Do they really think us guys will buy gasoline from them just because it is being pumped by chicks? What's that....cars are backed up to the street? Never mind!

At least they know how to handle a hose.

Hahahaha

go for it chicas!

Another of their sales gimmicks - we're honest

What a great marketing idea, we're honest. Perhaps another reason for long lines. Translated from their website:

"The promise of RendiChicas is very simple: to guarantee its customers a full load of gasoline every day, in all its stations, in all its pumps and with all its dispatchers. An infallible promise that the customer can see clearly in his tank when he loads gasoline. Clearly embodying its philosophy , the difference of RendiChicas is not from the mouth to the outside, here the full charge is always demonstrated at each visit."

In San Luis there is a BP that is fuel at 4 pesos less per litre than other stations.

Free enterprise! Competition makes for better service and better price.

Sorry to digress, BUT
Why is the gasoline pipeline theft on the mexico mainland so prevalent.
What dynamic is different in Baja????

And if a little cleavage is thrown in, that's just a bonus! :wow:

Just kidding, a chubby senior citizen like me has no shot with the Chicas! The only reason I will be in line is for the honest liters, and hopefully correct change.

No oil drilling, pipeline systems, production, or refining operations in Baja? Or possibly only light refining and distribution only?

Because there is a large Black market for gasoline out there. Cartel manages most of the pipeline theft.

Hmm. I gotta read that menu a little more closely next time.

May I ask where in Tijuana is the station located? I have not seen it in my travels through the city.

I like the concept of the bright gas station, regardless that it has chicks pumping the fuel...which, by-the-way, I will no longer use (except for my RZR). I am now a TESLA owner.

SFandH - 7-27-2018 at 08:14 AM

Their website says they have 27 stations in TJ. Cool that you have a Tesla!

I did not see it myself, but someone on this forum reported seeing a Nissan Leaf pulling a small trailer with a generator in it!
