Texaco and Valero Corner Store (Vallero is formerly 'The Diamond Shamrock') Oltoft and Pleasant Valley Store # 552 2222East Oltorf Austin, TX.Both gas stations - convients stores are Oltorf and Pleasant Valley in Austin, Texas are right across the street from each other.Both would not accept Marlboro Master Card Reward Card although both were Marlbord distributors.
Both had thrown out a homeless man in wheelchair just after a few minutes as it was near freezing outside just before sunrise. After that the man called 911 and was rescued by authorities. The man was quoted as saying ''I just needed a place to warm up for five minutes I've been outside the whole time since I got evicted from my appartment a few of weeks ago.'' When it warmed up later that day the man was seen in another part of town gathering food and supplies and said he was thankful that he got breakfast, hot chocolate, and coffee from the Salvation Army after he was released and they had told him about a church where he could get a little food and some financial assistance.
Littlefield Store - Brazo's and 6th Street
This one is on the corner in the Littlefield Mall across from the Drikel Hotel (Old Pecan Street), and closest to the 6th and Brazos Capital Metro Transfer Time Point. I should make charts and graphs for this one, dear god help us. If you need something in this area it is only a short walk to the store to the East of the Stop on the same block and much more friendlier service and a wider variety of products.1. Would not accept legal tender as a payment.
2. Does not handle transactions in a timely manner, multiple instances.
3. Employees Rude and Obnoxcious to Customers.This is too bad because one of the other clerks is one of the best in Austin, I guess it is true, one bad apple spoils the whole batch.
Exxon - Convient Store/Gas Station / Riverside Drive and Pleasant Valley
This is the Exxon at Riverside Drive and Pleasant Valley in front of the HEB Grocery Store in Austin, Texas. Exploding Scripto Cigerette Lighters; enough said! I won't even mention Alaska.South Austin Music Store
This is the small music store by the Saxon Pub with the Suite of Armor out front on South Lamar in Austin, Texas.
I went in there to buy a guitar string and they did not want to swipe my card because it cost them $2 each time they used it so I dug around in my guitar case for some change, luckily I had enough... barely. Then the dude broke the string when he was tuning it up the first time. I was tring to look around to see if there was anything else there I needed. I was impressed by the ''You blow it; you buy it signs.'' but they didn't have any keyboards in the place so I went down the street to the next music store I saw and bought a guitar and a amp with some extra cords and effects they threw in for free and the place next door fixed the flat tire on my bicycle while I went in the music store for $1 and I saw they had those Livestrong Armbands there so I bought two of thoes.
Icom, Interliant, Intelicom
Anything that starts with an ''I'' for that matter iBook and iPod included, no matter, that's the way to remember it . Icom/Interliant/Ixxx owe me $100.00 and I never got it but despite multiple attemps to collect it after failier to resolve issues with their web servers and other customer service related issues after migration and aquizition from the ''next company'' it happened a few too many times to too many people.

Do not think that every business that I walk into or use on a daily basis has bad products and services and here are a few of them in which I find that have exelent products and friendly courtious service personel.
Discount Grocery - Conveinient Store
* * * * * (Five Stars) - Located on South First in Austin, Texas this quaint little store has just what you want when you need it, ask to use the red courtesy phone to call anyone in the metro area or check bus schedules, verify appointments and you can also get a breakfast tacos and coffee in the morning right next door. Both pay phones work out front and there is also a spare pay phone across the street at the another convient store with a smaller product selection but sells gasoline just in case no one around offers you the use of their cell phone in the first place. Right down the street from the S.H.A.C. and Mendelson Elementary, who needs gas anyway? When we can just coast to the gas station.Buenos Aires Cafe - Argentinean Cusine

info@buenosairescafe.comOn South First on the West Side of the Street Just South of Oltorf. Best Empanada in North America that's for damn sure, sorry Fonda San Miguel but at least you still the best Margarita in North America. The place reminds me of a small European Guesthouse, very friendly service and attention to details and special requests, a great place to bring a date for afternoon lunch or dinner.
