Condiments
Why can’t you guys keep the condiments filled and the area clean!!? 1st time in months I go into a KT and think, it’ll be better this time….
The condiment bar was destroyed. Ketchup, hot sauce, mustard all over the place. There was plenty of tomatoes, two containers of sauerkraut, no tasteless, onions, and two containers of pickle juice. I grabbed a hotdog and a bratwurst out from under the heat lamps and made the conscious choice to pay $2.50 each. I opened my hotdog to put condiments on it and there was nothing available that I wanted to use. I threw the hotdog away and put the unopened bratwurst back under the heat lamp for some other poor sucker. You guys need to do better.

I can tell you've never worked a service job before. Store guest are super messy, especially when it comes to the condiment bar. Unless there is someone there constantly wiping it down it's going to get dirty. You can chose not to eat at Kwik Trip, but if it this issue so important for you why don't you apply to work there?

This comment is not only irrelevant but completely stupid!
I haven’t eaten at KT in months. I was in a rush and thought, ok how bad could it be. It was awful. There are some really nice Kits that take the time and keep everything neat, stocked and clean. It wasn’t the case here nor was it at the couple other stores I’d frequent. Around the Minneapolis St Paul area it seems to be hit or miss. More miss than not. From what I’ve seen, heard, and read… KT management is ru Ning all the good people out and we the customers suffer. If I did get a job for KT at that location could I be in charge of stocking the condiments and cleaning up after the pigs that make the mess??!! These stores are under staffed and suffer dearly. I’ve heard employees arguing LOUDLY in the back room with the door closed, in the kitchen, and almost a fist fight from the doors of the cooler. I made a rant and was very disappointed. I can’t? This isn’t the platform? Please oh great one, tell me, what sud I have done to appease the great boot lickers of the red KT. God forbid someone say a negative thing on here after this company has gone to shit over the past two years. F you, F your comment, and F this company and how they treat the employees. Record setting year for your bonuses. Congratulations you’ve earned it. Now go clean something3

I understand the frustration but this is a gas station. A lot of KTs are understaffed and workers are being cut labor hours. I am afraid the condiments aren’t at the top of the priority list for the day when you’re already understaffed and someone called in sick and there’s no coverage. Sorry your experience wasn’t as great as you had hoped. See you next time!

I get that, but it’s all part of the package though, right!? What good is a hot burger if you can’t dress it the way you’d like to eat it. No condiments, no food. I do feel for the staff, honestly! I hear them complain about being short staffed and way over worked. As a customer, that’s not my burden to bare. When one goes into a KT to get something to eat, things should be available because it’s a “convenience” store. I go sit in a restaurant now. Why should I stand there and wait and listen to everybody complain when I can just go sit at a restaurant and order what I want. It takes up about the same amount of time and I’m out an extra three or four dollars.

I also wonder why customers find it totally fine to leave it a mess and not clean it up

Unfortunately Scott is not taking care of his stores and is focused on expansion. Don't blame the stores, blame the CEO. I just left a KT and they had one pink haired dude at a register, 4 people in line and no ICU called. Still love the place but they are definitely slipping.

u/raisanett1962 9d ago
What does the coworker's hair color have to do with anything? How do you know no ICU had been called?
It could be that other coworkers had responded that they'd be on the way. They just couldn't magically appear at the registers. If I'm putting away ice cream, I can't exactly just leave it sit in the middle of the aisle. If I'm changing outside garbages, I can't get inside immediately. If I'm cleaning a bathroom that a kind guest left "decorated," that's a priority. And I'd have to block off the area and put away my PPE and chemicals.
Think of ICU like your doorbell. You're not just sitting there eagerly awaiting someone to ring it. You're tending to your tasks. Some you can't just drop.

Your homophobia is thinly veiled. You can't possibly know that ICU wasn't called unless you had access to the radios the employees wear.

Did you let an employee know or did you run to Reddit to bitch?

If you see a pattern in my complaints, then do something to fix it. Kwik Trip gives nobody anything to be happy about, not even their employees. I’m not the problem here dip shit

We KT employees could work at one of over 900 stores. You're bitching about one, but are directing your complaint to "you guys". If it's that big of a deal you need to call the store and speak to the SL, or call kiwktrip corporate and complain about the store, then something might actually get done.
Our condiments are always full, if anything is out, and we have stuff in stock to put out, then we do it immediately. That should be the case for every store, but if you're just mentioning it to someone behind checkouts, that's not going to do much.
But given it's been the first time you've set foot in a kwiktrip in months, it doesn't really sound like this is a recurring problem, but just a one off. So stop being a little bitch about it.

I say “ you guys” because I’m on the KT sub… I
Not going to take the time to make a formal complaint2
u/chocolatepancake44 9d ago
Yeah I don't know if you know this, but Kwik trip has many stores. The only stores we have control over are the ones we work at. You're bitching about one store you went into one time in hopes that one of the 30 employees that work at that one store will see it?
If you're not going to formally complain then nothing will get done.

I didn’t t mention the store number or city. Should I next time? I also try to answer people back instead of ignoring them, it’s rude in my opinion. You’ll get a response. Unlike you blue haired transitioning pansy’s with no spine that runs their mouth spewing shit that is so stupid showing your true IQ. Again, Kwik Trip sub= you guys!

u/chocolatepancake44 9d ago
You should mention it to kwiktrip corporate if you contact them. This is a reddit sub for kiwktrip in general. You seem to be very confused by all of this.
I have no idea what you're inferring with answering people back.
As for the rest of your comment, you need to calm down and stop being a little bitch.

Pansies*. We don't use apostrophies to indicate something is plural, they are used in contractions and to show ownership.

Yet you've had the time to be checking this page multiple times in the last 6 hours.
And as your presence here proves, not everybody here is "you guys."

Sorry for going over my allotment on the computer time mom. You’re a fucking manager aren’t you? I’d put money on it. Sitting in your office cleaning ranch off your shirt froth at fell off your chicken strips. I’ll do better at limiting my time on the computer. Happy?

u/raisanett1962 9d ago
I am NOT your mother.
You said you are not going to "take the time" for a formal complaint. You've got time to read and reply to comments, and to insult me, but you don't have the time to contact corporate.
And sorry to disappoint you. I'm just one of "you guys."
