From a co-workers point of view

Things About Kwik Trip You May Not Know
CSP Daily News

I've worked at Kwik Trip for exactly a year this month, and here's some things I've learned throughout my experience.

1. Our Mission Statement

Most co-workers know our mission statements like it is the pledge of allegiance, it is usually read at the beginning of every meeting.

2. Team Work

Everything we do we do with team work, which makes working so much easier.

3. Pay Day

We get paid every two weeks, and on each pay day we receive a free car wash which is a great bonus!


4. Employee Gift Cards

If our store does good in a certain area we all get gift cards, which is definitely a perk.

5. Friendly Competition



We love to have fun competitions within our co-workers such as: who can sell the most Karuba Gold coffees?

6. Commercials

Everyday you work you listen to the same commercials over and over, eventually you get them memorized.


7. Slogans


We always find it funny when our guests begin to say our slogans before us, such as, "see you next time!"


8. Christmas Bonus

All of our co-workers love and appreciate the 40% profit we get back during The Christmas Season.

9. Truck Days

Truck days are usually always hectic; trying to complete duties before the truck arrives while also prepping for truck is never easy!

10. Guests On The Phone

We really dislike when guests are on their phones while we are checking them out, it is very hard to get your attention while you're on your phone, and we want to have a conversation with you so we know you're getting good service!

11. Customers who pay in quarters

It is a pain to count, we do not enjoy it, but either way we will gladly take them from you because we want you to be happy!

12. EBT

We take EBT but it does NOT work on hot food.

13. $100 Bills Are Frowned Upon

It seems as if we always get them after we drop our $20 bills. The reason why we don't like $100 bills is because we are not supposed to keep anything higher then $10 bills in our drawers and we do feel guilty giving you all $5-$10 bills back in cash for a $100 bill.

14. Karuba Gold

We are one of the only gas stations with a Karuba Gold machine! (They use these at coffee shops like Caribou, and our iced ones are on sale for only $1.49 for the summer!)

15. Coupons

We do NOT do double coupon Tuesday days, but we do take competitor gas coupons. We usually take our own coupons when they're expired too, depending on what they are.

16. Rewards Cards


One of the major things we get asked is, "do you have gas rewards?" Yes, we do, but it is a debit card or a credit card that you use, and you get the rewards back quarterly instead of instantly.

17. Monthly Paper Ads

Every first Wednesday of the month we sell our coupons in the newspapers in our stores, you can save $20+ by buying just one paper!

18. THE TEAM

We treat our co-workers like family, and work together like a team, which is why I love my job the most.

19. We Care

We genuinely want you to walk out of our store happy, and we will do anything it takes to make you that way!


20. Guests

We appreciate all of our guests and the wonderful opportunity of a job that they give us!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
