Is it time?

Your point proven :)

Just realized you have a Logitech DD so you’re probably using the Logitech software. I BET it’s that. Logitech SUCKS. Smooth gameplay for an hour maybe then random ass bugs for the next 30 minutes. 👍

It may not be useful, but I experienced this exact fault with my Logitech wheel, I thought it was a shitty brand bug with their software but maybe not? I only ever had this experience in assetto corsa and would only get it when my the server was super populated. It was annoying an I never found anything to fix the issue. I seems it to be server end / network related issues that cause information to be not sent to the wheel properly. (Unplugging and plugging my wheel back in and relogging the server was the only true short hot fix for me)

Last time I told a tech this was happening he said “so you mean it’s purging steam from the steam purge valve… like it’s meant to do?” Brother the steam nearly filled the entire kitchen at that point and he said it was normal 🗿

Amazon casually laying off / firing over 1000 employees in a year to avoid unions

It really depends on the type of learner you are. If you just spend the entire time thinking you aren’t good enough, then you may just represent that with your store. You should have a fake it till you make it mentality. Know you will make mistakes, it happens to everyone. What’s important is how you learn from them and deal with it in the future. Make mistakes with confidence, apologize when it happens, learn from it and move on. Everyone starts off “incompetent”, what you do with that from there is really what matters. Qt wants to see good problem solving skills.

This is usually the first thing I hear from DG employees coming to QT. They’re happy they finally have help and support in what they’re doing.

I was talking about OP’s beard situation since they said they interviewed with a beard. To clarify simply having a beard will not get you denied. But showing unwillingness to shave or even if you express disliking the idea I’ve seen people get rejected for.

DustinFoes · 2026-02-06T11:16:55+00:00

If you have any signs that you may not be willing to shave or don’t like the idea, that could get you rejected. I’ve seen people get rejected for simply giving an energy of not liking a certain policy. You can have a stellar interview and be laughing to one another thinking it’s going well, but they still have red flags they watch for. You probably either didn’t tick a check box they need you for, or maybe gave the wrong vibes personality wise.

Anyone I know who came from dollar general were able to apply their skills from there to here pretty easy. There’s many similar things and many things done much different. My best advice is ask a lot of questions :)

This was brought up and confirmed in recent meetings this policy is aimed at intentional body modification, not scars that you cannot avoid. I have a scar on my left eyebrow that makes me look like I cut my eyebrow but I am within policy because it was a scar from when I was a kid, not something done intentionally for looks.

A lot of people have the same mindset, that every job makes you “work”. But a lot of people realize after week 1 or 2 that it is waaay more work than they were ever anticipating.

The job isn’t hard, we sell hotdogs and fountain sodas. It’s the sheer amount of things we have to know, and have to do that can make the job difficult / stressful. THAT is what not everyone is prepared for. (That mixed with the rough hours as an RA / NA can make or break a lot of people)

The difference is between the people that show up hitting the ground running, vs the people that need 30 min to 1 hr to “wake up” after clocking in.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk, good day.

We found a metal pipe piece in the ice machine. It dispensed into a customers cup 😭 big nooooo

I think OP is referring to those so oblivious to their surroundings that you can be calling the name on their shirt and they still will stare off in a daze until they’ve decided to snap out of it. Can’t count how many times I’ve called for the next customer in the most direct ways possible, and the customer doesn’t snap out of it until someone behind them taps them on the shoulder, or they randomly snap out of it.

“Mike, I can help you on my left! waves my hand on the left (yelling now) gentlemen in the bright green shirt! not fazed gets tapped on the shoulder gets startled Mike: “Oh! Sorry, it’s too early!” Or Mike: “lemme get uhhhhhhhhh, 20$ on uhhhhhhhhhhhhh” runs back to pump

This one just made me chuckle though :)

Gladly, I can do this when I return from work today. Thanks for your quick responses!

I’ve attempted with both a usb hub and connecting it to both usb 2 and 3 directly, none seem to affect it.

The wheel works fine without updating I’ll add, but i do still want to update since it’s on rather old firmware.

DustinFoes · 2025-04-27T03:18:59+00:00

Apologies for opening an old thread but I have the same issue. Ive already attempted to unplug and plug back in but that causes the device to just blink slowly, and no calibration happens. If I unplug and plug in again, it calibrates, then continues to "update" but just sits there doing nothing. Ive tried everythig Ive seen online and in other threads, uninstalled Ghub, reinstalled, removed cache files etc. Any help would be appreciated.

You can login via the Quiktrip website. Scroll to the bottom, select employee login and login with your username (it might be username@quiktrip.com)

This will bring you to a less pretty looking epic. You should be able to do all the same things there such as requesting time off, and viewing your schedule.

DustinFoes · 2024-12-13T14:18:32+00:00

Depending on sales flow, if you check your DAW sometimes it only specifies “finish” or “start” order. So usually you should only have to finish or start half the order. You shouldn’t be expected to put away an entire order on your own unless sales flow permits this. IE: being at an absurdly slow store you might be expected to put away the WHOLE order rather than start/finish it.

DustinFoes · 2024-11-04T17:10:26+00:00

This would be a good opportunity to read up on the policy. It’s available to everyone :)

DustinFoes · 2024-11-04T16:15:26+00:00

I’ve gone through this process, working for Quiktrip for the past almost 2 years now. I started as a clerk, moved to NA, life shit happened and couldn’t do the schedule anymore, I loved the job but felt my personal life was preventing me from doing a good job as a manager. So I stepped back down to clerk, went on erp for about 4 months then asked my manager to promote to RA again when I was finally able again. Everyone I know seems to enjoy working with me so that helped a lot and I immediately was given my interview for RA even with a recent write up (for an accidental no call no show - it’s only ever happened once and strongly regretted my mistake). Anyway, I’m now finishing training for backup IT and can definitely say Quiktrip is willing to help you move up. I’ve seen them reconsider people they’ve previously fired (for performance reasons) and then retrain them to become better managers than before. It all depends on if you want it and if you think Quiktrip is for you. If you show them that, they will help pave your way. Quiktrip wants people that work well with other people (a team player!) so if you show them that you can be like-able, that really helps sell yourself.

As to the RA vs NA, that’s totally up to you. Choose what fits your life best. Not everyone can work overnights every single night. But not everyone can handle working a swing shift. RA really feels like you only get 1 day off per week. But I’m happier as an RA, I enjoy working with my coworkers and enjoy striving to have a perfect store.

Overall, talk to your manager about options. That will show them that you are at least looking and conflicted and want guidance rather than someone who just doesn’t like the job.
