Little things that make no economic sense like can I pay at the pump, how fast is the credit card processing if I go inside (they’ve gotten slower since chip credit cards are required), does the place have Apple Pay.

For instance my default is always choose a QuikTrip. No matter what part of town I’m in, the place is clean and friendly, they don’t act as if everyone who comes in is a potential robber, and they take Apple Pay.
