“I wish this valero would hire a few more employee's than just 2 people!!I have been in thier on multiple occassions and their beverage freezers that they have in thier when you first walk in were completely broken 2 weeks ago and not functioning properly also their drink machine was broken 4 a while as well.Here's what i propose on how to bring this valero back to life.Hire more employees, Bring back the VIP VALERO FUEL REWARDS CARD so people can get additional cents of thier gas and finally call the owner or corporate and tell them you need some appliances fixed in that store and that they should send out a maintenance guy or a valero specialist.Hire more people during the dayshift and if needed hire somebody for the overnight shift *cough* call me if absolutely neccesarily i will fill in for someone as well but only if u absolutely need me 2 also what happened to that Marlboro IQOS vape pen device?It really helped alot of my friends quit smoking that Marlboro IQOS thing that's why i want to see it come back!!!My dad says he wants to quit smoking cigarettes but you guys won't even sell him the marlboro IQOS thing he says he needs the whole kit not just the heating sticks.Marlboro IQOS is not a vape pen its a heating device similar to a juul before juul got such a bad wrap but how Marlboro designed thier vape pen well they call it a heat stick it's essentially a vape pen just a way safer one that was designed way better than Juul and all those other 3rd party Vape Pens such as the Vuse and many others except this vape pen doesn't emit dangerous vapor odors and instead heats up your cigarette so that thiers no second hand smoke exposure in the air from second-hand smoke and ive even heard it helps long-term tobacco users quit smoking and possibly even chain-smokers as well though thier chances at quitting are probably much lower but anyways it's worth a shot that's my advice for improving/fixing that valero.1)Hire more people2)Make sure yall have plenty of lottery tickets, beer,black-and milds,and blunt raps and i guarantee you in 2-3 months the store will be poppin again.Keep that store up and running that valero is way more important than people realize up thier.”

“Big fan of most of the workers here. Most everyone is helpful and personable. Gotta say tho, there's this large older woman with some dookie highlights and short hair that makes her look like lord farquad with a perm who's pretty awful. Always seems to be just angry and pissy. Doesn't wanna help anyone, even if all she doin is sitting at the register. God forbid she's stocking. You'd swear you asked her to make a blood sacrifice or something. All in all though, this place dope. Definitely swing by and say what's up if she's not there.”

“Although I only come here for the Exxon gas and points, when I do or have come to the store, every employee has been welcoming and very nice. I haven't had any bad moments with any of the staff there or if they didn't understand they were honest and I appreciate that type of customer service.”

“Joseph (making my frozen coffee)(I hope I got his name right), was so kind, not just to me, but he was greeting everyone that was coming and going while still making my ice coffee. It was delicious ? Thanks Joseph!”

“I was impressed with this Sheetz from the very first time I walked in. I used to stop at the Wawa right across the street, but after experiencing this Sheetz, I’ve made it my go-to. I now stop by 3 to 4 times a week, and every visit has been great. The store is clean, well-organized, and the customer service is excellent. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I really like the wide selection of snacks and drinks, and the made-to-order food is always fresh and tasty. The only small issue I’ve noticed is that there’s no windshield washer fluid available at the pumps at least not that I’ve seen. It’s a minor thing, but it would be a great addition, especially for regular drivers like me. Other than that, everything is perfect. This Sheetz has definitely earned my loyalty. Highly recommended!”

“Never have any problems here. I mainly pay at the pump. Always flowing, rarely a wait. All pumps are almost always working 95% of the time compared to other places. Service inside is great as well. Good and quick customer service.”

“They really did a good job getting prepared for Covid-19, and were able to stock toilet paper, gloves, and hand sanitizer most of the time during the crisis. They always have a good selection of quality drinks and craft beers.”

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.
