“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stopped here for gas and left with three unanswered questions, a hot dog that fought back, and a new understanding of mortality. The parking lot felt like a side quest you accidentally triggered at 2:47 a.m. One pump was crying (emotionally), another one spoke only Spanish even though the buttons were in hieroglyphics, and Pump #4 kept asking me if I was “ready.” Ready for WHAT, David?? Inside, the lights were so bright I aged six years instantly. The cashier—who I’m convinced has worked there since the Nixon administration—rang me up without blinking and said “have a good one” before I even placed my items on the counter. Advanced customer service. Psychic. Dangerous. The hot food section deserves a Pulitzer. The roller grill items looked like they’d been spinning since the Cold War, yet somehow tasted…comforting? The taquitos whispered “don’t ask questions” and honestly, I respected the boundary. The bathroom key was attached to an object that may have once been a lacrosse stick. The bathroom itself smelled like regret and blue cleaner, which I assume is the official gas station cologne. The mirror showed me things about myself I wasn’t ready to confront. I bought a energy drink called something like “THUNDER RAGE PUNCH XTREME: BERRY” with a wolf on it wearing night vision goggles. Drank it. Saw sounds. Heard colors. Forgave my enemies. Would I come back? Absolutely. Did I leave a piece of my soul there? Possibly. Do they sell windshield washer fluid, bait, phone chargers, and vibes? Unquestionably. This place isn’t a gas station. It’s a portal.”

“I love getting my gas here because of their rewards, and they are partbof upside rewards. They have great pizza. The problem with this gas station is that most of the time there are issues with some of the pumps don't work, out of paper or something, so spaces where you can get gas is limited. Since it is an older store it isn't as large as the newer Casey's but they make good use of their space.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees.

"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.
