RaceTrac is my fav!!

RaceTrac is my all time favorite place to stop for a Diet Coke (fountain style, of course).

Bobby calls it my usual watering hole. We have to stop there on the way home from his parent's house each and every trip. It even works late at night since they have caffeine free Diet Coke. You can even choose crushed or cubed ice. The employees are always so friendly, the parking area well lighted, and I just really like the layout of the store. I know this sounds strange but it just makes me happy to stop there.

I really don't stop at our local store that often. It is not quite as fabulous as the one in Orlando but today the kiddos really wanted to stop for one of their frozen drinks. I happily agreed. When we were ready to pay I accidentally knocked Kaylea's frozen drink off the counter. It fell all over me, Mason and all the gum and candy underneath the cash register. I think I went into shock!!

I just stood there and continued to count out the correct change while the frozen, sticky drink soaked through my pants and puddled in my croc flipflops.

I looked over at sweet little Mason and he was covered. It was all over his shirt, face and legs and he was crying. He looked so pitiful. I just had to bend down and give him a big sticky and cold hug.

I was afraid to look up at the lady behind the counter but have no fear because she was not even upset. In fact she was overly nice. The manager rushed to get a mop and all the while assuring me that it was all OK. Complete strangers shopping in the store also came to my assistance. One man directed me to the restroom and another man found the napkins.

It was such a nice experience. Even thought I left the parking lot with ice cold and wet pants, I had a smile on my face. Isn't it nice to know that there are good people still in this crazy world.

I think I need to corporate RaceTrac and tell them how much I love them.
