“6 Out of 5 Stars – Late-Night Legend at Quick Stop ???
Pulled up to Quick Stop around 3:30 a.m. for some candy and left with faith in humanity restored.
I grabbed three candy bars, and when the total rang up over three bucks, I said, “Hold up—sign says two for three!”
The guy looks at me, cool as can be, and goes, “OK.”
I march over, point at the sign like a courtroom exhibit, and again—he just goes, “OK.”
No fuss. No ego. Just a man with legendary math skills who instantly prorated the third candy bar, refunded me the difference in cash, and dodged the hassle of a card refund like a seasoned pro.
Later, I realized I had actually misunderstood the deal and should’ve paid more.
But he never made me feel bad. He just treated me with respect and kindness—something I honestly don’t get often, especially when I’m vulnerable or anxious.
So I came back a few minutes later, bought two more candy bars, and then handed him back $20 as a Christmas gift.
Not for the candy.
But because he treated me like a person—when so many others have treated me like a problem.
That’s not just customer service.
That’s humanity.
I’ll go out of my way to support this place now—because businesses that treat people this well?
Deserve everything good.

“thank you so much for ur help Daniel, you’re always working really hard. You have made this establishment the best gas station in Santa Cruz. Steve didn’t make a mistake in making a general manager. Great job.”
“The Good Rx program is amazing. Even with health insurance my medication is expensive. My doctor told me about Good Rx and now I can purchase the medication I need for under $30.”
“Very fast and friendly service.Respectful and cordial to customers, lounge outside for enjoying the goods purchased from the establishment. Recycling bin separate from garbage pail. COVID free, and NOT subject to flooding. Fresh products.”
“It was nice to sit out on the patio. It had been a couple years since I was there. The clam chowder was really delicious, the linguine and clams was not. I was really disappointed. I would go back for For a glass of wine with friends not sure that I would order dinner again”
“Located off of California Ave & Walk this market is the oldest in Santa Cruz.
Currently owned by the Kim family please stop on by at your convinence!”

“Would go again, workers are always super nice (literally got complimented on my hair by the cashier which was cool), prices are decent for a convenience store, and place is always clean”
“My shoes broke one night and I didn't have enough cash to buy another pair of flip flops so the worker went to the back and gave me a pair of shoes so I'd have to walk around barefoot that's great customer service and thank you for looking out for your customers”

“Standard everyday Chevron with several pumps and a mini-mart. Nice people clean and calm. Easy stop and go from the highway 1 exit to Bay Street. I'll be back.”
“The staff here is amazing. They are beautiful, kind women who value customer service above all things. I had a photo order issue and they resolved it for me no questions asked and made me feel respected and valued by doing so. We need more people like them running stores. Every customer they came into contact with they made small talk with and ask if they needed help. You could see the impact of their service on the customers' faces. They felt taken care of, something that's become more and more rare as time goes on. Thank you SV CVS for all you do and those you help!”

“What a wonderful, hard working crew! Always courteous, willing to help, smiles in their faces! Always clean! Coffee, slushees always wonderful! The cooked food always looks yummy and appetizing! I shop there almost every day!! Love it! 5 stars! Keep on doing the great job! Thank you Capitola, ca 7-11!!!!”
“It's a generic gas station mini mart but they do it right. The beer selection is decent as well as the snacks. The best part is the eclectic mix of employees. The characters that work here always entertain me. Always overly friendly, always a bit eccentric and definitely part of the neighborhood. I love going here. My one complaint is that the rasta looking guy tipped me off that the Mexican chocolate popsicles were addictively good and now I realize they are always out of stock. I feel like a junkie always looking for my fix. Order more dammit! Lol”

“My favorite CVS! Everyone here treats us like family. The customer service is superb, and as a disabled customer that means the World to me! They have the hardest working Managerial Staff & Pharmacists anywhere, & they are geniuses at finding what I'm looking for. They do an Amazing job, especially when one considers that they are a smaller store. This CVS is our hidden gem in Rio del Mar!”
“My favorite place in SV to get gas. Using their app saves $0.10/gallon and frequently $0.20/gallon. Good selection of snacks. Lots of soda flavors in the fountain, including diet Coke and even Pepsi (yuck). The staff are super friendly. The only negative thing is I have not won the lottery yet... Probably not their fault.”

“Great customer service, they were very accommodating and were willing to answer any questions I had for them! I'm not entirely sure on why this place only has two stars but even the ambiance is very social and everyone is super friendly. The food options are a lot more vast than other places I've noticed and it's fresh!”
“Best gas station in town. Always has prices that are way lower than all of the other major gas stations even though it's in a very prominent location (frequently 30 or 40 cents cheaper than places down the road). The only downside is that it's kind of difficult to get out of the parking lot, especially if you want to turn left to go to 17 or 1 south”
“I went to see a friend, and she came here to get her gas tank filled. She told me that there comes a point in life when you have to give credit where credit is due. Even to the gas station. She even told me that the prices at Quick Stop gas station are always lower than the other places nearby, and the cashiers are always friendly, and it's conveniently located between her workplace and home. As a result, expect a lot of traffic in this station at all times. She had no idea how they kept the place so cheap, but you can't go wrong even if you're a brand loyalist. We had a good time there and even bought some snacks to enjoy on the road. I would highly recommend this gas station if you are in Soquel area.”
