A few stories people tell about this place

1. At QuikTrip late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only empty shelves and a cash register ringing up nothing. Suddenly, an old man in a trench coat appeared out of nowhere, smiled and whispered, ‘Just helping myself to some late-night snacks.’ The delivery driver nodded politely and said, ‘Next time use the vending machine!’

2. At QuikTrip early morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he heard a familiar voice from behind the counter. ‘Hey, pal,’ said the clerk, ‘do you mind if I borrow your truck for just five minutes? My car’s in the shop.’ The delivery driver smiled and nodded, thinking it was no big deal. Five minutes turned into fifteen, then twenty-five—before he realized his own shift was almost over! As he rushed back inside, the clerk waved goodbye, yelling, 'Don’t worry, man—it’ll be here when you get back!'

3. At QuikTrip one foggy morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he caught a whiff of something peculiar—a sweet, almost candy-like scent that seemed out of place among diesel fumes and coffee aromas. Curious, he followed his nose through the misty aisles until he found an open box labeled ‘candy-scented air fresheners.’ A regular customer from down the street walked in just then, commenting on how much better the smell was today. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was him—his own batch of homemade candies, accidentally packed instead of air fresheners. Ever since then, QuikTrip’s mornings are never quite as quiet or mundane.

4. At QuikTrip, a delivery driver once asked himself: ‘Why does every fifth customer here ask for exactly five dollars in change?’ Curious, he started keeping track and noticed something odd: on Fridays, when his neighbor picked up gas, she always paid with twenty-dollar bills—and took exactly five dollars back. Turns out, her dog only accepted quarters as treats! At QuikTrip, some mysteries are best left unsolved.
