Valero Customer service

On July 17, 2022 I went into Valero gas station at 2300 gilmer rd Longview tx 75604 between 8:15 and 8:20. I received the worst customer service of my life! When I walked in the lady was leaning against the counter on her phone, I was waiting by the counter very politely trying to buy a electronic cigarette when the lady first said “what do you need” I responded with “ yes ma’am may I please get a bubble gum ice…” (I did not even get to finish my sentence) I got told I needed to speak louder because the damn store is too damn packed and she can not hear me and told me to tell her exactly where the electronic cigarette was in the case. So I spoke a little bit louder not under standing what she meant because there was only 1 other customer in the store at the time! She then said “you don’t not have to speak to me like a [censored]ing retard” then told me to get the [censored] out of the store because I tried to say I didn’t not know what she meant so I was just speaking louder and slower while also pointing to the case and where in the case the electronic cigarette was like she asked of me! I am just so beyond myself that someone could be so rude! She had no name tag refuse to tell me her name and said “it does not [censored]ing matter what my name is.” All I know is that she was wearing a red polo style shirt with her hair slicked back in a pony tail. And from the moment I walked into that store she was just so incredibly rude. Would not get off her cell phone until she was done texting. I do understand people go through things in life but to treat another human that way just broke my heart! I typically go into this store every single day at some point and I have never met such a cold hearted person. And I will not be returning in the future until that lady no longer works there.

Desired outcome: I don’t really care what y’all do! But this needed to be told! It was so disrespectful and it is going to cause y’all to lose so much business!

Valero Service

At 8.30 on Sunday July 10 l went into the Valero at US75 and Morton st. There was a customer in the store who said he had been there for 10 minutes and could not find anyone to check him out. I knocked on the employee door and there was no response. I told the other customer that hopefully they were not shot and lying in the back. I went to check the restroom and as I was going in the attendant was coming out. I told him that he had customers that had been standing waiting. He so what. I said I was going to file a complaint. He said what ever. In order to protect your employees and business. Please help this young man learn to respect others. Christopher W. Walton. [protected]. Just voicing my opinion and I contribute at least 500. Dollars a month to your business and in the event that you find it not important to provide good customer services. I shall take my business elsewhere.

Valero Charging 50 cent debit fee on cash purchases

Last night, I needed a few things and the Valero on Merced in Fowler CA is close.

I stopped going here, because I once again caught them charging this fee on cash purchase, and it happened again last night. But this time I confronted the man and explained it is FRAUD! I decided to write here before I report to BBB and police ...

To be sure this is happening, this morning I sent 2 different friends in and the same thing happened

Desired outcome: Stop stealing from your customers

Valero Shorted on gas, money was kept

your petromart location

14850 NORTH FWY

HOUSTON, TX [protected]

Today at 12-12:20 pm I went to get $37 of gas, pumped stopped at $32. She said i asked for $32. I asked for $37 on pump 2. She didn't speak much english, she was talking to someone else on the phone and just kept denying it happened. It was quite embarrassing and even worst because she was completely wrong. I asked her to check, she refused. It was a terrible and unfair experience. Robbed of $5, guess im just lucky it wasn't more.

Desired outcome: Refund, money returned

Valero Station pumps and customer satisfaction

I went to the valero on the lost mile between rehobeth beach de and dewey beach de for gas. I tried the pump pay and noticed several say pay inside. I went in and the attitude began with the blonde pale white girl. Paid my 50.00 on my debit and went to use the pump. It didnt work and the girl came out said its broken and id have to come in and change pumps. Now we all know I just got pre authorized for the 50.00 and she wants to charge 50.00 again to a new pump. I simply said at 5.15 a gallon youd think the pumps would work. The girl then proceeds to say you can go elsewhere and pushes my card back. I left and will never step foot into that horrible place. She requires some major customer service training then she needs to be in line for being fired by valero. Can we say price gouge gas station. By the way everyone around is under 5.00

Desired outcome: EMPLOYEE TO BE FIRED OR SERIOUSLY Reprimanded

Valero Gas Quality

I have been a loyal card member filling my take app. twice a month at the Valero 181 East 1st st Oswego NY and got 278 miles from the fill ups. Yesterday 5/20/2022 I filled up at Bj's Wholesale 4145 st rt 31 Clay NY and got 341 miles on the fill up thats nearly 100 miles. I think that Valero may be watering down the product and the consumers should be alerted.

Desired outcome: I should be entitled to 2.5 gallons of gas (40 miles per gallon) times 2 fill ups per month for the last 6 months at 4 dollars per gallon as a refund meaning they would be paying me approximately $125 as a credit to my Valero card.

