    With everybody making their own coffee and meals in the truck no wonder these truck stops are having a hard time staying in business.

    NO KIDDING! It just sort of breaks your heart for the poor truck stop companies, don't it?[​IMG]

    Won't you join me, in a cup of coffee?[​IMG]

    For that price I think the only entitlement would be a complimentary ride with Juan on his Columbian donkey :yes2557:

    I went into a small truck stop the other day where they gave me free coffee even though I didn't buy fuel. (they didn't take comdata) Every truckstop is different, choose wisely.

    $2.89 will get me a half pound of green beans. Just gotta roast 'em.

    And I'd bet my spent grounds would make a tastier cup than that $2.89 cup.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    Op, when you start your own business you can run it however you'd like.

    Typical truckers feeling like they're entitled to things.

    Loves took over very few of their stores. It was mostly exits with multiple pilots.


    I mean wtf do you ppl want? Drivers whine about every single thing. Do you expect a handjob and a steak soon as you walk in? Get over yourselves.

    Just because you don't like the food doesn't mean everyone does... So if they catered to you specifically then it will be unfair to someone else who likes those places. GET OVER IT!!
