    Oh yeah.. I really want to go back to corporate,, I kinda want to get involved with the marketing team.. Thats really my interest right now.
    But not a bad company, They take care of you thats for sure aslong as your shit is right.

    I worked for QT before I went to Racetrac.. I started at QT when I was 16 PT and started going to college.. Saw the potential in the Retail business.. left college went full time with qt when I was 18, Became a 2nd assistant with them, back in 97 made 38 k that year, at 18 thats alot of $$$ Thats the lowest Income I have earned since.
    But QT had to much politics for me.. RT offer more money.. and damn they are much more laidback and take more care of you.

    Cruise rd still rocks.... My store is smaller then that one, so just imagine and is in the ghetto. Tuff luck for me. lol

    Yeah man, retail is not for everyone, I really enjoy it though fast pace.. you have to be on your P's and Q's at all times and When I leave the store I dont have to worry about shit, I try to develop my employees to handle everything or any situation that comes up.
    Also the pay is tight atleast at my level.
    I know Clerk pay is nothing to brag about but it competetive for that market.

    it was hard at first i was use to small gas staions i worked at in florida,so i figured racetrac would be the same,man i was wrong it took some time to keep up with the other guys working there.i dont think people give gas station clerks enough credit its not as easy as they might think to do that kind of work.
    yes i am....
