“I got gas and paid at the pump, so I can't attest to in store. Here's what I do know. I hate answering 50 questions when I pay at the pump. It's Iowa and it's cold out- Just give me my gas! I wish the pump could hear me, because he would just give me my gas. I'm usually rude to the pump, because I am freezing my a$$ off answering questions. Just give me gas after I pay. Please”

“I used the car wash, my favorite is the soft touch, it gets 99% of the car clean. The 1% is in a hard to reach spot I guess. I will keep going back, I love the smell of the soap, reminds me of the original scent ofJergens hand lotion.”

“I stopped by for a Diet Coke on my way home. I'm a member of Hy-Vee's perks program, so I appreciate the $1 medium sized sodas. The store was clean and well-stocked. The employees seemed to be hard workers and efficient, professional, and friendly. This is a busy location.”

“Quick trip is the best gas station. There isn't one in Madrid, only Casey's and git n go, and there's no selection compared to quick trip. I mean they had anything I could think of and I dread going to the Casey's where I live because they never have anything different or even good and at QT I got an ice cream cup for 1.99 which is 4 bucks cheaper than when I go up in Madrid. I think it's time quick trip cubes give Casey's a run out of this town so we can have somewhere we don't have to spend so much money on stuff we really don't even want. Thanks QT for being #1”

“I stopped here today for lunch. It took me a while to make up my mind, but I finally opted for the tenderloin sandwich. I particularly liked that I could get pickles as topping and could add ketchup and mustard. The employee working the grill today was very helpful. The employees today were professional, hard-working, efficient, and friendly. The store was clean, and parking was ample. I'll most likely return.”
5340 NW Beaver Dr, Johnston IA 50131
“I like the location of this Casey's and drive by it quite a lot. I like that it's never too busy for me. The cold sandwich items seem just a little better than some of the other local Casey's locations in town. I personally prefer the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Wrap from this location. The prices seem reasonable to me. Customer service is friendly and professional. The parking is spacious and store is clean. I recommend this location.”

“I want to highlight an exceptional individual named Atrill! They truly understand the essence of customer service. I've never encountered someone like them before, and I hope Kum & Go can hire more employees like Atrill.

870 NE Alice's Rd, Waukee IA 50263
“I’d like to thank the young gentleman who was in charge of making pizzas this evening. This location was clearly short-staffed (and he was flying solo after the other individual walked out). At one point, they were behind almost three hours on pizza orders, but he remained calm and handled the situation well. Kudos to him!”

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.
