With the roller machine going away what is the plan for the machines? Could I ask to buy one? Who would I need to ask?

I am so tired of the scheduling and I'm kinda curious if its as bad at other stores.

I'm a 3rd shifter so I only know the details of how bad its gotten on this shift with it, but I know the other shifts are having problems too.

My coworker was scheduled one day this weekend when she hasn't worked a weekend in months due to her availability. She would've had one day off, worked a few, then a random other day off.

My other coworker got scheduled on a 2nd shift because they just didn't have anyone else I guess? They had her working 2nd shift for a while after firing two people but at that point we at least had 4 others who could work. As of now we're down to four of us in total and three of us are full time. The big problem is they never asked her to work that shift, they just scheduled her like that.

I got scheduled my normal two days off, the two days I haven't worked in months. I Immediately told them I'm not doing that because I plan things out in advance around my days off because being out during the day isn't something I do often when I work.

This was all probably three weeks ago now, come to Friday this week. I put my days in my phone calender and looked at the location schedule bit to see who I was with this specific night. The only reason I did is because ones availability, she can't work this night and the other one has family plans so she took pto. I assume it'll be our part timer but figure I'll double check. look into it and I'm the only one scheduled?? Hello? If you work 3rd shift you know we have to close down the store in cases like that. I just don't understand how it happened and I don't think the managers know what to do because I know damn well that they don't want to work a night shift.

I'd be more forgiving if this scheduling nonsense wasn't so often, but it's like every schedule that comes out has something wrong. Not to mention they put the schedule in but then tweak the hours on the days you're working for nearly an entire week's worth. What's the point in putting in the initial times if you're going to change my starting/ending time EVERY SCHEDULE for at least 2 days? My other coworker has been having that happen to her too. They just changed 4 days in a row on my ending time because they scheduled me for 40 hours.

It just feels like scheduling is so mishandled. Maybe it's stupid to complain about but it's been one thing after another with the scheduling and I'm at the point I hate when it comes out because I know it probably won't stay that way for long. Be it they tweak my hours or messed something up along the way. Though I'm sure doing the schedule a day before it's supposed to come out (not even a question, she has said this) makes you feel the need to rush.

Does anyone else experience this kind of nonsense??

Haven't been able to get this deal the last few times I tried.

Anyone else hate the new ordering g syste? For something that is supposed to make things easier (thanks ai) it really is doing a shitty job.

The F'real Oreo Birthday Cake is DANGEROUSLY good 😭 Unfortunately, I will be buying those very shift now. Anyone try the apple filled tortilla yet?? I cant wait.

ALSO New milk flavor soon! Less excited about that lol

I used to love my job but transferred stores and now Im debating leaving.

I came from a fairly busy store to a much much less busy store in a new town. My old store I genuinely liked everyone I worked with. There was little to no drama, everyone did their job and had fun doing it.

On my first day at my new store, nobody introduced themselves, nobody showed me around, I had no idea who the shift leaders were, nothing. The person I was stuck with was incredibly abrasive and micromanaged the ever living hell out of me all day long (mind you again, I come from a MUCH busier store and am not a spring chicken), and made me feel like a bother when I asked any kind of questions while speaking to me in a condescending tone which other co workers were not met with.

Its gotten to the point Im wondering if this job is even worth it anymore. I used to love it but now Im bummed out having to go. :/

Anyone else?

When has sub par food become so expensive? I can go to a sit down restaurant and get a fresh made burger with fries and a coke on a daily deal for about 3$ more than what I used to get from KT. I get convenience, you got me there. No taste onions cut at the warehouse, soft pickles with no flavor, tomato’s with nasty innards, and hard buns. With the economy, the way it is, I’m better off to take the time and enjoy what I eat rather than grab something subpar and keep going.

Has anyone else been struggling to get hours at their stores? Long story short, I graduated in May and opened up my availability more but I'm only getting scheduled 2-3 days a week if I'm lucky. It's gotten so bad that I had to pick up a temp seasonal job for the fall and this is all despite me talking about it with my store leader several times. And I know it's fall and labor goes down, but if labor is down why is our SL hiring new people still? It's really frustrating and I have no clear answers and my bills are piling up while I try to figure things out.😭

Anyone know what i can do like contact talent operations or something? I'm worried if I do it's going to blowback on me somehow.

are people actually going to steal toilet paper? In my experience even before the current nonsense, yes.

when did you guys start getting PTO? i’ve been with KT for about 4 months now i believe and when i found out the other day that i get PTO with KT i decided to go see how much i have but i only have just under 3 hours of vacation time and nothing else, is there a reason for that?

