Shell being charged for 1. gallon of gas and receiving.9 in every gallon

While filling up a container I saw that I did not get the full gallon of gas that I was being charged for I went inside and told the women behind the counter saying that I just wanted to inform her because I think she could get in trouble for that and she told me that was normal. Am I missing something ? Is this Normal ? I rarely use this station because a while back I paid for a car wash only to find out it wasn't working I went in asked to be refunded the money and the women behind the counter told me to use it at a later date when the machine was in working order at the time I lived in Los Angels and told her that wouldn't work for me because I didn't know when I would be back and she still refused to give me my money. I'm only telling you that part of the story because your website flashed a sign saying my complaint wasn't long enough but it is the reason I rarely go to that station

Shell damage caused to car at shell in davie fl

Absolutely horrible company! My Truck was damaged going through the car wash at a shell gas station in FL over 1 Month ago. I've called the shell 1-800#, emailed shell and filed a report immediately after it happened inside the shell gas station and the owner of the gas station has come up with numerous reasons/lies as to why he is not responsible for the damages that were caused to our truck. I've never experienced such horrible service from such a large company in my life! Our truck was just sitting in the cash was and the roller dropped onto the top of the truck and damaged it mid car wash! It was all recorded on the surveillance camera also! Not to mention the owner refused to give us his insurance information so I could file a claim with their insurance to get our truck fixed (which is ILLEGAL) per FL statue you must give your insurance information to file a proper claim. I have found an attorney to handle this matter . I am disgusted with the way shell has handled this and would be nice for such a large company to handle this in the proper manner that it should be handled!

Unfortunately I am experiencing the same problem with a Shell Station here in Ontario, California on 4th street. I paid for an express care wash on December 15, 2017 and the car wash damaged my car 2015 Kia Optima somehow the entire strip of chrome over my back passengers door was ripped of and I called the station when I returned home and saw the damage. I got no answer, I called the next morning and was told by the cashier that she would let the owner know what happened and that I could expect to get a call from the owner around 2:00pm that day which was Saturday December 16, 2017. After I did not receive a call I called the entire day and night no one answered the phone . The next day I call throughout the day and got no answer until around 8:00pm on Sunday night December 17, 2017 and I was told that I needed to talk to the cashier that I originally spoke with. On Monday December 18, 2017 I stop by the station and had a face to face with the cashier and she told me that she had not had a chance to view the camera but to give her a few more days and she will view the camera and have the owner call me. This Cashier has given me one excuse after another every time that I speak to her. Today she had the nerve to tell me that the owner told her to tell me to use my insurance or I can fis it myself and he will reimburse me the cost. I told her that I am not willing to do that and looks like I will be suing the owner of that station.

Shell I am complaining about the service that I generally get from sarper istanbul turkey station

I am working for Microsoft. We have a special agreement with shell, which means I have to buy gas from shell.
Each time I stop by Sarper Gas Station in Istanbul, I am having problem with the attitude of its employees. I started to hate shell company. I heard too many stories of this gas station in particular, even these stories were published in news papers. You should control these gas stations that are licensed.

Shell horrible customer service by lelia on [protected] @ 7:38am

I was at the Shell in 2510 E. Foothill Blvd La Verne CA 91750 this morning @7:38AM on [protected]. I used my ATM and fueled up and purchased a car wash - works wash in the amount of $9.99. I completed fueling and them moved over to the car wash and it didn't work...one car before me get kept driving back and forth so...then she drove off... I then started the car and nothing... It didn't work. I then decided to go inside and inform the service clerk/Leila that the car was not working properly. She then responded extremely rude read the instructions/follow the instructions! I then said I have….. I don't think its working. She then started to say the same thing over over READ the Instructions follow the instructions- I then said excuse me I know how to read and follow instructions. I don’t think my code is working. I could not believe how rude she was and unprofessional I will no longer visit that shell gas station with service like that you will not receive any satisfied customers. It's not difficult just to be friendly but she was extremely rude... oh...and as I tried the car was again now it said that my code was not valid. I decided to just drive to work and email the cooperate office. I was extremely disappointed I run a summer program with Western University of Health Sciences and the Pitzer Colleges and I was planning on taking our University Vans –to be fueled and for the entire week of July 10th -14th 2017 but…..truly after this experience, I’m not so sure.

Shell unethical behavior / discrimination

Date of the incident was Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 6:40 am. I had three stacks of lottery tickets to run. The store manager said that I had to many numbers to run. He said "You need to leave my store." I said for what? I am paying by cash what's the problem? He just kept insisting that I need to leave his store. I was able to purchase two stacks of numbers and I had one more to run and he put me out of the store. So I went out onto the parking lot and he came out after me and said that I needed to leave the lot. At this point and time I was running late for work so I left. I also called 911 but by the time they got there I had to leave so I wouldn't be late for work. One of my co-workers has had issues there as well. This leads me to believe that the store manager has a discrimination issue.

Shell treatment at a shell in franklin, ma

Today, Monday, June 5th I stopped at the Shell in Franklin, MA to fill my tank. The address is 412 W Central St, Franklin, MA 02038. As I walked in to hand the girl behind the counter my cash I said in a very friendly manner "hi how are you today can I please put $30 on pump 6" The girl was hesitant to take my money and before even accepting the request she replied "just to let you know you cannot wear hats in here" so I simply asked why and she replied it was a security issue, in a very rude manner. Then the guy behind me walks in wearing a hat and she said nothing to him and made a friendly conversation. I am an African American young man and the man behind me was Caucasian. I don't know if race was the issue with this employee but I am disgusted at the fact that she was as rude as she was to me. I agree with it being a security issue in some cases but it was clear to me it wasn't about the hat. I usually love going to Shell but if this is who they'd like to employ I will get gas else where. I deserve to get gas anywhere like anyone else.

