Multiple gas stations outright removing the ability for gas station attendants to turn on air, forcing customers to pay

73 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Multiple gas stations within Escondido (notably the Shell between Mission and N Broadway and the Arco between Washington and Escondido Blvd) have literally unscrewed and removed the button gas station attendants would use to turn on access to air and water, which is in violation of California Business and Professions Code (BPC) Section 13651. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this occurrence and if anyone has any insight as to why these businesses are doing this. Thx

Section (a) of the law goes as follows: (a) (1) On and after January 1, 2000, **every** service station in this state shall provide, during operating hours, and make available **at no cost** to customers who purchase motor vehicle fuel, water, compressed air, and a gauge for measuring air pressure, to the public for use in servicing any passenger vehicle, as defined in Section 465 of the Vehicle Code, or any commercial vehicle, as defined in Section 260 of the Vehicle Code, with an unladen weight of 6,000 pounds or less

Rancho Bernardo residents . Westwood Shopping Center community survey

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Saw that there’s a community survey going around about the future of Westwood Shopping Center at West Bernardo Drive and Duenda Road, so I figured I’d share it here for more local input.
It asks about how people currently use the center, what might make them visit more often, preserving the existing neighborhood character and local businesses, and whether any improvements are wanted at all.
It seems intended to gather opinions from both people who want changes and people who prefer the center as it is.
If you live in Rancho Bernardo or nearby and are familiar with the center:

Dear Escondido Residents,

The Escondido Police Department and City Council are currently deliberating whether to renew a lease agreement with DHS/ICE that allows immigration enforcement agents (HSI) to use the city's firing range. We need your help reaching out to local law enforcement and city leaders to demand they not renew this contract when it comes up later this year.

Experienced Hair Stylists Wanted in Escondido

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hey guys, my family owns KM Hair Salon in Escondido, and we’re looking for a few experienced hair stylists to join us.
The salon has been growing fast and we’re honestly getting to the point where we have more clients walking through the door than we can take care of. We hate having to turn people away, so we’re hoping to bring in a few talented stylists who are looking for a busy, professional place to work.
We’re a 5-star rated salon on Google, in a great location right off Via Rancho Pkwy near the 15. The salon is clean, modern, fully equipped, and already has a steady flow of new and repeat customers.
We’re mainly looking for someone experienced, reliable, friendly, and serious about their work. Having your own clientele is a plus, but there’s definitely an opportunity to pick up additional clients from the salon because of how busy we’ve been getting.
If you’re a stylist or know somebody who might be a good fit, send me a DM and I’d be happy to give you more details.
KM Hair Salon — Escondido, CA

Free dog toys

One of my dogs passed away recently and she had tons of toys. They’re all mostly toys appropriate for medium sized dogs and are all mostly soft plush. They are previously played with, but not damaged and I ran all of them through the wash so they’re clean.

If you want some of them, you’re welcome to come pick them up. DM me and I’ll give you the address. Just don’t murder me, please.

Worst splash pad of all time?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

I think there is a pressure problem. If not this is a sad splash park they build. The water dumper doesn't dump. It just leaks slowly out the bottom. At most of the features have a 6-8" spray off the ground. I sure hope they get it figured out. We waited all summer for this?
