    TA and Petro are owned by the same company.

    With TA, if you order a dinner, you can visit their soup and salad bar.
    (which is good because I really like their chicken noodle soup)

    With Petro, if you order dinner, it includes ONE TRIP to the soup and salad bar.

    ...why the restriction?

    An "unhealthy" level of appetite perhaps?

    that looks like the guy at Subway yesterday who ordered TWO footlong "Big philly cheese steak" subs and was mad because they wouldn't do double meat on them :biggrin_25521:

    Sequoia,

    I called the food boys on this one. Both brands have unlimited trips to soup and salad bar under this scenario. We may have some bad wording out there that creates this confusion. They are investigating.

    CaptainQ, Who's bright idea was it to take out the coffee makers and install the concentrated crap that they have now here at the T/A in Baltimore store.

    You know that so called coffee that comes liquid in a box and just pull the handle and it mixes with hot water????

    On the Petro menus I've seen, it was stated "...and one trip to the soup and salad bar" which to me obviously means you just go up there once and get your soup and salad and that's it.

    Just put a sticker over the words "one trip to".

    Sounds to me like he wanted to double the already doubled meat.
