Arco Gas Station
Rip Off. Fed up consumer!

Sone consumers are being ripped off Arco Gas Station on Imperial Hwy in the city of Brea. Recently I stopped for gas and gave the attendant (middle eastern man) $25.00 for pump #1. The pump stopped at $21 and when I went in he said that was all I gave him.

I know for a fact I gave him $25.00. I believe he only rang up $21.00 and pocketed the $4.00 difference (nice hourly wage) The ridiculous thing about it is I would have only put $20.00 in the tank instead of $21.00 (odd number).

In speaking to other Arco customers I have found that with gas prices up this is becoming a common practice but in speaking to others it happens alot at Arco stations. We as consumers can protect ourselves by using a credit card or asking for a receipt. But what about the poor person or college student that does not have much and can only afford $10.00 gas cash? Does he give the guy 2 five's and get $6 worth to get him through the week? My friend gave the attendant $20.00 and got $10.00 worth.

Arguing with these people does not make a difference. I was told by other people living in the community that the Arco station (Brea) has been doing that for over 10 years. They have the lowest price of $1.87 gal but funny that it doesn't have lines out in the street. It's just another day to them of ripping off someone new.

These rip offs have to be stopped and quit taking avantage of people and their hard earned money. I was told by some that some the some business owner nationality's first priorty of the day in their business is "What can I do today to rip someone off?" These type of business owners/franchise owners need to be stopped. Next stop Arco Corporation and who knows.

Fed up consumer!
