“Jetstream Auto Wash is a great touchless wash option in Palmetto, especially if you’re looking for a safe way to keep your vehicle clean without brushes touching the paint. I recently took my Tesla through the wash (make sure to enable Car Wash Mode first), and I noticed another Tesla there before me, so it seems to be a good choice for EV owners. The wash did a solid job overall. It didn’t remove every bug from the front of the car after a 500+ mile road trip, but honestly that’s pretty normal for any touchless wash. If you’re washing every week or two, it does an excellent job as a maintenance wash. Another nice feature is that they also have two self-service bays if you’d rather do more of the work yourself. You can use their soap and equipment and follow up with a hand wash right there if you want a more detailed clean. They also offer vacuums and microfiber cloths for customers, although I didn’t personally use those during my visit. Overall, it’s a clean, convenient setup and a touchless wash option in the area. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Clean and new. A little difficult to get into if you are coming from the north. I deducted 1 star because of dual- pricing. One of my peeves with gas stations. Because of the pricing, difficulty getting in & out, I won't be using this facility in the future.”

“This 5 star review is a praise for the employees Q ,Janet , and tami. They deserve the highest praise for their customer service and hard work. Especially today when having to deal with multiple problems with gas pumps, inside the store and disgruntle customers. I have come to this store for years and they are the best. I wish they received the praise from management that they deserve.”

“This is usually a busy store but usually adequately staffed for it. Two self checkout registers definitely help to keep the check-out line moving. It's s near SeaPort Manatee and gets packed often. No worries. The Circle K crew is friendly, many of them have been working there several years and they get through the rush very well.”

“An AMAZING turn around for this store. New manager Angelia has done a fantastic job! Store stays stocked up. Gas pumps now give me my receipt's. The customer service has changed dramatically and the bathroom is always clean and useable now. I stopped coming here for a awhile and now it's my go to store. I'm in and out. People are friendly and attentive plus the food has improved as well. The wings are awesome! I just have to say, Thank you guys for the hard work and efforts. This location really needed it. 711 Did their best move by putting in a manager whom knows her stuff. Only a great team leader could've made such a come back. I hope everyone else gives them a chance to see the change and convenience that has been created for us. I send all of my employees there to fuel up and experience the great service. As humans we have off days but so far it's been consistent with my experiences. I never leave reviews but this come back deserves it. Great job guys. Keep it up and Thank you.”

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.
