“Okay the app for the fuep pumps is do crazy cool. You pay in your car and it activates the pump with the fuel you selected, you just insert the pump, no punching the touch screen woth bare hands in sub zero cold , sharing germs with sll who touched the buttons before you! I hate the 20 questions at the pump, it costs me too much time that I just don't have and this very innovated, customer first app holds all the answers to those problems;!;, the time it took to sign up and use the app was less than two minutes. Just put the pump in your tank. No standing in the windy or cold or hot putting in rewards number yes no for a reciept and waiting for card authorization before fueling. This spp Eliminates all the things i hate about paying at the pump and you still get a discount that's worth it, it doesn't take so many points to save five cents, i got 30 cents off for being a first time customer after that i save 30 cents plus . Definitely worth it. Oh and you get a digital receipt which makes filing them easy the first photo shows the ocon , its the red gas pump all the way on the left third row down”

“Kwik Star used to be a guarantee for fair gas station prices, but that' changed dramatically. For soda, they are the only GS whom doesn't do two-for deals with Pepsi products. And they had the raw nerve to change their king-sized candy bars from $3.29 to $3.99 - and in one day! The old $3.29 price on one item was left out as proof.. Really?!? A 70 cent mark-up for a candy bar in one day?!.. Also, to top everything off, the lady working there late night is condescending.... Come on KS! Get back to the fair-priced GS you always were.. Dang!”

“Good food, always fresh & last night I talked to Mason and Thalia for a minute and actually enjoyed myself. It wasn't fake or just being polite. They treated me like a friend not just a customer. Thats the difference between an average gas station experience and an exceptional one!”

“Super wonderful people here! We went in tonight late looking for fever reducer for our infant. They didn't have anything for under 2 years old, but the couple running the store gave us advice of what we could do naturally to help him.

One of the only remaining 24-hour establishments post-covid. I am unaware of his name, but this obese employee was always very nice and attentive. I believe he still works there as I visit still every now and again.”

“I appreciated Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh today mainly for having a working air compressor. My back tire was low on tire pressure due to the temperature being below freezing. I am spoiled by the Hy-Vee gas stations that have air compressors that tell you the tire pressure for you. I easily filled up and then went inside and spent money in the gas station. I like the grab and go breakfast options at a lot of the Hy-Vee Fast & Freshes, but I never want to forget about the convenience of their fancy air compressors.”

They have a very respectful staff, you are always greeted with a smile and it is always a pleasure to talk to them as they are very helpful.

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.
