"I love the \"hi\" and \"bye\" when you enter and exit the store; not because I feel welcomed, particularly, but because I appreciate the business model and human psychology behind it*... it's a prime example of GREAT leadership and well-thought out business practices coming to fruition. \n\nAlso, there are always cops there (which I think is a great thing), it's very well-lit, and it always pretty well-stocked. I also really love the ice selection (one of which, in a certain part of Texas, is called \"Snowman poop\". Seriously. Denton, Texas.)\n\nAnd, Thomas, it means QuikTrip.
