“Occasionally I will zip down Route 20 in an attempt to avoid traffic between Sturbridge & Auburn on the Mass Pike, and this is a great place to stop for gas, snacks, restrooms and McDonald's (if you can't get enough of the Twinkies and other delights inside). The gas is part of Mobil rewards, and the pumps don't have the annoying ads which are loud enough to wake someone 1 second from death; there are ads playing on the pumps, but no sound whatsoever. Right turn only when exiting on Route 20 (right is Eastbound) so if you need to go west, just go out the other exit and turn at the light so as not to annoy the nice driver behind you!”

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.
