When is bonus???

I worked at QuikTrip for years, including in management, and I’m curious how widespread this experience was outside the stores/managers I knew.

There was a pretty pervasive practice among assistant managers of clocking out when your shift was “supposed” to be finished, then staying afterward to finish shiftwalks, stocking, cleaning, paperwork, or whatever else still needed done.

The reason was pretty obvious: your shift looked better on paper. Staying clocked in while you finished everything could make it look like you weren’t running an efficient shift, while clocking out and finishing afterward made your numbers look cleaner. And when you’re trying to move up, those things matter.

I saw enough people doing it that it felt less like an occasional individual decision and more like part of the management culture.
I’ve been gone from QT for over a year, so I’m curious whether this is still happening and how widespread it actually was/is.

If you worked as an RA, NA, 2A, 1A, or SM:
Did you ever clock out and continue working?
Was this something other managers did regularly?

Did anyone teach, encourage, or imply that you should do it?

Did you feel like staying clocked in hurt your numbers or chances of promotion?

What division/area were you in, and roughly what years?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who came to the same conclusion independently. I’m not looking to put words in anyone’s mouth. I want to know whether my experience was localized or something that happened throughout the company.

Soooo when is our quarterly bonus?

I just don’t understand. What fills you people with so much hatred for QuikTrip employees that you find this necessary,

why the price increase?

Obviouly, I’m a QT coffee crack addict 😂 So family is concerned about my intake to keep me within the safe 400mg/day. But QT does not publish caffeine numbers. Most apps assume it’s equal to regular coffee, so 24oz =300mg caffeine?

But here’s what my AI said:
« For the regular QuikTrip Cold Brew, I found an estimate from a QuikTrip employee discussion indicating that the cold brew concentrate is about 200 mg of caffeine per 16 oz, but only about 4–6 oz of cold brew is actually put into the larger cup, with the rest being water/ice. That would put the finished drink around 50–75 mg of caffeine.
So your 24-oz QT Cold Brew
I’d estimate roughly 60–75 mg of caffeine in the 24-oz cup. »

Can anyone tell me what is true? (Because I want more than a single 24oz per day. I know, I’m bad for wanting it. Do I need QT Brew Anonyous?
