  Most of the time the cashiers, manager, and cafe workers are really nice. There have been a few times that the customer service is something to be desired here. Otherwise I frequently stop here for gas, drinks, coffee, and maybe a lunch or dinner. Everything always seems to be clean.
  
  I used to wonder why there was always such "mood swings" with the employees until about a month ago I found out why.
  
  Long story, but I want to paint a picture.
  I was sitting at the intersection in front of Speedway (on a Saturday morning) waiting to turn left to go there. There is this nice car in front of me (2 seat convertible) and a couple more cars in front of it. The convertible pulls a U-turn (no big deal) in front of me. When I went to enter the parking lot I saw the same convertible dart across the parking lot and then park on an angle taking up 2 parking spaces in front of the door 1 of them being a handicap (figured it was a restroom emergency). Saw they guy get out of the car wearing khaki shorts and a polyester polo as I was approaching the door and he pushed his way in front of people that were about to open the door and he made no comments, again restroom emergency. When I get inside (10 seconds or less later) I see the same man in the employee area talking and joking with the employees (about 3 or 4). As I was at the cafe I got a closer look and he was wearing a Speedway name tag. I then go to the line to check out and there is about 10 people in line and 1 cashier doing his/her job. While the others are standing there chatting away. He did not even point out that someone needed to take the register as he stood there watching the line get longer and longer (from registers to the doughnut display case).
  From that experience I understand why the employee(s) might be having a rough time. I do not know if he is the district manager or the store manager. He has no consideration for anyone else other than himself. I can remember working at different places that were customer facing and everyone had to take parking the furthest away, be respectful to customers, and show you appreciate the patrons that come in.

  I'm a fan of their large selection on fountain drinks and frozen drinks. Prices aren't bad, I think the 52 ounce super size is $1.49, which beats the 7-Elevens in the city but compares well to Circle K and Kwik Trips in Wisconsin. I choose Speedway over 7-Eleven any day. Too bad that there aren't any downtown. Quite possibly my favorite convenience store location, and I've visited a lot of convenience store locations and chains across Chicagoland and the United States.

  This is a great new gas station and as they have added a Cafe to the store it's new and great the food is so great to eat and it's like restaurant food and they have plenty of space to sit and wait and eat your meal in the Store is kept really clean and with it being new it's already updated with new products and technology.
