“Early one Sunday morning last August (22) I'm riding my motorcycle out of Joseph and looking for a gas station when my oil light comes on. I was lucky enough to pull onto the Texaco station and Brett was on duty. I asked him if he had any oil that I could put in my bike until I got home in Florida. He was kind enough to draw from some of his bulk oil with something that was most comparable with the actual motorcycle engine/transmission oil just to get me through the day. I thought that was very nice of him. This day and age everyone seems leary to do a temporary fix due to the shark lawyers. I just thought it was a cool thing to do. I filled up with gas and added the oil and enjoyed the rest of my day. Thanks Brett!”

“I don't think I've ever reviewed a gas station before but this one is actually a Service Station! I stopped in to clean my windshield while I was staying in town and the nicest guy comes out and proceeds to take care of it. Had a wonderful chat. I don't remember the last time someone besides me cleaned my windshield. They also do repair work.”

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