Are all the employees at all QuikTrips super nice or is that just the one I go to all the time?

Pretty much all of them are.  Really love how they can trick people making $7/hr into being so nice.  Like REALLY LOVE IT!

Yeah, it's amazing. Look at this consummate professional and the way he seemingly effortlessly deals with adversity.

Damn, QT is awesome.  Is it run by Mormons?  Don't see how it couldn't be.

Yeah, but alot of them get benefits, bonuses, and a pretty good tuition reimbursment program, even for clerks.  A guy I worked with's daughter works there while she was in college.  Said she worked an average of 40 hours per week, got in on a college/group insurance plan that QT put money in for her, got $4,000 in tuition reimbursment, and claimed $37,000 on her tax return for 2011.

QT is basically one of the best restaurants in town that happens to sell gasoline.

Best of the best:
Chicken Taquito
Chocolate Long John
Southwest Chicken Wrap
Strawberry Fanta
Apple slices and cheese package

Where they mumped up was trying to get into the Take & Bake pizza game. Their pizza is complete crap.
When one person, for whatever reason, has a chance to lead an exceptional life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

Yeah, I've always heard that.  GlassDoor isn't 100% accurate either so could be higher.  But they're pretty well-known for treating their employees very well.  They've been in the black for a long time too.

Basically one of my favorite companies and I'm ludicrously loyal to them as a consumer.

A good friend of mine dated the founder's granddaughter all through high school.  Said the family was all very nice, genuine people (except for her, she turned bat-crap crazy).

I always hit one when I am driving through the area.  I always get a 64 oz energy drink for like a dollar because it exists.

The QT episode of Undercover Boss was a tearjerker.

The one downside of QT is how you never know if their gas (KS side) is 10% ethanol or not.  I really hate that.  I don't generally buy their gas but still go in quite a bit.

Doesn't the pump say if there is an ethanol blend?

They just have a sticker there all the time saying it could contain up to 10%.  I don't think they add/remove sticker based on what their pumping at any given time.

E10 is completely safe, reduces emissions, is cheaper, and adds 2–3 octane to the blend.   Florida even mandates its use.   I'm not sure what then downside is...

When you get the stuff that isn't 10% its noticeably different, much better mileage. Ethanol is a racket. In they call the cheap shitty ethanol "Super Unleaded" and its actually cheaper than regular unleaded. Some Casey's General Stores in Kansas also try to run this bullshit, Casey's in Maize comes to mind. All of the QTs in Kansas use the garbage 10%. If fairly certain the state incentives gas stations for selling shitty 10% ethanol.

If it's a full 10% ethanol, it's only a 3-4% difference in MPGs.  But it's also cheaper,  so...
