The first address I recognized is the Shell station just down the street from my Grandfather's house. It's not a very nice neighborhood anymore (a planned freeway just to the south was canceled back in the 1980's, and all the houses that had been taken by eminent domain were auctioned off. The new tenants didn't take care of their neighborhoods like the owners used to). Some of the stations are in rather well-to-do areas. 4995 N Granite Reef Rd in Scottsdale is a Shell station too, and is pretty close to downtown Scottsdale. Lots of Circle K's - most of these stores are corporate, but a few are franchises. I usually paid cash for my gas, and I haven't been skimmed. I brought up 'skimming' at my credit union the other day, when I deposited to savings rather than checking, and the teller said it's a problem for them in the Phoenix area. Edit: Looking into it more, these aren't little Mom-And-Pop gas stations, they're mostly Circle K's (corporate) and franchises of big-name energy companies - lots of Shell and Valero franchises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valero_Energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valero_Energy - for example: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1925+N+Scottsdale+Rd,+Tempe,+AZ+85281/@33.4507211,-111.9282363,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x872b096adbaace2b:0x857f89f063f036fc!8m2!3d33.4507166!4d-111.9260476 https://www.google.com/maps/place/1925+N+Scottsdale+Rd,+Temp... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Oil_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Oil_Company - for example: https://www.google.com/maps/place/4995+N+Granite+Reef+Rd,+Scottsdale,+AZ+85251/@33.5090157,-111.9007588,19z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x872b0a5213ae16ad:0x6149ce885316ee98!2s4995+N+Granite+Reef+Rd,+Scottsdale,+AZ+85251!3b1!8m2!3d33.5089587!4d-111.9000426!3m4!1s0x872b0a5213ae16ad:0x6149ce885316ee98!8m2!3d33.5089587!4d-111.9000426 https://www.google.com/maps/place/4995+N+Granite+Reef+Rd,+Sc...
