I created this account today after years of choosing not to for the sole purpose of writing this…read morereview, It is about Speedway Team Leader Tina! Today I was passing through the town of Elgin, Illinois. I stopped at this Speedway to grab a beverage and a couple other miscellaneous items. I travel a lot for work and will be in law school in the spring. I have a minor in hospitality management. I spent years bartending and serving, managing, and also working in retail. Customer service is very important to me, I believe it is a true art. What Tina did today was incredible and I was almost floored. After I grabbed my items I walked to the register, two employees were standing behind the register and two guest were in front of me. One employee seemed to be responsible for cashing the customer out, while the other perhaps was stocking items. When It became my turn to pay I was just standing there, no one said a word to me. Internally I was about to get frustrated because the two employees were standing right there and had just assisted the other guest. Also, I have trained and mana hundreds of people in customer service, a simple "I'll be right with you," goes a long way. Before I could think about it any further I see an employee who perhaps was in the back office area look at me and immediately hop up and come right up to me to for assistance and to cash me out. This is who I now know to be Tina. She didn't hesitate, think twice, or continue to do busy work when she saw a guest/customer ready to check out. The natural urgency and attention to detail was incredible, and truly appreciated. To make it even better, there wasn't a long line forming, and there were two workers standing right there. But that didn't matter to Tina, being a professional, doing her job to perfection, and ensuring the guest/customer was promptly taken is what mattered most. I could feel this deep in my soul because I lived it and loved helping others. In an hour of life where most people do not want to do their job or do the bare minimal to get by, professional customer service such as Tina exhibited is very hard to come by. So I want to say thank you Tina for being great, and doing your job great as well. I must mention that because of this great customer service I became a speedway reward member for the first time ever. The little things make the big things, and are actions have a ripple effect into our tomorrows and into eternity! Thank you TINA for being you! I would hire you as a district manager immediately and put you over 6 stores. Again Thank you Tina, and thank you Speedway!

The Speedway on the east side of Elgin is easily one of the best gas stations in the area. From the…read moremoment you walk in, you can tell it's well run and taken care of. The service is consistently great--staff are friendly, quick, and actually seem to care about customers, which makes a big difference. The store itself is clean, organized, and doesn't have that run-down or sketchy feeling you get at some other spots. It's a comfortable place to stop, whether you're just grabbing gas or heading inside. What really stands out is the selection. They've got a wide variety of snacks, drinks, and food options, way better than most gas stations nearby. Everything is usually well stocked too, so you're not stuck with limited choices. Overall, it's just a reliable, quality spot on the east side of Elgin. Great service, great selection, and a much better experience compared to other gas stations around.

The barista that took my order was really nice and after my coffee order, I changed my mind and wanted a hot coffee and he was cool with taking my new drink. I ordered a regular coffee, a Chocolate Pistachio Loaf, Strawberry Matcha Loaf. The coffee was good a normal. I liked the Chocolate Pistachio Loaf was well more balanced on the chocolate but had Pistachios on the top. It was good. I really loved the Strawberry Matcha Loaf, the strawberry icing was very tasty and the matcha was not a prominent. You just get a hint of the matcha. The barista made our day when he wrote "Ingat Po" my drink and "Salmat" on my wife's drink. The service and food was great. Next volleyball tournament, we will be sure to stop here for drinks.

This local rebrand as not just a "Drive Thru" but a "Drive Thru ONLY" location is so crazy. There are EIGHT parking spots and they've put up "Employee Parking Only" signs on every single one to deter customers from even parking and walking quickly inside to get their drink "To Go". I will be grabbing coffee from the competitor down the street with better prices and friendlier attitude next time. (Edited to add this is not about the employees at this location, but rather the management's decisions.)

If you're looking for choice, Meijer's does feel very much like a mix of Walmart and Target together -- or like a slightly more upscale version of Woodman's. So you can find most anything you're looking for in this store with generally competitive prices. Like every other enormous store, they can sometimes suffer from inconsistency -- particularly in terms of food -- where the quality and pricing isn't necessarily as good as you might expect from peer superstores. Having the enormous choice can help mitigate some of this due to having such a large variety of available items at different price points. Overall though, the shopping experience is pleasant and the selection is massive. There's everything one needs to make this a one stop shop for all your grocery and other needs.
