Everyone Seems Like They're Totally Cool with Being at the Gas Station

Best review of a gas station EVAR! This review by Brittany was spotted on Yelp and is about Hatoff's in JP:
Holy s**t. This is the most awesomely f**ked up gas station ever.
They only take cash, and you have to push it under a bulletproof-glass window counter. There are about a million pumps, and I haven't seen cheaper gas in greater Boston anywhere. There are weird slogans painted on the carport area like "GAS IS GAS." They also might be a check-cashing place and/or a place where you can play Keno and/or other lottery games, but I can't decide how updated those signs are. Hatoff's has a constant influx of people listening to loud Caribbean music, and everyone seems like they're totally cool with being at the gas station. I f-ing was! I have never been happier supporting the oil industry in my horrid car than I was at Hatoff's. Hat's off to YOU, Stan Hatoff!

One caveat
I believe that gas is gas. I love Hatoffs. But if you have an older foreign car, heed my warning: DON'T DO IT.
As soon as I moved to JP with my gas gauge in the red, I drove straignt to Hatoffs and filled my 82 Volvo wagon up to the brim with Hatoff's best. My Volvo, the old dear, just couldn't digest the gas. My car became a bucking bronco. After almost jumping off the J-way and Storrow Drive a few times, I had to only use back roads for a l-o-n-g time till all the burpy gas was gone. People with newer cars don't have this problem, though.
I agree
Hatoff's is weird as heck. There is even a little guy in the Hatoff's logo who looks like a refugee from a Monopoly board.
