Quiktrip - Oakland

I've been here several times in the past month and I'm not normally one to remember much of my gas station trips but my experience there has been nothing but good. Although I can't remember the cleanliness aspect of it, it didn't matter because the customer service was amazing. Not something you'd really expect from a QuickTrip. Can't remember the name of anyone who cashed me out but I do remember that it was super quick and the employees were very friendly, making sure to tell us to have a good day. If I could give this location 10 stars, I would.

This is my go-to Quick Trip. It's usually popping, so if I stop here, I try to go at off times, but sometimes you just can't time it. It's centrally located on Big Bend, just before I-44 East West. There are several entrances and exits, just be cautious of others drivers. I love QT for it's plethora of snacks, you are guaranteed to find something. I really love their hot chocolate mixed with french vanilla cappuccino. The prices are beyond reasonable and the flavor selection of hot drinks along with the ability to combine several flavors is right-up my alley. I use to drink their hand spun shakes that were a $1.99. I would grab a shake from the freezer, open it up and add a banana, take it over to the mixer on the counter. The end result was a delicious thick shake. I haven't tried anything from the new hot bars, since QT upgraded many of their locations. I mainly get my gas from Sam's up the street because it is always the cheapest, but on the occasion I mix it up and grab gas from here. Of course I have used the free air quite often over the years when my tire indicator light comes on. I love how QT is nicely lit up and you always see employees cleaning-up outside and inside. How many gas stations do you know of that have clean bathrooms???? Not only are the bathrooms clean but they are private and well lit. When I'm on a road trip and have to stop off to use the restroom, I'm usually concerned about the state of their restrooms. I have also picked-up a few $1 scratchers for gifts and use to use the US Bank ATM's when they were located inside. QT has classic hotdogs, I no longer eat them anymore, but back in the day I use to. This QT is just classic for me.

This is one of the closest gas stations to my house. They always have the cheapest prices, usually even on par with Sam's Club. Tons of pumps, easy to get in and out there is even a light so you can turn left easily onto Big Bend if it's a busy traffic time. The people who work here are always super quick and friendly. I wish they had more vegetarian grab and go things here but their drinks are top notch!
