“I love The Depot but there is some things that suck like I always love slushees and almost 100% of Depot's don't have slushees but I give The Depot a 4 star rating”
“So I would love to start this google review saying, this is my favorite gas station in the area. I love almost everyone depending on when I go throughout the day, and I plan my stops on here on who is working. MJ is great, though sometimes she has an attuide of what other shifts are doing and how they do not anything. Bre, when I see her as sometimes she is coming from the cooler or doing trash or bathrooms, is funny, playful and has great customer service. Both MJ and Bre change their customer service voice on the person, it's funny. When the older woman is in the kitchen, I think her name is Roxy, the food is FIRE. I do not reccomend on getting food from here when Dawn is in the kitchen. She does not seem clean. Today, she was wearing her apron from the kitchen when leaving the kitchen. Saturday, I heard her curse at the manager on duty because there cooler went down, and the lady in the black hoodie asked her a few times why she was just transferring the food instead of temping it. Does she not know food safety? Does she not care about giving people food posioning?? She does not look like she is wearing socks with her shoes. I have even left the bathroom once at the same time as her and she was wearing her apron. This gives me so much worry about going to this place. I have reached out to the health department, I do not trust food from this place. I love Roxy's food but do not feel like I can support it. I have gotten food poisoning from her before, I swear, it is a reason I do not get food when I see her in the kitchen. The lady with the red hair on the weekends is a little rude. The lady in the blue shirt with no belt, makes me uneasy as I can see what type of underwear she is wearing. I reccomend the morning shift during the week, they are rockstars.”
“I stoped July 14th 2020 grabbed 2 slices of pizza about 4;30pm (I eat Casey's pizza from different locations A LOT) this BY FAR THE BEST Casey's pizza I had ever had! Casey's, whoever that employee was GIVE THEM A RAISE! and please send them to your other stores and teach them how to make a pizza! I could actually pick it up and eat it unlike the others that literally are like trying to pick up a soggy slice of bread! This was cooked to perfection! THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING PIZZA WHOEVER YOU WERE THAT MADE IT!”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps.

Love'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.
