Berlin Turnpike has not historically been known for healthy, clean lifestyle choices.

Yeah, but where else are you gonna get a hooker, drugs, and an award for eating two 2-foot loaded chili dogs on a bed of curly fries?

Hold up, lets go back to the chili dogs.

Where they at?

Thank you - I have a few days left of vacation and now I know just how to ruin them.

Doogies is great. Fantastic steak and cheese also.

By which you mean -- fantastic steak and cheese. Hot dogs are fine, but nothing special.

Cash only. Delicious dogs.

I don't think Doogies is cash only... I've definitely used my card there before

They use to be cash only. I can't remember the last time I went it was a long time ago.

Where would one go about enjoying these offerings in Berlin?? For research purposes of course. Thanks

Here's a sneak peek of /r/sugarfree using the top posts of the year!

#1: Things I’ve never heard anyone mention when quitting sugar that happened to me
#2: I’m starting to see sugar the way I see alcohol or weed. “Eh.” 😒 It’s good for a minute and then it ruins your day.
#3: I don’t know how but vinegar stops my sugar cravings dead in their tracks

There’s a deli in Fairfield County that has a disgusting fridge as well, always a line outside to buy their food. Just my experience, disgusting fridge probably means you have a disgusting kitchen

bagel0_ t1_j256tv8 wrote

Friendly reminder! Citgo doesn't own or operate a single gas station (at least in the US). That store and the chain is Atlantis Fresh Market/Atlantis Management Group based out of Berlin and Mount Vernon, NY. I'd take it up with them before wasting your time with Citgo for something they're not even remotely responsible for.

Source: I used to perform regular gas station maintenance at those sites lol

bunkerbash t1_j25pp65 wrote

They are an abhorrent company. I literally had to call the police who had to call the fire dept and health inspector to rescue three elderly and vulnerable women from a property they were renting to them. They’re incredibly unscrupulous, and every single town should be fighting to keep them out.

OneHedgefundAtaTime t1_j25re3k wrote

Witness to this story. It is 100% true. Atlantis bought the foodbags and cuts corners to save money for their bigwigs. Our town fought them for 2 years as they tried to flip zoning from residential to commercial to install a 5,000 square ft gas station in NEIGHBORHOOD. They HAVE no scruples and as they infiltrate CT, they will bring their habits of shabby standards to everywhere they exist. They own over 650 gas stations in New England and are run by CROOKS.

dtgeorge12 t1_j24dw5m wrote

Send that into the Berlin Public Health division.

krispzz t1_j24bxen wrote

they used to have the best gas price tho

ArabianCamels t1_j24nsmu wrote

Still do Atleast for a public station. Citgo is typically the cheapest anywhere.

BronzedAppleFritter t1_j24w6dg wrote

Is that at the Food Bag on the Berlin Turnpike? Food Bags are always the most disgusting convenience stores. The one in Granby is especially greasy.

12

OneHedgefundAtaTime t1_j25rup8 wrote

Atlantis Marketing bought all the foodbags in CT in the past few years. They are FAR worse than any foodbag I’ve been in and I’ve been in that foodbag in granby almost a hundred times.

If you've ever been in the back of that cooler you would rinse your can before you drank it...

I never go inside but their gas is some of the cheapest in the state without needing to be a member, so I will usually go there to fill up.

Look along the edge of the top shelf— looks like mold.

It's on every shelf, some of it is black.

0cclumency t1_j24ar2y wrote

Yeah, but it’s most visible in this pic on top. Just trying to point it out for someone who’s not seeing the problem.

I would forward this to the Central Connecticut Health District (covers Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill, Wethersfield):

Is this the one that’s now owned by Atlantis?

itswhatyouwill t1_j28yf0j wrote

Yes, I actually work at an Atlantis gas station. My store is definitely not this gross but the company and "management" is incredibly corrupt/inept. The more I read this post the more I want to find a different job. ive never seen a higher turnover from people quitting b/c of how awful it is to work there. Atlantis "fresh" Market / no bueno

edit: a word or two

bunkerbash t1_j291lcn wrote

I randomly bumped into a gal who used to do marketing for the foodbag chain. She said when Atlantis took over they immediately began treating the existing employees very poorly and cutting corners wherever possible. She quit pretty soon after the take over because of the work conditions.

itswhatyouwill t1_j2b8wtu wrote

That's exactly what's been happening at my store, treating the old employees like shit and passing over them for raises. Really sucks, a lot of older employees are getting screwed over.

Brilliant_Ad_8173 t1_j28suyy wrote

Is it the prices, the sugary drinks or the dirty floor? They're all pretty disgusting tbh

Okay. That one is in Berlin. Pretty gross. I would forward that to Citgo corporate and the Berlin health department.

Citgo is merely the brand of fuel being sold, Atlantis Fresh Market/Atlantis Management Group is who'd you want to go after for anything besides the brand of fuel.

bunkerbash t1_j28s0bd wrote

And good luck getting anything done by approaching Atlantis. They’d kill their own grandmother for sport. Truly never before encountered a company who so perfectly embodies ruthless greed.

B6304T4 t1_j25cf1s wrote

The "Berlin convenience and deli" on 372's fridges don't just have mold everywhere but they have it on the drinks too. The place is a cesspool. They also have a deli that sells cold cuts and mayonnaise based salads if that makes anyone Hungry.

DarkKittien t1_j25foom wrote

If only you were inside. Worked at plenty of those locations before quitting, milk jugs, cans/bottles drop & bust open. No one cleans the floor, just pick up the broken merchandise, scan it out & go about your shift. 🤷🏻‍♀️
