“I've been stopping at this location for years. Sometimes daily, and other times once a month, depending on how frequently my job or personal life would bring me to the area. I've been consistently impressed with the quality of people they have on staff. They were thorough in the job execution and/or comforting in their welcoming and friendly nature. Last night I was reminded of this. I asked if I could use two nickels from the change tray as I was trying to add whatever I could to my one dollar and change in cash. I embarrassingly joked about trying to increase my "making it home insurance gas" money. She smiled and checked the other trays for me. I assured her it wasn't that serious and that I was almost certain I'd make it without having even stopped for a bit more gas. She said, "Actually, you know what?" as she turned to her purse and grabbed a dollar bill that was poking out. I told her it was very appreciated, but unnecessary. With a nonchalant reassurance, she added the dollar bill to the pot. Not once did I feel judged or like she felt saintly or superior for offering that help. It made me feel so happy at society's ability to be genuinely kind in a time where malice and self congratulations run rampant. I believe her name is Hannah. Three cheers for Hannah and the anxiety she reduced on my drive home. She deserves personal recognition and this Kwik Trip deserves a shout out as a beacon of what the franchise can be in terms of service. Other than the minimal parking space ?, it remains a top notch location and the staff's work ethic and behavior are reasons why I choose to frequent one store over another.”

"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.
