This Sparky's is near the US 20 interchange and is a big car/truck complex. Gas was reasonably priced, but we had to park the car over by the trucks to walk in after filling up, as the front of the store spots were taken, mostly by motor cycle folks. Inside featured a nice array of snacks, some of them "home baked or cooked". Sparky's staff were all very friendly and helpful. We bought a cookie (and other snacks) and coffee, and we were soon on our way.

I needed to pick up a soda and use the restroom. Great selection of soda pop and very clean restrooms. They have a very large parking lot and plenty of gas pumps. Several Kun & Go trash cans are usually filled by the late afternoons. These garbage cans were not filled and I will assume based on the traffic, they are removed regularly throughout the day. You are about an hour away from Omaha to the west and one hour away from Des Moines to the east. The location is not remote, with fast food restaurants nearby and another gas station across the street. I will remember this pit stop the next time I head east towards Des Moines if I need to rest break.

So as a gas station, this place does what its supposed to, including getting in and out efficiently. One thing the Kwik Star chains have going for them is an impressive array of road snacks, including sweet rolls/donuts that would match a stand alone shop. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and a decent cup of coffee for the road.

You have a woman there, short blonde hair with glasses whose life work it seems is to make sure these are rung up properly. Tonight she was cleaning up in the area by the nitro, as I filled my mug she watched me, never said hi or acknowledged I was there. I asked her if I was in her way for the garbage can or sink In the corner and she never responded. She watched me go from the dispenser to the register, watching me like I was a thief, calling the cashier on her radio to make sure it was rung up as a nitro, which it was. I made a comment to the cashier about it and left before I made a scene.

In my 57 years I have never seen a store where they mop the ENTIRE store including the bathrooms so there is no where to step that isn't slippery. I also have never seen this much water on the floor after mopping. This is a huge accident waiting to happen if an elderly person or handicap person or person in heels or running child or even an able bodied 20 year old slips. Do better! I wish I would've taken a photo.

In a series of unfortunate events, my brother was about to run out if gas and pulled into this gas station. My brother lives next door to me. His debit card wasn't working and he called me - The lady told me that she couldn't take my card over the phone. I understand - there is a bunch of fraud in this country. I called her back and told her who I was and I worked with a big business just outside of their town. I told her that Mom was gone and I didn't want to wake the kids up and pack them in a van to come pay for a gallon of gas. As soon as my brother went in the bathroom, she called the police. (He had not even pumped any gas at this point). I am white and my brother is black and I told him she would call the police even as he told me the initial story. I don't believe black people are picked on as a general rule of thumb but this lady was a racist bigot. He dug through his car and found some change to pay (prepaid) for gas that the pump stated was "prepaid only from 3pm and on". He gave her the money and then the state patrol showed up. He pumped his "prepaid" gas and instead of the "prepaid after 3pm" gas limit reached shutting the pump off it ran for another $2.00 until he shut it off himself. Backup called. Black guy pumping gas. I packed up my kids in the middle of the night and drove out to this gas station to pay for the (only in cash) gas from this place. I tried to talk to the cashier and she told me to "Just drop it! I wasn't the one on duty" while she sat and talked about her cremated son to the lady that was on duty when he showed up that was on duty. I went to talk to the State Patrol cars (that had scrambled 2 units - Go tax payers!) to ask them about the situation. One of the officers was nice but the other one was a complete asshole. No empathy. Everything was black and white - he had no interest in talking. I guess he forgot that we all pay his salary... But I guess I went to enough idiots like this in high school to know that dealing with this kind of idiocy requires no rational argument. Anyway, I shaved a $100 bill out of my wallet for my brother's $3 worth of gas that the lady set him up to take a fall for. She took my money and carefully dragged an "anti-forgery" pen across the face of the bill. How nice! Playing the race card is absurd in almost all cases, but this was so blatant. It's like they'd almost get a guy in trouble than take my money. Shame on you. Enjoy your Karma. Where has all the humanity gone? Not to this place.
