed my car. This CITGO gas station is on the Florida Turnpike before reaching Miami (from the North). CITGO refuses to compensate me. It was pretty expensive getting that engine fixed. Don't buy CITGO gas.

Three weeks ago I filled my Nissan at a CITGO in the U.S. 1 (Miami) and about five minutes after I left my car began to have problems and it stopped moving. I had to get help to tow it away from the main road, and later on at the mechanic it turned out that the gas I had just filled my car with had a huge amount of water. The CITGO gas station refused to do anything about it. I guess I won't fuel up my car at any of their stations anymore.

Me and a friend constantly use a small pickup truck in the Miami area. One day we had to move some stuff to Homestead and along the way we needed to refuel, and we did so at a CITGO gas station. After we refueled, the truck continued working fine for about half an hour. Then it began to make noises and not to respond so well, so we eventually had it checked and it turned out that the fuel we filled it with had lots of water. The CITGO personel / management in there didn't care about this when we came back there some days after, despite the fact that it costed some cash to repair our pickup truck.

Avoid CITGO gas stations if you can. Having your car filled with contaminated fuel can cause expensive damages.

My son and I went to this store to purchase fuel. I noticed immediately that prices weren't on most of the merchandise in the store and that they decide the prices when the customer gets to the counter. After giving the woman at the register money for the fuel, I awaited my change as my son began to pump the gas outside. The lady didn't set the fuel pump to...

CITGO inappropriate behavior

My daughter has been working for Citgo for over a year now. Her manager has been spoken to several times by upper management concerning texting her on her free time over trivial incidents or mistakes made on her earlier shift. Last night, my nineteen year old came home at midnight and was in bed asleep by one. At four am her phone texting started to go off! It was this idiotic manager of hers berating her over sandwiches not put in the freezer. She woke up and angry, they argued for a while. This man should be disciplined for harassment of employees after shift! Please advise.

CITGO mechanic charges young lady $35.00 to replace a bulb that young lady had bought for $5.00 from another store.

I went to this gas staion and told the mechanic that I needed to know if he can replace (1) a single license plate bulb that I had already purchased. This guy says sure just give him a few minutes and my car will be ready. I had waited for about 20 minutes, and the guy says it will be $45.00. I said, "$45.00! This is ridiculous!" "for one bulb!" "I had already bought the bulb, what did you do for $45.00?!" this mechanic starts to hush me and then he says alright $35.00. So for anyone who needs a mechanic because your car broke down, or whether it's major or minor problems, don't go here to this place. Just walk to another place further down or up the road. Next time I will walk if I have to. I will avoid paying any red cent to this company at all cost ever again. If you must go here you will get jipped out of all your money. Even their gas is higher than all the other stations in the area.

mechanics arent a non profit organization. you didnt ask the price before hand. for all you knew, it coulda costed 100$.
if you want cheap, take the 5 mintues and 5$ to do it yourself. there are reasons such as this that keep people in business.

I'm also a woman who went here for service, and true you should've asked for price before the service. While I was waiting for a state inspection which is priced by the government or state at a fixed price and i did seem to notice that people who came to get quotes were priced extremely higher than any other places i've been. So I agree. Buyers beware of this place. Unless you know someone who works here that will give you an honest rate.

CITGO broken pumps

Standing in 15-degree weather, I got authorized to pump gas -- pump handle broken, it took me fifteen minutes for two gallons to be dispensed into my tank. Ridiculous. I complained inside -- it was freezing, couldn't lock the handle to auto-pump, absurdly slow fuel rate -- and the employee laughed and said, "yeah, yeah, yeah -- we've had a problem on that pump for years!" Never again. See ya Citgo!

CITGO faulty gas nozzle valve

This evening I stopped off at a neighborhood CITGO to fill up my tank. While washing the windows, there was no automatic stop on the flow of gas when the tank filled. About $3 worth of gas spilled onto the concrete before I could shut off the flow. When I informed the attendant, he told me I must have put the nozzle in incorrectly. Period. No discussion. No apology. It was my fault. I said you could at least put a sign up for the next unsuspecting customer. He would think about it. When I went back out to the car to get my receipt, I found none. That didn't work, either. I needed to go back inside to get the receipt.

To say the least I am disappointed with his response. I understand I am not forced to bring my business back to that establishment, or any other CITGO's. I thought you would want to know about the customer service I experienced. The gas puddle by the pump is a fire hazard. The manager, Nome, refused to return my call.

This was at the Tristar CITGO 39090 N. Hwy 418, Wadsworth, Il 60083, [protected]-01 Wadsworth Plaza, Pump #3.

CITGO cloned credit card

I filled my car with gas at a CITGO station just outside of Orlando FL and since I had no cash I paid with my credit card. I found out a couple of days later that my credit card was cloned as someone else was making unauthorized purchases with it. I had to cancel my credit card and have a new one reissued. A total pain.

CITGO bad fuel

At the end of August 2009, I was driving my Honda on Oklahoma and went to a CITGO gas station to replenish my car's fuel. The next day, I had trouble turning on the car. After having to tow it to the Honda car service for having it checked / fixed by the mechanics in there, it turned out that most of the gasoline I got from CITGO had high amounts of water and that is what caused all the trouble. CITGO provides bad fuel so beware of it.

CITGO irresponsible staff

Some days ago I fueled at a CITGO station. When I came to pay, there was nobody available at the cashier. Then some woman reluctantly came and I gave her a $20 bill, but I meant to pay $6. She then began saying she could not give me back the other $14 and we had kind of an argument in there for some five minutes. I finally grabbed my money and went to fuel elsewhere. CITGO offers bad service.

CITGO contaminated gas

Purhcased gas for new Chevy, drove short distance and car totally died. Had it towed to dealer, found out contaminated gas caused the problem. NOT covered by insurance so went back and attempted to discuss the issue (with my receipt) with the person in the station whom I had seen before so either Manger or owner. He was hostile and aggressive, verbally abusive but did give me the insurance company name that insurs his station. Bottom line I am out $1112.00 dollars and rental car fees. CITGO insurer, Farm Bureau Insurance, is playing hardball claiming error on my part even though I have purchased gas in the past. Friend at SUNOCO claims that certain gas station owners have long histories of not filtering the gas at the pump and problems with underground storage tanks and using additives to stretch the amount of gas in the underground tank. Small claims court is next. DO NOT purchase gas at this station. Use stations ran and operated by US born citizens ONLY. Thank you.

Today 7/11/12, Time 12:15pm; I decided to go to a new citgo location. I made a cash transaction of $7.00, I took 6 singles dollars bills and 1 dollar in change. I counted the money in front of the cashier. he didn't offer a receipt and being I that I was In a rush I left and ran straight to the pump. it took a while before the pump started pumping gas. while pumping gas I notice the gas started to slow down a little early, and stop at $5.70. So, I walk back inside the store to let the cashier know of the mistake and he started telling me I only gas him $5.70 when I find it crazy that I counted the money right in front of him. he denied I gave him $7.00 while looking over to another guy who was also working with him. now this may not seem like its a big deal, but times are hard and It was my last. I don't like dishonest people especially those who are working in customers service. beware of this locations if paying in cash. please do ask for a receipts. I will be calling to speak with a manager later.
