Spoke with the store manager Pebbles - she came across as rather rude and ignorant. We saw this as a location for charging on plug share. The LOOP chargers have yet to be properly installed and we were in an SOS situation after getting lost in the mountains. I planned on spending over $100.00 in snacks and products to pass the time as we could get the charge necessary to make it to the next charge station. The total cost of the electricity would have been less than $1.00. After Pebbles yelled, screamed and had a fit though the entire store about the charging situation, which originally appeared permissible as shown on PlugShare.
My husband continued to speak with her. She stated that the electric cost was over budget and that corporate would not approve (who is receiving the tax deduction for providing wall outlets). My husband offered to compensate the store for over the $1.00 of charge we would consume. He also reaffirmed the emergency situation we were in and that they were listed on PlugShare as an emergency location.
I went to the car to unplug it. I had the wallet so my husband came back to the vehicle - after informing her about the issue and the emergency situation. I told him that we would no longer be patrons of dollar general/family dollar. The shell gas could supply us with the snacks we needed and wanted at a better price and without the headache of manager Pebbles.

Convenient location if you forgot something and you're headed up into the National Forest. For those of us that live in Pecos, it helps avoid a trip into Santa Fe. My only real complaint is that the store is too small for the amount of...

This is the stop for your camping needs, the store was well stocked and I found want I needed. Felt bad though seemed like she was the only person in the store and it got busy real fast when...
