Jacob Brix

Jacob Brix (1/5 stars, 10 months ago): Their business model is about their employees being able to get home on time and so when you show up there 30 minutes before they’re closing if they feel that they’re not gonna be able to get home on time they will send you away… So don’t believe that they actually close at 4:15. There are other options in Reno since they’re not really that hungry for business

Jane Salvador (1/5 stars, 2 months ago): They close at 430 I got there at 4:05 they refuse to check me and said they were closed after driving 30 mi to recycle enough to get gas to go to work I ran out of gas right out of their parking lot I would not recommend going there I would go somewhere else
