“Maybe the AC was out or something, but it was 90 degrees outside and about 93 inside lol. Place was kinda hit, but if I was working there and the AC was down and it was that hot, I may not be too incentivized to clean too thoroughly. Not the best first impression, however even in the not so conducive conditions the staff was excellent, professional, helpful, and kept a smile, so it made it feel like it wasn’t so bad after all. It’s hard to find good staff, you guys have a great crew there in the afternoons right now.”

“Marathon is a short distance from the highway and is easy to get to. We stopped in for fuel, a restroom break, and snacks for the rest of our trip. The restrooms were very clean, as was the facility and grounds. There were plenty of snacks and drinks to choose from. They also have a deli or restaurant counter for something other than the prepackaged snack foods.”

“I drive a semi tractor trailer and Sheetz is always clean and the restrooms are very fine and the people who work there are doing the best they know how. I wish, I wish, I wish they would sell coffee that I could somehow drink. Every time the Automated machine spits out the coffee I think to myself, where did they get this pureed possum roadkill. The coffee is a yellow weird mass. Each time I take it to the checkout and I feel like I should say something but apparently that's what they think coffee is. My main two reasons for coming in is to relieve myself and buy some coffee and it defeats half the purpose.”

“Convenience store with a good variety of items, can get basic groceries here, actually has a fresh produce area, although small. I would choose to shop here over the Family Dollar in town. They also have fresh donuts daily except Sunday and a deli counter. Also has a small kitchen to order subs, pizza, and a few other items. Coffee is always brewing and priced right. Fresh grab and go food items available too.”

“While traveling thru this area, I decided to take a short break. The store was clean and the cashier was friendly. The gas pumps were full with vehicles. I used the ladies room that had a handicap stall, a regular stall, and a diaper station in the entry way. It was clean and well stocked. The isles were well marked, the register area was not overly filled with things that make you feel cramped and pressured to buy.”

“This truck stop is my favorite truckstop. I have been over the road for at least four years and I feel like Home when I come here friendly clean environment. Most friendless employees.”

“Let me be clear, as a previous employee. The main reason we do not have a public restroom is because almost every single time someone would use it, it would be an absolute mess and no one would clean up after themselves. We tried it for a bit but it got so bad that we stopped doing it altogether. And yes, I understand that the porta potty is sometimes dirty. That is all on Rumpke and is in no way any of the employee's fault. I also must say we have a very large sign on the door that explicitly says that we have no inside bathroom, but people still ask and then read the sign on their way out.”

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.
