A QT at that location would make an unfathomable amount of jack.

They’re putting in a car wash behind my QT. I know they had a few free-standing car washes that they sold. This is a small, single car thing like car washes you see at older gas stations where you can add a wash for $6. I don’t think I’ve seen one of these at a QT before.

Dull ass overrated gas station.

I’m curious about this take. I’m not going to say it’s anything special product wise, but they’re so fast.

They put a Casey’s in a mile from my house & it’s unusable.

Edit: I will say I get the further away you get from Tulsa, the worse they are. I stopped at one on I-49 just south of KC (Harrisonville maybe) and if that store was in Tulsa everyone would have been fired.

Bring us a review of the non gas QT in downtown Tulsa.

I wouldn't call myself conspiratorial per se, but as someone who needs to turn in my gas receipts, I've noticed that QT's receipt printers NEVER work. I have to go inside roughly 100% of the time. Is QT trying to make everyone go inside to get their receipt so they're more tempted to buy something? Are they hiding something bigger? It's tough to be sure. But I, for one, do not want these scamming POS's in the lovely city of Manhattan, KS.

Casey's definitely has better food but I feel like it takes 5x as long to checkout compared to QT.

I'm a 90% QT guy when I'm in KC and always realize how lucky I am when I go on road trips and it takes 5 minutes to get some roller food and a bag of ice at XYZ station.

Never had a problem with QT, nor its receipts, they have an albeit somewhat vanilla upgrade (though nice, just predictable) for their recent QTs. They do an above average job, and are in general better than pretty much any P66/Shell/Conoco/etc al kinda place and outside of Casey's pizza they are as midwesterny desirable as you can get

Also from what I've heard they are good to employees, which is important to me.

Same thing at the QTs here in Iowa. My last job, I had a company car and had to turn in receipts, there's a QT right next door to my former office so I got gas there a lot, the receipts at the pump never worked, literally not a single time. I got pissed and started going to a Kum and Go 2 miles away.

When I lived in Wichita I thought that QT was the best gas station ever. I moved to the Des Moines area, where we have 4 different large chain gas stations and QT is absolutely 4th. What I discovered is that QT thrives on exclusivity. QT is very popular in Tulsa, Wichita, and KC where they have the markets to themselves. Since I've lived here exactly half of the QTs have closed or been sold.

Their hot food is significantly worse than Kwik Star/Kwik Trip and Casey's. It's right on par with Kum and Go but K&G has way better store rewards. As mentioned there's a QT, with at QT kitchen, next door to my former office so I ate there enough to know the food is mediocre.

Kwik Star is the best convenience chain I've been too, haven't been to a Bucees yet.
Casey's is second
K&G third, I really want to like them more, they give a lot of money to lib causes, spend a lot in improving downtown DSM, and now own a soccer team and are building a soccer specific stadium here, on a former superfund site.
QT is undoubtedly worse than all of these places, although they are way cleaner than most Casey's and like 7 pointed out, almost certainly treat their employees better. Kwik Star and K&G are also known to be employee friendly.

Casey's is coming for QT, and will publicly surpass them within 5 years at most. Their gas pump handles are something you only read about in fantasy stories. And their receipt printers work 20% of the time, a mark significantly higher than QT's.

The best thing about Casey’s, and it’s outrageously good, is that they give me my Hy-Vee fuel rewards plus generally have a 5% Chase Sapphire Reserve cash back going. I’m basically getting paid to get free gas there at this point.
