Removal of buffets from Flying J Truck Stops

I was at the Flying J buffet at Exit 104 (Interstate 95) in Carmel Church, Virginia this past Saturday (10-11-2008) at 11 am.

I noticed: being waited on in five seconds or less. Shown to my seat. When I went to go get food I noticed a Flying J restuarant worker (who was not a wait person nor a kitchen staff) working with a cart of cleaning supplies. She was mopping off the surfaces of the buffet and of the glass in the sneeze shields. Never seen that before. As soon as my glass of sweet tea became empty, it was replaced with a new glass. Now, in terms fo the quality of the food ... the fried chicken needs help. I think it should have the word "Goodyear" branded onto each piece. I saw an item that I have never encountered before, "Turkey Pot Pie", it was very good. The salad bar, which I thought was the best in the truck stop industry did not have pickle spears or pickle chips this day. However, the peaches were excellent, just like eating them if they had been taken off of the tree right then and there. I think that drivers and others should go to the Flying J website, search for the most recent issue of the "Long Haul" magazine, find the article about the changes in the restuarant, and find the e-mail address listed in that particular article to let Flying J know what is good, bad or indiffernt with their food services.

 

Sorry about that icon showing up instead of the number eight. I don't know how that happens. It's supposed to be two thousand and eight for the year.

 

In that article about the new slant on food services that appeared in the October 2008 edition of Flying J's Long Haul magazine, they are getting a "new sheriff in town" at Food Services. I think she is going to shake things up and bring good things to Flying J restuarants in North America.