Shell employee

At 11pm I came to a shell gas station on Bedford Ave in Brooklyn ny tonight and entered my alt I'd # for fuel rewards n approached the booth to pay. I mentioned to the clerk about the rewards. I gave him $20 to put on my gas pump #3 clerk cancelled the order and kept motioning for me to come to the window. He then services two customers that came after me n sent me back to the pump. He mentioned to me I didn't have any rewards n I told him when promoted I had $.20 a gallon he then summoned me back to the window to enter my number in the keypad. I did so and he then sent me back to the pump n gave me $5 back. I went to the pump n was charged full price and the pump stopped at $15. After back n forth of about 10 times employee then canceled my rewards n was rude about helping me. When I asked him for a name n or an employee number he refused. While he slept, while he ignores n tried to hide I took pictures of his actions while on duty. I obtained my reciept n left the station insatiafied and upset. He should not be working w customers if he lacks customer service etiquette or professionalism

Shell high gas charge

I am a regular customer of shell and I usually fill the regular gas for my compact car. On 5/28/2017 at 21:58:37 I went to Store#[protected] and tried to fuel at pump #4. This time also as usual I pressed the regular button for fuel but the machine fueled me up with V-Nitro. I did not want it. I clearly remember pushing regular. I am very disappointed. I even had a $0.25 fuel discount which I intended to use towards the regular fuel but it charged me more instead. I had to pay$12-$15 more than my usual expense that day and Im very disappointed. I want my money back.

Shell gas station

I went into the store to buy something around 9 last night. After i walked in, the 2 female employees say "We're closed!" Not, we're sorry, or my apologies. So I proceeded to say, "Well you could have told me that before I walked in the door." The younger girl, (possible trainee), yells at me, WE DID!
As a paying customer, I will tell you I do not appreciate this little girl's attitude, nor will I ever be back to a Shell store again. You can thank the rude little girl with a big attitude. By the way, I told them they should probably LOCK the DOOR if they are closed, while they're sitting there counting money on the counter.

Shell kudos to jenna

On Monday, May 29th I was trying to my car running on empty to the Shell Station in Amherstburg, On but it stalled on a country road. I was unable to reach any one at home or friends. I contacted the local police because my car was still partly on the road and I feared I would possibly cause an accident. The dispatcher told me to just call a towing company and that it was not a police matter. As a last resort I called Shell Gas Station / Mac's Milk in Amherstburg, Ontario. Jenna, the only person working at the time, offered to call her Mom to assist me in my now dire situation. Please give her acknowledgement of going above and beyond her assigned duties.
Thank you.

Very uncomfortable atmosphere. They need to train their employees better

Shell customer service and gasoline service

I stopped at shell / Jackson's gas station at 3:26:36 am on my way home from my second job, I had two vehicles I was paying for mine And a friend's ...I had a hundred dollars bill I ask the tenant to pump twenty on pump two putting five in his gas can and to fill pump one I have a Ford focus which was already at a half tank prior to stopping there ...when my car stopped at $20 I thought I hope he didn't get this backwards so I go inside to get my change wondering why it's taking so long I asked the tenant "darick" if he mixed tem up he claimed no he didn't then proceeds to tell me the #2 pump is at $45 dollars ...finally he took his time to stop it ...he handed me back $14 change from $100 bill...didn't say sorry or even except it was his mistake at all didn't even care totally didn't even except the fact that it was his mistake not mine ... Although I am pretty poor I had no argument at how my own money was being spent, he cared less that I now had not only paid $$25 extra dollars for someone's gas not even mine but he even put the $5 in a gas can separately as well so now I've just put pretty much half of that $100 onto a truck that he made that mistake doing...the least I feel he should be doing is paying for his mistake not me...and to top it all off he gave me a receipt in which says I only paid out of $80 no no no a hundred. Dollar bill so I'm just a little more them UNSATISFIED TO SAY the LEAST

Shell cashier joseph

First, I would like to start with a little about me. My name is Raymond Nevarez, I'm an assistant manager for Dominos Pizza, San Marcos, CA, 92069. I recently visited the shell station near my work at the intersection of San Marcos boulevard and grand avenue to simply put seven dollars cash of fuel on pump number one, easy enough right? Wrong. Your employee Joseph apparently Mis-Heard me and though I said "seven dollars on pump seven". I went out to my pump to find that I couldn't pump fuel so I replaced the nozzle went back into the store to see what was wrong, I went back in and told him that the pump wasn't letting me pump gas, he then at his point informed me that he had put my money on pump number seven, so I ask if he can please put my money on pump one because I never asked for it to be on seven. Instead of just doing what I asked he then proceeded to argue with me about what he heard me say as opposed to what I actually said, and looked out the window to see that someone was pumping my gas and then tells me that my money is gone and there is nothing he can do for me. I work hard for my money, and I felt like he might have been under the influence, I don't know what kind of people you are hiring at shell gas stations but you can bet you have forever lost this customer after the joke of customer service and the face of the company I witnessed today.
