Spofford Irving - The Big Deal — Local services in Chesterfield

So, I am very recently a new resident of New Hampshire (in fact...the East Coast), I come from the West Coast...California to be exact, so imagine my surprise when I visited this place on my first day into this state and I am not greeted by anyone (staff person), but merely looked at like I did not belong. I used the restroom for which there was no sign to indicate there was/or was not one, my Cousin had to show me how to get to the bathroom's location. Once I was done with the restroom, I decided to purchase a snack and drink (again there is no greeting). The girl at the register had a disgusted "you're bothering me" look on her face. She rang up my items but did not speak...not even to tell me the total of my purchase! This floored me! I thought good customer service was neccessary in running any business. Especially in one that deals with the public so largely. She really just stood there once she was done ringing me up looking at me as to say "okay you can pay anytime lady". I handed her a $20 once I realized she was waiting on me. I foolishly expected a count back of my change. You know...as most cash dealing business's do, letting the customer know that the cashier correctly completed the transaction. This is what I thought protocol in business's like this WAS! Nope, not here sadly. She just handed my change to me without any words. Hell, not even a "thanks for stopping in!". I would have been somewhat good with a "here you go" for crying out loud! This is not my favorite place and unless I have to stop in again (say for gas, or something urgent), I most definitely will not be going back! The biggest shame in my opinion is that she is more than likely making others feel the same way, and the owners might not notice or plain do NOT care due to the fact that this location brings in customers (like me) passing by and needing to stop...like for most gas stations, and/or "convenient" marts. Fact is...nothing will likely be done and so goes the "new norm" in our society...

This gas station and convenience store offers a well-rounded experience with a variety of options for customers. Their drink selection is extensive, and they stock a good range of craft beer and wine. The attached pizza/deli restaurant is a standout feature, serving delicious pizza, grinders, appetizers, and more, making it a convenient stop for a quick meal. Their morning breakfast sandwiches are particularly enjoyable—fresh and a great way to start the day.

The gas prices can be a bit of a downside, especially for mid-grade and premium fuels, which are usually higher than those found in Keene/Brat. However, the regular gas prices are more comparable to other locations.

One charming aspect of this place is the morning crowd of old-timers enjoying their coffee and catching up, adding a touch of local flavor and community feel.

For tobacco enthusiasts, they have a decent selection of cigarettes and cigars.

Overall, this is a solid spot for grabbing a quick meal, picking up drinks, and fueling up, though it's worth keeping an eye on gas prices, especially for...

I really hope this place becomes more consistent with ID'ing customers before they get busted. I bought beer and cigarettes there all weekend not once got asked for my ID, and one of the times the cashier was probably no older than 14. Tonight I go there with my mom for ice cream and cigarettes and they asked for my ID, yes the one time I didn't bring it because I didn't drive there, and they won't sell them to me. I said my birthdate, and I'm 29 with grays but noooooo. So I go home get in my car drive back and a different girl cashed me out asked for my ID so I showed her and also told her they should be more consistent at that explained my weekend purchases there and how I wasn't ID'd then but was just denied with my mother and she just goes "not my problem". Well sassy girl no it isn't but it will be when your job gets a sting and you don't have a job....check yourself before, well, you know ;) and best of luck not getting busted and getting smiles outta customers for being...
