Poor treatment of employees and now frozen cake donuts gives little incentive to patronize
The homemade cake donuts and handmade pizza dough always put Casey's above the rest. That being said, a combination of low pay and ill treatment of store employees in stark comparison to employees outside of the store (truck drivers, admin, etc) who are treated like gold, means that even in small towns turnover is extremely high. It is not unusual to know every employee one day and the next have a whole new crew. This means employees are overworked, underpaid and often not the friendliest. Now, despite being one of the few companies able to continue thru the pandemic, they decided to cut more corners and no longer make homemade cake donuts, they made a change to frozen, which you can literally get anywhere. There is no point in paying their high price for subpar donuts. Next will probably be the pizza dough... As a lifelong patron, I can no longer justify the cut corners, prices and treatment of their front line workers. Sadly I will be taking my business elsewhere.