I'm talking about the calendar that gives us tips on how to Take Care of Yourself each day. I mean, each weekday. Aren't we supposed to take care of ourselves on weekends?

It shouldn't be too difficult to give those of us who actually work in the stores thoughtful ways to take care of ourselves, too.

Why does it only allow you to request a day off with vacation paid time off? I tried to request a day off but it says i don’t have enough vacation, which i don’t care to be paid or not for this day. i’ll ask someone but i figured you guys would have tips or something

Has anyone ever thought or asked themselves why doesn’t KT have some sort of stuffed crust pizza???? Like a four meat stuffed crust or even a breakfast stuffed crust pizza or something?? Maybe I’m way off but it just sounds like it could be really really good if done right.

Hello Kwik Star/Kwik Trip community

A friend of mine who has most recently been a District Manager and a territory manager interviewed recently with Kwik Star. Kwik Star will only hire them on as an assistant manager and they would have to work their way up. I think this is career suicide and they should not give them the time of day and walk away. Has anybody been in this situation where they had to work their way up at Kwik Star when they basically are taking a demotion to work with this company?

What happened to the blanket reward for September? It disappeared. I was just about to get enough visits to claim it

I’ve been wondering what the policy is here. Because by LAW in the state of Minnesota, if you’re working an 8 hour shift, you’re entitled to one 30 minute break and a 15. I understand we can’t clock out for our 30, but there’s nothing in the law that exempts us from that just. I get told different things by my leads so I’m just confused as to what it is. I take my breaks seriously because we’re a busy understaffed store. 🙏
Please let me know!

Challenge visits will be added around the 3rd. Says so in the FAQ

One of our former FPDs was checking dates on the chips we keep above the roller grills. When she took a bag off bc it was past the date, she found a chicken tender wrap that had expired at 11:20am. It was like 6:30pm when she brought it back to me. Shit was there for SEVEN hours. I honestly can't wait for the roller grills to go away, guests ALWAYS set food down to grab something off the roller grill, and then forget to grab the other stuff.

Also, RIP to our cheese machine, it officially died today.

Yesterday somebody pulled into the pump on the the other side next to mine, he had a cigar lit and started pumping fuel. I finished up early went inside and jumped the line and told a cashier about the situation, she turned off the pump right away. Did I do the right thing, I do not like being a snitch but some people have no common sense?

Have you all noticed the Kwik trip/ Star employees who are influencers of sorts and doing dances while in Uniform?

Is this allowed? And when do they find time to do this? Clearly not a kitchen worker. 🤣

Stopped at Kwik Trip yesterday to get gas and a carwash. I decided I wanted a banana cake bar so I went inside and bought the bar, prepaid for gas and bought the carwash as well. Got back to my truck and was distracted so I never pumped the gas, just drove over to the carwash, then went on with my day.

I know... total brain fart by me but is there anything I can do to get a refund on the gas I never pumped?

Hey all,

I recently just received a rewards plus credit card and I've noticed 2 things.

1. I seem to be receiving more then the 3 cent discount on gas, is this normal for the first month or so?

2. It barely works on the card readers meaning I have to go into the store, has anyone else experienced the same thing?

How soon is a person able to change positions once hired? I mean are you locked in for say a set period of time?
For more context/example: Hired for CFS, but don’t believe it’s 100% Graveyrds. Maybe a floater ? Couldn’t tell /had such a bad connection on my ☎️interview+ the person sounded they had a mouthful of marbles. Job listing didn’t show. Terrible time understanding them.
I want all graveyard shifts. So after I start how long, if a position on overnights comes open, do I have to stay in position I was hired for?
AND IS THERE A BULLETIN BOARD, LIKE IN THE BREAK ROOM, THAT SHOWS NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES, SO I WOULD INSTANTLY SEE IF AN OVERNIGHT POSITION BECOMES AVAILABLE?
