Shell Gas Station On Snow Hill Rd And College Ave

I recently purchased gas at this station and I used discount points from Giant.

They short changed me $33. I complained to the store owner, Balil Khan, who pleaded ignorance. After this I went to Giant and asked them if they had previously had any problems with this store and they said there is a pattern of people being shortchanged on their gas points by this gas station. I hope you can put he word out to be cautious of this gas station or simply avoid it all together.

Thanks
Greg

I always go to Shell as soon as I leave Giant. I look at my Giant receipt and check my gas points then go to Shell. They always match ...never had a problem. I try to save them up as much as possible but Giant takes away points after 30 days. I lost 20 points from Giant just this past week.

The most I have ever saved is .80 cents a gallon.

I couldn't agree more. Very nice people that always remember me when I stop by.

For all we know Greg is trying to scam the gas station owner out of 33$. Two sides to every story.

Very confused about the term "short change" as used in this e-mail/letter.
Cash? Points? Both?
$33 is a boatload of points.

The first time we tried to use our gas points at the Snow Hill Rd. Shell, the pump wouldn't take our Giant card. My husband went inside to ask about it & another customer was in there also asking a question about how to use it. The clerk was very rude to the first guy yelling at him, so we left & will never go back there. The Shell at the North end of town didn't give us our full discount either when we tried there. So now we use the one in Eden & have had no problems.

I never go there since they cheated me on the pricing for Thursdays' specials. I didn't get any discount from them for the same gas price the days before & after their Thursday "specials". They said the "discount was included in the billed price/gallon.
Then, there's no Thursday deal.
Also when you go inside, they begin speaking in their own language, laughing & pointing which I think is very rude & discomforting.
There are enough other gas stations.

Nobody gets any gas discount. You are paying up front in overpriced food at the Giant.
