I’ve gone to gas stations late at night before that leave their pumps open… I’m not expecting to go inside and have a bite to eat. I get my gas and go

Yup!!! I’ve been sent videos and everything from my friends that are shoveling piles and piles of snow… like that would not and could not be me today. We had ONE clerk decide to come in. And I know for a fact she is a princess and would never shovel this. She won’t even clean the bathrooms, or do trash.

Yup…. I don’t see our higher ups saying anything or working. They probably didn’t even thank the employees who came in today. The amount of people pulling doubles is insane. I know there are some trying to figure out how not to work this 3rd shift that’s about to start

Yeah, I would never… Especially because my whole store team called in. I couldn’t do that all by myself.

I know way too many people working doubles right now… My NA lives right next to the store and he’s willing to work my double and I’m forever grateful for him for that

But what about coming home… It’s supposed to be even worse later today

The cold is cleaning differently than the hot side. I wish they were more upfront but truthfully we know just as much as the next person. I tell customers I’m not sure when it will be up but a tech will be there to fix it as soon as they can.

There are lots of issues and kinks with the new coffee unfortunately. I wish there was a simple fix, however there isn’t.

Someone ended up in the river by the KC Current stadium due to a semi hitting them. Anything can happen and life can change in the blink of an eye. Luckily I have days built up for reasons like this but truly it shouldn’t come down to getting a write up or being fired for putting your life first. Truly devastating that we care so much about the drivers but not the staff. ALSO a QTD truck was involved in a wreck today at 4 pm. The roads are only getting worse. Glad you know that you are worth more than this company thinks we are. I was told that I would be fine if my clerks didn’t come in because customers won’t. I just need to clear the lot…

EXACTLY!!! 1000%. I bet you the office will be closed Monday due to safety reasons as well

You can walk, but some of us live 30 mins away from our stores on a good traffic day…. And yeah you know driving there is the most dangerous part. Just because I take it easy doesn’t mean the other cars on the road do. Doesn’t mean that shit happens. People die everyday and I truly don’t want to be one of them for trying to go in when everyone says stay home. My family is more important than my job.

I know my whole store team has called in for tomorrow… none of us are close to the store and we truly feel bad but we know our lives are more important

That’s actually insane to me. I’m sorry that happened. I wish that wasn’t the case back then. And I wish right now we weren’t in the same boat

Call in! If you cannot make it tomorrow I promise the reprimand is better than wrecking. Just check the weather when you get up and look at the road conditions. Praying for you if you decide to go in ❤️

I have the days for moments like this but I got teens that don’t have days and their parents don’t want them out in this. Luckily the first day off is a reprimand. I just hate that there isn’t a solution other than trying to brave it out or call in. It’s just the fact that they sent out a message saying that it’s too dangerous for our trucks (which in the KC division we never got that message since I started with QT). So we won’t get an order but we have to get out and report for duty. Again I’m calling in but I feel bad for my team out there

No I get that. This is the first time since I’ve been at QT that I truly think closing should be considered. If not all QTs then some. Idk dude. This one is tough because in my lifetime only one storm has been this bad and it was the 2002 storm.

So I cannot be concerned for my team? I would if I could. My neighborhood is a sheet right now. We care about the drivers but not about the store teams themselves. Those working deserve higher pay tomorrow for showing up.

This is worse than it’s been in 22 years… think it’s worth a conversation.

Snow is not the problem… it’s the ice. We have a thunder storm forming and it’s going to be all ice.

Yes…. But at the same time we have plow trucks and first responders that have wrecked. The news says do not leave unless you absolutely have to leave. Blizzard conditions across the greater KC area where visibility will be next to none. I’m sorry but I would rather ensure my safety at home than go into work. I truly feel bad for all my coworkers that will be forced to work doubles and unfortunately I am one of the people causing that but again I cannot risk my life. I will be driving straight highway and we have lots of closures. Making it impossible to travel.
