“I am so grateful to Britney and Austin at this gas station!! I desperately needed a little cheese to place my dog's anxiety medication into. Britney was busy working in an area near where I was looking for the cheese. I asked her if she had cheese and she showed me some pepper jack cheese. When I told her it was for my dog for his medicine, she told me to wait just a moment. She thought she'd noticed some cheese that had not yet been brought out in the store. She came back out with Babybel cheese which was perfect!! The pill easily went into that soft food and was enjoyed by the dog as well. My husband and I are now traveling down the road and the dog is completely calm and not anxious anymore thanks to Britney. Austin was a kind support in the situation as well. The price was amazing too! Being far from home and having these two thoughtful, kind employees take the time to help us with our dog meant a lot to us. We won't forget their acts of kindness.”
