“I want to give the Staff and Director Manager Kara of the Maverik in Bethany, MO a shout out! During an end of the day trip from Lawrence, KS to Des Moines, IA, I had begun nodding off so got off the highway and took a small nap in the parking lot of their Maverik. After regaining some energy I went inside, freshened up and was going to buy some snacks. The woman working the store at the time was eager to check out my items but I elected to use the self check out instead. This is the moment I must of sat my wallet on the counter and ended up leaving it behind. The next morning literally minutes after I had just noticed that I did not have my wallet, I receive a message on Facebook from Director Manager Kara letting me know they had my wallet!! I think it was really awesome of her to take the time to use all resources available to make sure I got my wallet back!! Thank you for going above and beyond!! I make the drive back to retrieve my wallet which was safely enclosed in an envelope. I was honestly surprised to find I still had my cash in the wallet!! Thank you Maverik for being a business of Integrity and for having great customer service! I wish you all the most success!! 🙌”

“I was there for gas only gas prices at this particular one was 12 cents cheaper than the one I normally go to I wish the one in Albany mo would get in line with the ones in Bethany mo”

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.
