“The tire change was amazing! I came around 6:30 am this morning and had to pray for a miracle. My truck had a flat tire and barely was able to get here. Jeremy was able to get an exact same tire and replaced BEFORE the time he expected. Once again Ole knows who to have on staff.”
“This is a very convenient gas station situated on a main road. It is very large and easily accesible to go in/out. They have about 17 pumps or so which makes this gas station very convenient since there is never a line. You can pay at the pumps with credit cards or speedpass, or use cash or cards inside.”
“The people that work there are always nice to me and greet me with "Hello! How are you?" I can't stand the way that some customers talk to them. Over a simple mistake one day, one of the customers said "Maybe if I speak another language, you'll understand me...? All I could ask him was "DO you speak another language? I'm just asking because you don't seem to have good control of the English language." He turned his anger toward me, called me something other than what my mother named me and stormed out. All I could do was laugh!”
“I find this station's prices competitive and most times, lower than other major stations w/in 5 miles. While the property attracts a lot of "foot traffic, for the most part, I feel relatively safe.”
“Clean store and friendly staff, but no squeegees for cleaning windshields or option to print gas receipts. I would have contacted the store directly, but the website has no way of leaving a message”
“Upon my recent travel, I chanced upon a visit to the Sunoco at National Harbor, and it is with great pleasure that I pen this commendation. The experience, akin to the discovery of a beacon amidst the travail of journeying, was marked by a confluence of hospitality and efficiency, qualities that have become increasingly rare in our modern age. The station, akin to a well-tended homestead, was maintained with a meticulousness that spoke of pride in one's labor. The staff, with their warm greetings and courteous service, reminded me of the cherished values of our forefathers—honesty and diligence in every transaction. Here, one finds not merely a place to replenish the fuel of one's conveyance but a sanctuary for the weary traveler. The cleanliness of the premises, from the pump area to the interior comforts, rivals that of any fine establishment. The provisions offered within were as diverse as the needs of the Union itself, each item selected with care for quality and satisfaction. The pricing, fair and just, reflects an understanding that while prosperity is to be pursued, it must not come at the expense of the common man's pocket. Moreover, the conveniences provided, modern and well-appointed, serve as a testament to progress without forsaking the simplicity that our great nation was built upon. In sum, the Sunoco at National Harbor stands as a paragon of what our nation's commercial enterprises should aspire to be—service-oriented, clean, and fair. I commend this establishment to all who pass through these parts, for it is not merely a stop but a reminder of the enduring values that make our Union strong. Let this review be a beacon to others, as this station has been to me on this day.”

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.
