I've lived down the road from this location for a year and few months now. It's so close that it is my family's go to convenient store, which at times isn't easy. I feel like whoever owns this store is mismanaging it. I have seen great employees leave quickly and long standing employees that stink stay for way too long. There are also a handful of long standing employees who really care about their work despite what seems to me to be poor leadership at a higher level and, likely in consequence, a culture that allows despicable behavior by their customers. There is a gentlemen who works in the morning who is a little shorter with a greying beard who usually has a hat on that has been there since I moved in who is very pleasant and, from my experience, whenever he is there the lines are short, things are stocked, and I have a good experience. These is also a younger gentlemen with a pony tail that I see late, like after ten or eleven during the week, who is incredibly helpful to customers and makes sure the store is operating as it should be even though in most cases I feel like he is the only person there and is dealing with terrible customers.
To me there is a clear difference between the new employees who don't care and end up leaving or getting fired within a month and the employees who train them every month, deal with terrible customers and, quite frankly, scary situations, who keep this place running. If those handful of employees weren't there I know the store would fall apart because they'd be reduced to these fly by night employees they hire at such low wages they'd never care about the place and only do it long enough to find another job or until the can't bare it anymore. read more
