  • Another great example is Quik Trip, a convenience store chain. I could go on and on, but if you know you know. Nowhere else holds a candle to QT and the employees make lifelong careers from working there. No shit.

    Did early Y2K updates for them in 98, because they were ahead of the curve. Had touch screen POS terminals, in 1998. Even had in-house IT who wrote their custom software. Imagine that! Some of the clerks told me their monthly bonus was often more than their paycheck.

    You won’t see someone being trained in the store. Hell no, that’s a six-week class, because they invest in their people.

    Went to a couple of stores in East KC. They didn’t hire rent-a-cops, they paid actual cops to stand in the store. No fucking around.

    Story goes that the owner said, “I got rich and it’s payback time.” Wildly successful outfit.

    Anyway, I could have had a career with their IT but I let a chick I met online hang out with me at Harrah’s Casino and Hotel. She ripped me off via room service and QT was stuck with the bill. Didn’t even get laid. What a life.
