“After a few failed attempts at other stores on Sunday, we went into this HEB excited to buy some mesquite wood. We went to the spot where we usually see it, close to checkout isle #16. But it wasn't there. We figured, wow, maybe they have sold out. But I thought, no way, it's practically summer time. It's gotta be around here somewhere. We walk around the whole store and could not find it. We asked an employee and she tells us it's next to the meat. So, we walk over to the meat...but no mesquite wood. We almost leave to check another store, but we ask once more time. A worker at the self check out tells us that it's outside on the opposite side of the store. She also tells us that we can purchase it now, and then go load it in our truck so we don't have to bring it back to the check out. We buy 10 bags of wood and spend a little over 50$. We go to the other side of the store just to find none. We begin to get frustrated. Now we have to go back and get our money back. We go back and tell the cashier we need a refund. She calls a manager to approve a refund. The manager by the name of JESUS comes and he looks at the receipt. With a puzzled face he says, "We have mesquite wood!" He begins paging around asking about it. He doesn't get any answers for a few minutes. He decides to go to the back himself. Not even 5 minutes later he comes with a shopping cart with 10 bags of mesquite wood. We were so excited and happy and so appreciative that he took the initiative to bring the mesquite wood himself to the front of the store for us. Thank you JESUS for doing what you do and being you! You made some customers happy! Because of your help, we are stocked for summer! Keep it up! Manager of the year is how we feel about you! =)”

The sides are all staples like rice and beans, plus the Mexican green spaghetti is always on point. It gets pretty busy at lunch with all the warehouse workers and truck drivers coming from the international bridge, but it is the perfect stop when you're in the area.”

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.
