“This is my gas stop if I'm passing through in the evening. Not because of anything amazing about a gas station, but because of the young man that works second shift every time I stop there. Very positive, personable, helpful. I actually true to steal him for the restaurant business because of the college degree he said he just completed and because of his energy and attitude. He wasn't interested because of another great trait. Loyalty. Thank you for finding a great employee that residents you well and likes helping others!”

“I purchased gas and service inside was pleasant. If people who complain about a service perhaps they should be an example of good then creating another problem.”

“It feels weird leaving a Google review for a gas station. However, I experienced customer service today at this Circle K location that I have not ever received at a gas station before. Every single employee in the location greeted me, asked how I was doing and told me to have a nice day. This may sound like a small thing as I was only there to get an energy drink, but for not one, not two, but all five employees to have made some sort of personal contact with me is an amazing display of customer service. The managers name is Tracey, she goes by Trey, And she is doing a phenomenal job with her team. I live two towns over and this is the first time I’ve ever shopped at this Circle K however, if I need gas in the area, Im going to drive the extra couple minutes to come see this team because of their excellent customer service. I even asked for the district managers number Dee, and left him a voicemail. Great work!”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees.

"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.
