Have you been to MAPCO lately?

Today I stopped at a MAPCO station because my gas light was on - and they were the closest place. When we pulled in my son asked, "Mom, what's Happy Hour?" (After 1000 things went through my mind I realized in front of me was a big pink sign - Ladies Happy Hour, M-F 3-6pm).

Before I finished reading, a lovely young lady with a pink vest over her Mapco vest, ran up and explained that it was Happy Hour for Ladies and she would be pumping my gas for me. I swiped my card and entered all the necessary info. She asked the details and I said fill-er-up with regular unleaded and she went to work.

She handed me a coupon good for a free coffee or fountain drink and invited me to go on in the store and get my drink (and feel free to shop as well). She also gave me a punch card that would net me another freebie once they were all punched. Got my drink and returned to my car to find my receipt neatly under my windshield wiper and she ran up to me and handed me a fresh orange. She informed me that they had fresh fruit and I was welcome to a freebie.

I must say - it's my new favorite place! Wondering if this was a fluke, I happened by one closer to my house and there was another worker in a pink vest pumping gas for a customer. I gotta give it to Mapco....they need to keep it up because I'm their new best friend!
