“They need arrows for how the vehicles should enter the pumps...when cars pull around between the building and the pumps, there's no room for awaiting vehicles”
“Vapes are cheap here. They carry Ruf Puffs that last me a week for $17.99..7500 puffs and they are great that's all I use now...and their breeze pros are $9.99! The guys there are very nice always treat me like I'm family!”
“Had a car issue and had to leave my vehicle parked there overnight and they were extremely nice about it, no issues. You can always tell peoples character when you need help and they have no financial incentive to do it. I should have gotten her name but the woman working was so nice.”
“I’ve never seen a slow or broken pump and I’ve been coming here for a decade. With points you can get gas for as cheap or a bit cheaper than Sam’s Club. Small convenience store but the attendants are always friendly. Clean safe location too.”
“The workers here are fantastic!!! They allow the Macomb gang to use their parking lot for all their needs. Many drug deals and illegal activities happen here I think it's a greaT way for 7 11 to give back to the community!!! And it's a safe and happy environment because the Macomb country sheriff is on stand by great place to take your kids !!!”
“Just in, out, no BS, never long lines, extremely courteous on everyway, Everytime. Just professional, clean, and appreciate the extras in store. Hella selection.”

“This is the gas station nearest my home, so I generally frequent there. One of the rare gas stations I've seen that actually decorates for the holidays on occasion. Gas here is always a little more expensive than it is at the Kroger right next door but I'll choose to go here if I am also in need of a snack!”
“I ended up stopping inside the Marathon Gas Station at 11:30-11:45 AM for a fountain Dr Pepper drink (while my Dad got gas). The fountain machine worked very well and the staff was nice :). I will visit this location again.”

“Good clean gas station. Prices are always a little higher but it's right off hall so that's understandable. Great No touch car wash. That really cleans the car well. Reasonably priced.”

“A 7-Eleven with a gas station, this is a great stop. They have a good variety of slurpee selections and the employees have been good. Haven't gotten much else here, would recommend!”
“I didn't know they were filming the new FAST and furious movie at this location with the amount of cars and teens at this location just hanging out and doing burnouts and being annoying”
“Yesterday (3 Jun 22), stopped to gas up my motorcycle. Never got gas at this place before. Gas pump read $27.00 for Supreme ar $5.69 a gallon. No problem. Got home to see notification of credit card pending $125.00!! Can't dispute it because I didn't go in to get a receipt, since pump didn't print one. My fault for not getting receipt. Tried calling 7-11 to get yesterday's receipts. No answer. I guess I blessed someone with $98.00 worth of gas! Enjoy!UPDATE: Owner of 7-11 emailed me about my issue. She explained that some companies place a "hold" amount on credit cards while the actual purchase amount is pending. Instant relief there. Then, she told me to call her cell phone when the pending charge is complete, and if it's for more than $27.00, she'd fix the issue. Yesterday, I received an account update that my credit card was charged only $27.00. So, 5-stars (instead of the 1-star i gave previously on 3 Jun) for the owner's immediate response and for taking a personal interest in wanting to help me fix the issue. Now, THAT'S customer service!”

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.
