We don’t have an ice maker at work. I didn’t think spending 4 minutes a day stopping at QTs I’m already driving by to get ice would make you all think I’m crazy.
At $0.64/day this baby would pay for itself in no time.

Also does this warehouse not have water coolers? Are they just not cold enough?

We have one of those at work to supplement the fridge icemaker that can't keep up. It blows ass and melts fast.

Also, we went through 3 of those at an old job. Those things get slimy & disgusting in a week. I cleaned them a couple times & could never use the ice out of them again.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

The ice makers at gas stations also get slimy and disgusting. You just don't see it.

I think burglar should keep on doing his weird thing. But if I was going to offer a solution, it would be to learn that the ice is not actually necessary.

Speaking of ice. I've wanted an icemaker at the house that makes Sonic style ice but I can't justify spending $600 on an ice machine.

Love me a good round of vodka sodies. I'd be more into that 600 ice maker if it could tap into a water line and burn its own ice.

Wear a hiking backpack, maybe one that’s also a cooler, with the plastic tube straw.

ewwww gross

Alternatively, maybe one of those rolling standup IV’s pumping water directly in him consistently. Plus he’d always have a hand on it to roll it with him as to the fidgeting.

Now this is an elite option, he just needs to find a way to keep the iv bag on ice

Hey buds, do you prefer lemon or lime on your vodka sodies? I'm a rare breed and prefer the lemon, but I understand the lime-appealing folk (just not the lime appeal lol!)

Anyway, I was just curious.

Lime but I’d not be picky at all. Lemon actually sounds refreshing.

I respect the hamburgler flex. QT is the obvious #1 gas station in the gE area and the man likes to stay hydrated.

I tip my hat to you Hamburler, drink as much sweet sweet QT water as you can each day and leave the haters in the dust.

Fresh limes here and also typically use lime La Croix. Sodastream as a backup.

we got this Black Friday last year. It's pretty noisy which is my biggest complaint. I also haven't cleaned it as much as I should. But it's held up so far and makes ice quick.

I've heard good things but I'd be annoyed by filling up the water tank and it not burning it's own ice giving me constant fresh ice.  Probably asking too much of a $400 product.

I've had this one for about 6 months...

https://www.amazon.com/GE-Profile-XPIO13SCSS-Stainless-Nugget/dp/B0964BF4N7

Works well and the 1 gallon tank is a necessity. We use it constantly.  The water you use will almost always dictate how long it lasts, how often you have to clean it, and how good the ice is.

QT is a gas station.  You shouldn't be eating at a gas station just because they have a spotless kitchen and friendly associates.  If possible, fill up at Costco and then drive to a respectable restaurant. Use your gas savings to buy real food.

I may have been mixing up Casey's memories with QT memories. Casey's is 0/infinity for their rate of being able to print a receipt outside. And for fun, they usually have 5 people visual working but apparently only 1 that's capable of ringing people up.

I just got in my car and plugged my phone in. This is what popped up for the traffic report for where my phone thinks I’m probably going.
