q's
They need u's
Q's is the plural of the letter Q: Mind your p's and q's.
That phrase means to be careful about details or manners—possibly from the similarity of lowercase p and q, or from bartenders tracking pints and quarts.
Q's also appears in references to multiple Q scores, Q tips, or other Q-named items.
