The "new" Crown Gas Station (formerly Chevron) is still a royal mess

The Advoc8te was riding on fumes and had no choice but to pop in at the newly rebranded Crown gas station (formerly Chevron) on MLK and MalcolmX. Despite the recent exterior improvments (more lighting and new paint) nothing has changed.  I was harrassed before I even got out of my car with numerous requests to pump my gas. I declined many times yet the harassament continued - in front of a gas station employee no less. The credit card reader at pump 7 wasn't working so I had to go inside to pay for my gas (of course I wasn't offered a receipt).  The nozzle at pump 7 was also broken,  letting me pump gas for about 2 seconds at a time, so trying to pump $10 worth of gas was a futile exercise in patience. Of course, the entire time I was trying to pump my gas I had to keep fielding requests to pump it for me, for a small fee of course.

I really need to make sure I don't get low on gas again and have to use that gas station.  Gas is expensive enough as it is,  no need to add the 'drama surcharge' everytime I need some unleaded.
