Is the Flying J in Effingham ever not busy?

I was there yesterday afternoon and I did not have to wait for a pump. I have fueled there several other times and I don't recall having to wait for a pump. Maybe I just hit it at the right time...

 

I'd have much easier time putting up with how busy it is if they would just sell me some effing ham!!! (Ducks to avoid thrown DEF jugs)

 

They don't call Effingham The Crossroads of America for nothing. 57 and 70 are major interstates.

 

Interstate 57 shouldn't exist. It was a built to funnel traffic away from St.Louis by racist Chicago mafia affilliated neo communist trade unionists.

The loudest guy at the Petro lunch counter told me that and they are never wrong.

 

I'm sitting 25 miles from I57 right now. I spent a lot of time on 57 as kid traveling to see my grandparents in Wisconsin.

 

Considering its you. Im not surprised.

 

just wait til the weather gets bad, it's a wonderful place to fuel now compared to the middle of winter.

 

It sure makes a Chicago Memphs run a lot nicer!

 

It was MUCH better back when it was just a Huck's truck stop. When P/FJ bought the diesel side, it went to crap. First they removed the diesel desk so you have to walk AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the way through the #### place and wait in an under-staffed line to get your receipt or buy what you might need before getting back on your way...and they USED to let you refill your mug with the fuel purchase.

I still prefer it over the pilot or TA in town...but it ain't what it once was anymore.
