“Super nice people run this store! Heading east to Riffe Lake, we needed a little propane. The store was busy, so when I went in and let them know I needed the fuel, she said she would be out there as soon as she could. When I saw the last people leave, I figured I would pop my head in as a reminder, and that I hadn't left. She was on her way out, when more people started to show up. I let her know I would just wait by the propane station. She exited pretty quickly after to fill my tank. When I went inside to pay, thinking there would be more people inside waiting for a register to open, I met the owner, apologizing to me for the wait. I told him not to worry, as I understood how busy things get. He was very grateful for our patience. Smiles were plentiful all around, and the licorice bites were awesome! My kids liked the crispitos too. This will be my stop next time. Thanks for being great! See you soon. :-)”

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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
