Okay, I'll be first to admit that I'm generally more of a Wawa guy than Quick Check, but I do often find myself here for various stuff, usually while on the way to Pt Pleasant Boardwalk.
First, I'll start with the good. The sandwiches here are actually pretty tasty, the meat is sliced fresh, and there's enough variety to meet whatever mood you're in. Additionally, the soups here are actually better than Wawa's, and it's self-serve, so no waiting around for an overloaded deli worker to ladle out a cup. There's a free ATM in the store, and your usual "to go" items that you'll find in most quicky marts of this style.
That said, the last time I was here, I was immediately hit by the odor of burnt food / chemicals / who-knows-what after walking in the door. It was acrid, and I often found myself with my face buried in my shirt just to breathe "clean" air. Awful smelling as it was, I could overlook it if that was the only problem this location had. Whenever I come here to order a sandwich, the deli clerk has always taken forever and a day to make anything. To make matters worse, those awesome soups I love so much? Yeah, you better get here early, they close down the entire soup area before the moon lights up the sky - apparently QC thinks that soup is a strictly daytime food, and that surely nobody will want a hot, but light dinner. In the very least they could put the stuff into the back, so that deli workers can just reheat it for customers as needed.
The worst is checkout. It doesn't matter if I come here at 8PM in December, or 11AM in August, there's always a gigantic line, and not because of a busy store. No, it's because that no matter what the hour, you can guarantee there will be one person on register scanning slowly, with another 2 in the store chitchatting with each other, and / or a manager who refuses to step in to do any actual work. I never have this issue at any other QC's, so why here? Better / more staff would make this place shine, for sure. read more
