Ultimately this is a reminder of how nice convenience stores are in IA. We have a few Kum & Gos and QTs out in CO, but the bulk are your Circle K, 7-11 types. I’d kill up to 3 people to get a Kwik Star nearby
What’s going at Casey’s?

From an August 23 Email:
"Starting in October guests will earn double points on every pizza they order – including small, medium, and large pizzas, plus original crust, thin crust, and our gluten-free crust. And you can still redeem your points however and whenever you want: for fuel discounts, a school donation, or for Casey's Cash and MORE PIZZA!
This additional benefit for Casey’s Rewards members means there’s no more waiting to be rewarded. You get what you want right away! As a result of this change, we will be ending our current version of the Pizza Box Tops program after September 30, 2023. You can learn more about the details of this transition on our website."
Now, I didn't click for the details. guess I should check it out before jumping to conclusions.
And before they switched to the current system it only took 9, because there was a ticket on your free one, so it was a head start.
Corporate has made plenty of head scratching purchases in the past, spending millions on contraptions that don’t work and eventually are ditched.
Your holding that decision maker in too high of standard. It probably just took a single steak dinner.
Pretty typical. No pizza or crappy pizza. Stores always a mess. If the card reader works it wont print a ticket. Cannot wait until Quick Star gets to town.
This is true. Take a road trip through New Mexico, though. It's even worse than Colorado.
This is my biggest gripe. When I'm travelling I no longer even attempt to go into a Casey's for a slice of pizza knowing 90% of the time its going to be empty, or one piece that's been sitting there for what looks like hours.
You can't expect people to want to come in to get a slice so you can put out more of a rotation when its never there anymore. I feel bad for the stores that probably do a good job of the pizza by the slice because I'm gonna blow by them.
This comes up every time Casey's is discussed but it's true.
I still get the pizza when I visit for the routine/nostalgia and it's still the same pizza but the service and stores have gone way downhill while Kwik Trip/Star have improved. I also think their customer service is much more competent.
I still think the food at Casey's is pretty decent, but I'm mostly butt hurt that they discontinued made-to-order subs (which blew Subway out of the water at one point), and I just hate their overall customer service so much that I try to avoid them when convenient.
That’s is if you only get rewards for pizza. But we punch in our number for gas and other purchases, and also use them for free pizza and we always have a ton of rewards anyway. Frequently save them up until we have lots of people around and then get lots of free pizzas.
We have five gas stations nearby and four of them are Casey’s so I don’t see this dramatically impacting our lives.
400 posts yearning for the good ole days - nostalgia is a powerful psychological force!
I remember casey's being crappy 30 yrs ago - not many in my area these days but, newsflash, they're still crappy.
