“I've gone for years. I loved Chris as one of the only people I saw regularly as I have no friends, and I am grateful for Jeff. I feel like I'm not alone when he is on shift and I think he's probably one of the angels my mother always talked about on Earth. I know that sounds nuts but I mean it. Thank you for existing. I like the owner too, he has a nice family and I love that he works so hard to make it nice and stocked and clean and will even do it himself if needed. Gas stations are the centers of their given community, and brother, I feel loved. Thank you for all the times you've asked me if I'm okay, had conversations with me on your smoke breaks, and just being there even though I know it's your job.”

“Nice guy working there told us that the air is free if you just ask him to turn it on. Too bad we had already wasted $7.50 on this crappy machine that says it’s $2.50 for 5 minutes but only goes for 4 minutes with pretty lame pressure…maybe a sign at the air pump would be good for future oblivious customers :)”

“Stopped at the Chevron on N China Lake Blvd in Ridgecrest and had genuinely exceptional service from Ryan and Sandy. Both of them had amazing attitudes right from the start — friendly, upbeat, and actually happy to help. I asked about wings they had for sale and I even asked if they can make them cook to order and they did with no hesitation! What really impressed me was their attention to customer satisfaction. They treated me like a regular even though I was just passing through. No rushing, no generic “have a nice day” — they actually cared that I was taken care of. You don’t see that level of customer service at gas stations very often. Chevron Ridgecrest is lucky to have Ryan and Sandy on the team. They turned a quick gas stop into a great experience. I’ll be going out of my way to stop here again because of them. Give these guys a raise!”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
