“I shop Kroger anyway for food, why not collect fuel points to get the best price. They are usually the same price if not cheaper than surrounding gas stations. Use your Kroger card for extra discounts off per gallon.”

“This is my number one go to gas station! I look at these guys like my second family the atmosphere is definitely friendly polite and they have kindness! If you haven't had their soft serve ice cream I highly recommend you run and try some! I go here 3 to 4 times today just for the soft served ice cream! This is by far my favorite gas station in Amelia!”

“Seeing a lot of people who are misinformed about a couple of things so figured I'd share: 1) Walmart gift cards are NOT accepted here. This gas station is not owned by Walmart, just affiliated with it but the contract changed years ago. While certain Murphy locations do still accept them, this is not one of them. To piggy back off of another review on here, the staff absolutely knows what they're doing, which is why they will tell you they cannot process a Walmart gift card. I spoke to an employee and they literally do not have an option to manually enter ANY type of card into the register, that feature has been removed from their system. The only way to process card payments is with the card reader and it will reject a Walmart gift card if it is swiped and scanning the barcode of a digital one also will not be accepted by their system. This is not the fault of the staff, they have no say in these types of decisions, so please be kind as I have witnessed far too many people be extremely rude about something out of their control. Some employees at the Walmart are actively misinforming their customers about this matter and I have personally voiced my misgivings about this to corporate. So please understand that the staff is correct regarding this matter and accept it with grace as life is far too short to throw a tantrum at an employee who is simply doing their job. 2) If you use Chime or Cash App, please be aware that if you prepay for gas at the register and it declines the transaction, the app you are using will take the money out as it is operating under the assumption that it is a pending transaction. Murphy did not charge you as the transaction is cleared from the system as soon as it declines. I use Chime and this happened to me. Murphy cannot refund you as they did not actually receive any funds from your account. It usually clears up in 10 minutes and the funds are released back to your account. Trust me, I was annoyed when this happened but the employee on shift explained this to me so I called Chime customer support and I verified what had happened and the person I spoke to was able to get the money back in my account so I could get my gas. This is another scenario that is out of the control of the staff so I urge you to take a deep breath and listen to the employee as they are able to explain what happened and direct you to the correct avenue to have it resolved. Once again, they cannot refund you for money that Murphy did not receive, this is purely a bank issue with Chime and Cash App. All in all, I write this to simply say: it costs nothing to be kind. These situations can be frustrating but any grown adult should be able to handle these situations with grace. Take a step back and ask yourself how you would feel if someone spoke to you the way I have witnessed others speak to the staff. Better yet, to my fellow parents, how would it make you feel if your child came home and told you that a stranger disrespected and insulted them at work? Service workers are people and all people deserve basic respect and kindness. God said love thy neighbor and he certainly didn't add a stipulation that service workers are the exception. Take it from a woman who did 20+ years in the retail industry, no one is paid enough to be insulted over matters that are either out of their control or simply unimportant in the grand scheme of life. Kudos to the staff here, I appreciate all you do and I hope my review influences at least one customer to think before needlessly lashing out and approach the situation with grace.”

“I should have got his name I will next time I go in but I just want to say the gentleman that ran the cash register on 7/9 on night shift needs a raise! He was very very kind and I appreciate him! We need more people like him in life in general! He was super kind and thank you! Because my day that I had had was just one of those days! He definitely lifted my spirits and made something good happen in the day that I had had!”

“Whenever I go to this location, it’s usually busy, but Keeley always seems to make sure to give me her undivided attention and a smile. I’m constantly forgetting about using my rewards and she reminds me about my speedy rewards and is so sweet and friendly. Keep it up and thank you.”

“I have been coming to the place for years, like 12 years now. Always had good experiences in here. The employees are friendly and always recognize regulars. I do find it hard to move about in the store sometimes with all the crammed displays, but it is a smaller store so I can't fault them. Sometimes they run out of my favorite energy drink but that isn't their fault, it just sells fast. They always have what I need when I go in. It's my fuel center of choice.”

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. 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.