Valero Car WAsh

I went through a car wash at YOUR Valero station on Babcock in San Antonio and it ripped off my rook rack. THEN your insurance adjuster Diana Deaton at Circle K Global Services had the gall to deny my claim saying it was an "after market" rack, even though it was a Mazda rack put on by a Mazda dealer before I bought the car. THEN never even informed me. Outrageous.

Desired outcome: PAY FOR THE DAMAGE YOU AND ONLY YOU CAUSED!!!!!!

Valero cigarettes... Why

Why is it that you guys are deciding on what the public smoke as far as the products in the store, you have stores on every corner in SA,Tx and I can't buy my menthol cigarettes. You even put your own brand in the store (Traffic) and now nobody can get a pack. Basically you guys are doing away with menthol lights and NOT replacing it, really. You have two stores within 2 block from each other. I would like to know what am I suppose to do if you guys are just serving Malboro or Kool or Winston.You stopped selling my brand which is Salem Slim Lights and offer me Misty.. Which you have went so high in price that I started smoking the Traffic lights. I'm at a cross road here...And as you know that quitting ain't easy. Can you help the public and bring in something menthol or menthol lights... Please be advised that I'm sending in this complaint not to fuss but to be advised of what to do.. Don't put a produce out there and your not gonna honor it. I don't have money to waste on other products and not familiar with its taste. Thank you for your time and I hope that I could get or see a response...

Valero No hot food 24 hours a day like they advertise at the valero in shelby ohio

The owner refuses to put money in the ATM so it's never working the only time you get hot food is at lunch time no other time of the day is there food in there other than possibly a cold sub once in awhile other than that there is no food other than normal shelf stuff and I don't want to have to drive across town to go to another gas station and everything in that store is way overpriced

Desired outcome: For an everyday customer have food on hand and the ATM work instead of being out of order all the time

Valero Repair concrete asap, before potential tire damage occurs.

The Valero at 3730 centerville highway, snellville Georgia 30039 has bad cracked concrete surface that is one foot deep sitting near the gas pumps when you enter the station. The one foot caved in surface could cause server tire damage and is hazardous around the fuel pumps. Also, from the numerous times I've purchased gasoline at this particular location, the store owner or manager allows estrange males to loiter around his store, with no just cause, and could be potential criminals looking to rob customers. Don't go there at night, the station sits alone surrounded by vacant land.

Desired outcome: Inform manager or owner to post no loitering signs at business establishment, making customers feel unsafe.

Valero unprofessional politicization

I went to get gas at the Valero station in Calico Rock, Arkansas. Someone has decorated the pumps with very durable stickers that derogatory and political in nature. I was under the impression that businesses were public spaces. The operators should know better than to leave these silly things up. I'll make every effort to fuel up somewhere else until they are removed. I'm disappointed.

Desired outcome: Just have someone take them off. Businesses should know better.

Valero Employee disrespect the elder customer. Feel the reflexing occurrring due to my race.

The station on fruit ridge in Sac, CA. Your employee, a young man, is very rude, treating, nasty. Never encountered a dilemma until the last 8 weeks at this station. I will be taking legal action against this dilemma. Keep my family not involved. Will not dismiss your actions as I feel treated and being 65 years old and disabled. This company's discrimination is very blatant in my neighborhood. Would lie communication reply

Valero Experience and overall customer service

Lonoke Arkansas Valero extremely rude and unpleasant employee. Lady with brown hair and glasses that worked Wednesday November 24th at 9am absolutely ZERO people skills. If you have that bad of an attitude you definitely don't need to be dealing with people. Come multiple times a week but definitely won't be doing that anymore. Everyone besides this one employee seems to be absolutely pleasant. Completely ridiculous!

Valero Management and other employees

Manager is rude and a [censored]. Employees that work there with the exception of 2 are the same. 95 percent of us are truck drivers that use this store. Rude sour faces are not what we are looking for when we stop in. And can't get help when needed. Two nice ladies that work there on day shift out of the bunch is the only reason we stop. And they are the only 2 made to clean. One because of race. They should be given opportunity to be management or assistant management. Not the ones being trained now. Weed smoking out back door is not impressive either. Good workers shouldn't be made to feel like they need to transfer because management and her pets treat them like [censored]. Ready to pull my 5 trucks out of fueling there and stop somewhere else. And we stop at least twice a day. We don't need to know about one lady that's married but yet her side piece shows up every day and watches her from outside like someone wants her. Get it together Valero! We hear all and see all.

Desired outcome: Manager replaced. Others that deserve it to be given opportunity to grow with company and team work from all. And happy faces glad to see customers!
