QuikTrip

This place is TOO busy. It’s anything BUT convenient so, I avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Not the store’s fault but I can’t give my experience here a higher rating because it is not convenient.

Good luck during rush hour, morning or evening. There’s something complicated about the location of this QT. People are pretty aggressive with getting to a pump and backing out is almost impossible. There’s not much space for waiting in line on a pump which I guess could cause the issues. Hey, there’s parking around back too! It’s a normal QT otherwise. Not a one stall bathroom… that’d be terrible for such a busy place. If you’re a nervous driver, pass up this location… you’ll be a wreck, maybe literally.

I recently went on what I’d call a high school lunch date here and loved the experience. They recently expanded the number of buffalo rollers they put out so you’ll never have one that sat out too long, or God forbid they run out of those. My date got the hot dog, then between chips peanuts and drinks we got outta there for $ 7. We then had a romantic seat in my car as we listened to the radio and people watched.
This QT in particular is the reverse of the standard because it straddles the state line, and Missouri is better for alcohol sales. Hit them up for their UMB ATM as well!

Well, I work right next door to this place, but rarely put my life at risk enough to visit here. This place is just too busy… the cars go 1000 different ways and it’s just not worth it. Sometimes I will park in the back and use the back door if I’m desperate. This time I stopped for gas just because I happened to catch the place when there were actually available pumps.
Watch yourself here. Lock your car even if you are pumping gas. Friends have had people try to get in their cars to grab purses, etc. even when they were standing right at the car.

I’m pretty sure that if you hate QT, you hate America. Do you want to hate America, commie?!
QT has everything a gas station needs and then some. An island of roller meats greets you when you walk in, there are donuts, tons of snacks and drinks and all the other crap you need. If you are stoner, I’m pretty sure QT would be your heaven. Or it might be your hell, because how could you ever decide on something… QTs are always clean and efficiently run and the lines move. About the only complaint is that they can be BUSY. the parking lots & pumps tend to be packed. This location is ALWAYS busy. But again, they keep things moving, things are stocked…
Oh, and if you shop at Price Chopper, you can earn reward points that get you discounts on gas. That is always handy.

Holy cow is this an awful QT! I absolutely love QT from both a customer and business-​nerd standpoint (their business model is truly fascinating), but I will never step foot in this QT again unless I really, really, really, really need to.
Let’s just clarify that it’s not so much the stepping inside that’s bad. Inside, it’s truly just your standard QT — questionable but delicious rotating meats, beverages to your hearts content, all the snacks you could need, decent sandwiches at a fair price, and friendly service. It’s the «getting to the opportunity to step inside» that’s bad.
The parking lot at this place is atrociously horrible. Some QT’s are bad, but this one is just truly the worst. It reminds me of the time I had to drive through Tokyo at rush hour… not fun. First off, if you need some gas, good luck getting it without a wait at any time around an hour that could possibly be considered a fringe rush hour. However, let’s just say you want to run in, grab a quick product, and get out without gas, much like my recent visit… that’s even worse! Because with all of the people waiting to get the gas, many of the thoroughfares around the parking lot are blocked or very tight. It literally took me 2 – 3 minutes to get the 150 feet from Southwest Blvd to a parking spot. I am not kidding. And trying to back out of my spot after I went inside? Another 2 minutes.
The worst.

I drive a lot and Quik Trip is the beacon in the night when it comes to fountain drinks, hot chocolate, and clean restrooms. Usually. The management changed some at this location and I have noticed a decline in the cleanliness of bathrooms since then. Maybe it’s because it’s so crazy busy here all the time. Good luck trying to find a gas pump that doesn’t have 3 cars in line. It’s cutthroat when it comes to the pumps and people will steal a spot from you in the blink of an eye or damn near run you over trying to. The parking lot is tight. I used to always be able to count on the back parking lot for an open space but not anymore. People park along the curb and sometimes it’s close to impossible to get out if you park behind the building. I find myself avoiding this location more even though it is the most conveniently located for me. I would suggest lots of patience if you go during the day or wait until 11 pm if you don’t want to pull your hair out.

***QuickTrip seems to be a popular gas station /​convenience store in the Kansas City area; it was quite busy, but the store seemed very well prepared with many gas pumps, free (of course) parking spots and cashiers; they had a wide variety of chips and candy (though some of the bags of Chex Mix-​esque snacks had a little bit of dust on them)***
As mentioned, many free parking spots are available if you are looking to just pick up a snack or drink.

Parking too tight. Still good place if you can navigate parking lot. Today people were yelling profanities at each other as they jockeyed for gas pumps. Sort of entertaining.

Quiktrip hotdog with chili and mustard — Better than most restaurant lunches in KC, and ¹⁄₁₀ the price. And now they have CHILI for they dogs! Chicago hoity-​toity dog snobs can all kiss my behind, because QT dogs are better than all that mess.
The worst thing about Quiktrip? They don’t have Necco Wafers, the best candy Jah has given to mankind for his enjoyments. I have to knock ‘em down a star for no Necco Wafers.

Quick Trip (or «QT» as most people lovingly refer to it) makes me insanely angry. It’s like 7 – 11, which I also despise, only with gas pumps and even more diet coke. What’s more is that any convenience store that doesn’t sell TP should not even refer to themselves as such. Instead they have about 5 dozen versions of diet sodas.
As far as I’m concerned, a convenience store should be selling just the following:
paper products
seltzer
olive oil
an Italian red wine
blueberries
espresso beans
eyeliner
safety pins
dark red lipstick
Vogue
and that is IT! If there’s to be any Joi in convenience stores, that is…
I might add that pumping gas is quite the ordeal here, too. I hate to pump gas anywhere, of course, because it’s a thoroughly vile necessity, but here I’ve had to endure the Lowest Common Denominator leering at me because I was wearing provocative footwear (I was driving home from the damn airport and I typically drive barefoot).
Goddamn me for not bringing flip flops on this sad day, though. I have a feeling this lowlife likened the whole scenario to a ZZ Top video in his head. Next thing I knew, the fucker was screaming filthy words at me. I so wanted to pull a Reflecting Skin moment on the guy, but I was the beacon of self control that day.

I do love QuikTrip but it is ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ if it is going to be a Quick Trip. Most of the QT’s are easy to get in and out of but this one, not so much.
It is always busy and you have to wait for a pump always. Someone will likely cut you off to get to the pump or someone that can’t drive will try and back into a pump. It is funny to watch but annoying if you are in a hurry.
There is usually an off duty cop standing there. This QT tends to get robbed and I have seen people selling all sorts of items being sold out of car trunks here.
I go here because the gas is cheap and I do like QT. I just wish this one was faster.

This is my «go to» QT. It’s cheap, it’s clean and it’s conveniently located within five minutes of where I work. As a bonus, since moving the store just across the Missouri State line in 2009, they have some of the best gas prices in the area.
Like all QT’s, this location offers numerous choices in food and beverages to get you through the morning, fill you up at lunch or (since most are open 24 hours) satisfy that hunger that tends to hit during those late nights.
The worst thing about this location is the traffic, and I don’t mean Southwest Boulevard. As anyone who has been to this location can easily verify, this QT is almost always packed and the lot, while large, often does not feel large enough. This makes for some interesting maneuvering and, if you’re not comfortable backing up, could leave you a little stressed. Ultimately it’s not enough to keep me away or make me consider going elsewhere, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Cheap, convenient, clean and friendly … what else do you need?
