I stopped here to fill up my vehicle with gas this morning before work. The handles of the gas pumps are clean! The gas pumps themselves are clean! The area that you stand around pumping gas are clean. I know. I know it's just a gas station, but why shouldn't they be clean? I'm no germ-a-phobe, but holy snot rags, Batman... when you're pumping gas, your hand should not be sticking to the inside of the handle of the gas pump like it does at most other gas stations. eeeeewww! Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that issue anytime I fill up at QuikTrip!
I ran inside this morning and just as I suspected.... the entire interior of the store is spotless from top to bottom. How many times have you ever said that about the interior of a convenient store? ...pretty much never would be the most accurate answer, right? Not here. Even the bathrooms are clean! Yes, the fricken bathrooms are cleannnnnnn! Again, how many times have you walked out of a gas station bathroom and said - wow, that was a super pleasant experience! Not many, right?! The thing that QuikTrip does well is the fact that they make themselves stand out among all of their sub-par competition. Shell, Chevron, Safeway, BP and other local stations cannot hold a candle to QuikTrip because they aren't capable of doing what QuikTrip does. They can't possibly execute it because they don't take pride in their business like QuikTrip does!
Have any of you been to some of the other gas stations in the not-so-great part of town? Swipe your credit card, pump your gas and get the f*ck outta here. Are those the kind of establishments that you want to patronize?! Of course, you don't! So stop doing it!!
So anywho, I head into QuikTrip and as I mentioned, the interior from floor to ceiling is spotless. You want a ton of coffee varieties? Sure, you do! You want doughnuts? Of course! You want fresh made breakfast sandwiches? Who doesn't? You want an ice cream cone that only costs 49 cents out of their ice cream machine after you've eaten your breakfast sandwich? Who wouldn't want that?! There is never a line, there's always plenty of employee and moreover, everyone is friendly and genuinely seems interested in helping the customer have a pleasant experience. Moving forward, I'm going to patronize QuikTrip locally whenever I can. They deserve the business because they're doing extraordinary things that no other gas station / convenient store is. Obviously, on road strips and family adventures, it's difficult to patronize just one brand of gas station... but locally, I am going to do my part to make sure they get my business. Kudos to all of you for a job well done.
Now where in the heck did I put that apple fritter?
