6 reviews for Qt #425
QT has basically mastered the art of the convenience store. They are always clean, fully staffed, and have a huge selection compared to other chains. There is a wall of every kind of gum and candy one could imagine, and just to indulge, they not only allow, but encourage the mixing of frozen drinks and sodas...yum
I also like the "crowd" system that they use at the checkout. Instead of forming a single file line that snakes through the floor, the customers waiting for the checkout just gather near the register as the cashier handles them two (at least) at a time. Pure brilliance.
Did I mention some of the best prices on gas in town?
Rock on.
NOTE: I meant to review the one at Indian School just west of Central!
QT. I don't even know what the Q or the T means. But this place beats 7-11 and AM PM hands down. Huge parking area. Lots of gas pumps. Assorted bums and snot faced teens. Uber friendly and uber efficient staff. Clean. Clean. Clean. Free air and water for your car. Those yummy Totino frozen pizzas. Every kind of Dorito known to mankind. Assorted bums and snot faced teens. And really, the staff, English speaking. As a first language. I don't mean that as a racist remark, it's just nice when you're in a hurry, and your'e just trying to get your Tecate, Frito's and Bubble Yum and there's no communication barrier. QT. My little convienent cutey store. Oh, hey, maybe that's what it means. Hmmm....
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.
Also, 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.)
And, Thomas, it means QuikTrip. Durrrrr
*In retail, the more effort you exert in making individual, verbal contact with a customer, the less likely they are to vandalize, steal, or otherwise decrease the bottom line. Also, it increases the consumer's confidence and trust in an organization by giving a face to the relatively faceless mass that is corporate America.
I so know what Thomas means the best thing about this QT or any for that matter, is the customer service and large bays. They have very attuned staff that are trained to be fast and efficient and nice. I have had so many bad experiences at gas stations I just dread going inside any at all. But QT has made a point to create a higher standard and make all their locations large and efficient.
Don't try the subs though I had one at the QT on Osborn and 3rd Ave and it was awful.
Their frozen drinks carried me through last summer. They have free air (for your tires) and water (for the radiator) at every location I've ever been to. Their hot sandwiches, though greasy, aren't TOO greasy and actually taste like food. The coffee is pretty good, and they have more ways to tart it up than Starbucks does. QT frickin' rocks.
And BTW, the QT stands for Quick Trip.
TO start off i love QT. I was around for the starting of Quick Trip as it was orginally name. I love the size the general service and the overall selection but one thing in the past couple of days that has caused me to give QT a 4star. Why dont they carry the Tiger or G8 gatorade in 32oz cont........ Honestly, i go into the drink i spend $50 on gas and all i want is a non-sugary sports drinks. Well non sugary eliminates Powerade, regular gatorade and most the others. If i want to spend $2.50 on Vitiamin Water i could but NO i want a Tiger. Well you can only have it in a 12oz bottle.. Hell i can drink 12 oz is in 12 secs. PLEASE GIVE ME 32oz..i need it
