So, lets get this straight, you say this business is doing such a great job, then when someone says something about not raising minimum wage to $15, you ***** cause these people are not getting paid enough...
Glad to hear. Except since our Government colludes with corporations like Monsanto the odds aren't that tough to pick the "winner". Maybe it will spread to countries with citizens that can afford treatment-it'll be like a goldmine.
Like I've been saying for months: "as soon as enough people in the west are infected, these companies will miraculously come to the rescue with some over priced treatment, that may or may not work"
No, by admitting that you were gonna bring up the $15 dollar an hour thing. Well of course you were.
advocating for leaving pay decisions up to businesses rather than lawyers. nothing about a $15 and hour 'thing.'

You really cannot make this crap up....
some people just whine for the sake of whining. it's like a hobby or something.

QT is my preffered place for gas/Milk etc as well. They are almost always cleaner than the competition and are very well lit. Great that they treat their employees so well! I believe Costco is up there too.
Don't know how many of you have shopped at a QT store given your locations, but i use them exclusively when there's one in the area.
Very nice, very clean, and the variety of snacks and drinks...along with some fruits and other miscellaneous items is actually kinda dizzying given the size of their stores. Some even have a grill in back, and the stuff they serve isn't half bad.
I've noticed that it seems a tad pricier than other similar chains, but i'm more than willing to pay a few cents more for the cleanliness and variety of merchandise stocked...especially the soft drinks. And the staff is extremely professional.
I started frequenting these stores after i read a 2011 piece on how well they pay and treat their employees. But i noticed that the piece seemed to have at least a small degree of skepticism relative to how long such a business model could last.
Well here we are in 2014, and the company is doing just as well if not better. Here's an excerpt from the piece:
Wow...imagine that. Sounds SO COMPLICATED, right? Have a clean and courteous business with good products and a well trained staff... Treat employees well, pay them a good wage with the promise of more opportunities ahead, and they'll be loyal, won't turnover very often, thereby saving you money and making you profitable.
Yeah i know..."these people are unskilled and should realize that these are entry level jobs and these profits should be returned to stockholders blah, blah, blah"....i can hear it now from the typical corporate shills on CD. But whatever.

I love them because they have all the flavors of Pellegrino...and Faygo Redpop.
No one else in Arizona carries that stuff on a regular basis.
If they were in Pennsylvania, I would definitely support them.
Treating your employees well can only help a company and in turn the community where the company is located.
Other companies should watch places like QT, Wegmans, Costco and HEB, among others, for the way to financial and ethical success.
Nah...better to hire lames, pay them practically nothing, treat them like crap have a 100% employee turnover and no upward mobility...That's the best way to run a business.
(Heavy sarcasm)
But yes..I agree with you totally.
