    I personally prefer Sheetz as the food here tastes good but leaves you with bad heart burn for hoursread more

    I visited Rutter's for the very first time today. I've lived in Altoona for over 30 years and had…read morealways been a customer of the "other" big convenience chain in town. Today I thought I'd try something different and went to Rutters for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised. The good: the store is nice and large and well organized. There were plenty of employees at work so I didn't have to wait in line for any. The biggest deal is that they have an entire food prep area that was staffed with 4 people who did nothing but make food orders. I placed an order on one of the many monitors, got a drink, paid for everything, and went to the food pick up area expecting to have to wait for my order. It was already waiting for me. So fast! I did not see a self pay kiosk which annoyed me at first, but when I went up to pay there were three registers open and again no waiting!! Very nice!!! Rutters has a large selection of food items. More that the "other" convenience store. Prices vary in comparable selections. Some are more some are less. The saving grace however is that they have a lot more topping choices and most are included with sub so there aren't any surprises in price waiting when the order is actually placed. The not as good: The drinks are slightly higher in price by .10-.30 cents. In general I spent maybe $2 more for lunch than in the "other" place but the many choices and toppings really made up for that. They do have a loyalty reward card like the "other" but I can't really comment on that yet as this was my first visit. I was happy with food quality, choices, and service which more than made up for the slightly higher cost. All in all, Rutter's made a very good first impression on me and I'll definitely be back again.

    I'll start with the PROS: store staff is friendly and the store is clean. Police frequent the store…read moreat night for gas or whatever it is that police buy at Sheetz late at night. It sells beer and wine and has a place to dine in on your MTO purchase. CONS: Store always seems short staffed. One cashier sometimes checking out ten people, I'd imagine they have high turn-over rates. The food prep people always seem short staffed as well. I've also had another customer tell me that he used to work there and while the cashier is drowning, there is usually a manager just sitting in the back room. My biggest complaint: There are always people "hanging out" inside and out. A lot of shady people, I may add- quick story: I won $7.00 on a scratch off recently and went to the lotto machine to check my ticket. It asked if I wanted to redeem my card. I needed actual cash to buy a shirt from work so I wanted cash since I rarely carry cash, not more tickets. I walked over to the cashier to ask a question and redeem my ticket at the register. Turned and looked at the machine, like a Ninja some dirtball quickly hit the yes button (I didn't know at that moment that was what he was doing) redeeming my ticket for more tickets and then left the store. The cashier told me that my scratch off had already been redeemed. The cashier and manager were apologetic but there was nothing they could do, which I understand. In the middle of the afternoon, there were 3 guys just "hanging out" at the tables, one arguing loudly with his girlfriend calling her an effing b while kids are walking by. Oh and the kids, plenty of young children loitering with their parents at 1130 at night as well. Also, often an abundance of lecherous pervs (again sitting outside) leering at you if you're a female like they are some stereotypical construction worker from an 80's movie. This is quickly becoming 13th Street Sheetz. Take out the seating so the creepers have nowhere to sit around and take up space, making other customers feel uneasy. I'm sure they used to get a lot of hospital staff... probably not anymore. They'd more than likely rather drive to Ivyside Sheetz.. I can imagine it's only a matter of time before robberies start to become commonplace. I hope not but if these issues aren't addressed, it's inevitable.
