Valero Corner Store at 72360 Ramon Road, Thousand Palms, California.

Stopped here on my way home to fill up and was pleasantly surprised by the service at, of all places, a gas station. I initially stopped here because it was cheaper than the other stations near by. I filled up and went inside for something to drink for the balance of my drive home. The inside was really clean and the bathroom was NOT a typical gas station bathroom. It too was very clean. The guy behind the counter, Chad I think, was really nice. We talked for a good few minutes about mostly nothing before I headed back to my car. It was nice and strange to have an above average experience with a gas station.

So close to the Agua Caliente Casino! Valero is the only gas station that carries diesel in the proximity. The bathrooms were immaculate and cleaning log is posted for everyone to see. Snacks and drinks were really inexpensive. The staff was extremely friendly and smiled. Prices seemed more competitive than the bigger chain stations. It one of these gas stations where you feel like a person and not just a customer. Regardless if I won or lost money at the casino, I always feel like a real winner at this gas station. Also, the beer is cheaper (and colder). Just sayin.....
