“Honest and reliable auto repair! Dealership told me my brakes barely passed inspection and I needed my rotors resurfaced and an alignment.Rockhill owner checked out my car, replaced the rear brakes and told me my rotors were perfectly fine. Also told me I did not actually need an alignment! Owner could have made a heck of a lot more money on me but he was fair and honest! Will certainly be returning when I need any work done!Service: Brakes”
“Good for your late night shopping necessities. Got some loose skill machines, and they've sold me losta winning scratchies over the years. They're open 24/7, which is a blessing and a curse. The pros: It's hella convenient when your old lady needs girly stuff, or you worked the late shift and you ran out of smokes or your ride is running on fumes and could do with a spot of gas. Friendly, helpful employees working the register... sometimes. The Cons: Junkies who's backs covered in monkeys, Flunkies smotherin' chonkies wit donkeys, punk dweebs shovin' bunk weed full of plump seeds into blunt trees park in front me, thinkin' son sweet, guess they wanna see, sparks from a gun squeeze, make their hearts cease, and lungs wheeze, till they only full of lead and unease, redrum on some dead bums, watchin' scum bleed, chum for the whale drum beat, who stayin' parked up across the-one street, they startin' to-come peep, slow as moss-gon' creep, try to catch me like Moss when he'd-run deep, I had to toss Z's, so now I lost me-some sleep, I seek to reach peaks that's lofty, no harness-never-caught me I'm-unleashed, Napoleons partner stuck chaulkin' y'all c feet, all for talkin' that dumb sheet, carry an extra clip but speak softly, in just one week, seemingly random decisions become costly, come times I gotta spray to keep fleas off me, y'all a small disease, tryna spread wit a cough and sneeze, cut y'all off at the knees, to set things back how they oughta be, cake when ya half as awesome as me, be a boss up till the coffin released, colder than when frost freeze.Pro: They brew some mean coffee.”
“I work nearby and it's very clean and the staff are nice and sometimes the gas here is a little bit cheaper then other places (usually a few cents but hey every little bit helps in my humble opinion).”

Love'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.
