Every time we come here without fail, there is no one behind the counter! Have to wait a ridiculous amount of time for someone to come check us out.

I was traveling through and stopped for snacks and restroom. The women’s restroom sparkled. I was surprised as that’s not the norm anymore. The store was immaculate too. Best of all, the clerk was very friendly and approachable. Really appreciated that type of customer service.
