20 November 2020 I was in this area running errands and decided to stop by the MCX with the intent to get gas and check for a barber shop. As I pulled up to the checkpoint the sentry on duty came out to check identification card (military ID is required for entry). I asked him if there was a barber shop inside the minimart. He informed me there is not. I still proceeded with the intent to get gas but as in pulled up, I noticed that regular unleaded gas is $2.45 (it is .10c less at other locations). There a 4 gas pumps so I don't imagine it gets really busy. I opted not to get gas afterall but decided to go inside to check out the items inside. Walking up I noticed a chicken just hanging out on the gas pump (free range chicken anyone? LOL). Inside there is a hand sanitizer and employees are all wearing masks. There is also a sign that states they price match other NEX locations so I asked if they could check the gas prices, which they did. The employee stated that they just changed the price at other locations. Edit to add: at the other NEX location, gas was indeed $2.45. I continued browsing but did not purchase anything because the prices seems much higher than other military locations.
