“Costco has the cheapest gas anywhere they are and it's high quality gas too. The lines move fast here and the employees are nice, stopping by to check if you look like you need help or saying hi to your dog. the one thing that drives me nuts is that the employees really need to be encouraging people to fill all the spaces. I've seen people wait ten minutes behind the last pump, instead of driving around them and taking up the two empty pumps ahead of them. Why? Isn't that what the sign with the red cars and green cars are for? To help move things along so that you're not stuck waiting while other tanks are not in use. Maybe having the employees manage and encouraging people to drive around would help get things going, especially during the weekend. It's that breach in efficiency that makes me crazy.”

“This is likely the most convenient and fastest off/on gas station, while heading south on I-5, experience I've ever had. The off ramp delivers you right to the station. I filled up, pulled thru turning right out of the exit takes you to one stoplight and then the on-ramp. And I saved a bunch of money with my $1 discount. Highly recommended for southbound I-5 travelers. Northbound, not so much.”

“OMG thank you so much for having someone there outside to help you till ten. I drove to several gas stations having the problems of needing to pay cash but nobody there to help me. I showed up with 3 miles left in the tank. Who knew using cash would be so hard to do these days. You are a godsend thanks 🙏”

“Friendly staff, a pretty clean store, and the hot food seems fresh. Only 4 stars because they don't seem to carry my favorite soda in the cooler consistently, and they don't offer it in the fountain machine -- but otherwise, no complaints!”

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.
