Tell us a quick story about a time you provided awesome customer service:

"One thing we do that not too many other place may do is provide a little extra delivery service. Quite often, we have stopped at the store at the corner for our customers, we will bring them pretty much anything they sell at the convenience store. We just tack the actual cost onto the food order and let the customer “take care of the driver” as far as any additional tip may go. There are quite a few of our customers the get a regular c-store pick-up along with their regular food orders on a weekly basis."
