    It's quite apparent the cheapest chain to add to a truck stop is Subway. I for one have had enough. A Moe's Southwest Grill would be fantastic. But no. It's 5 dollar footlongs that cost 11 to taste right and your clothes smell like swamp yeast to boot. I understand economics, but it doesn't have to taste bad and leave you smelling funny.

    Full service truckstops would top off the tanks and do a truck wash while you grabbed lunch and sat in the restaurant.

    yeah not what he is talking about. He thinks people who eat fast food are obese. All you can eat buffet at TA and Petro sucks.

    I did see another Black Bear Diner being built in the Kingman, Arizona TA. The only other I know of is in Barstow.

    Not to be rude but, it's not 1983 anymore. Punch out at 4? Try 6, after starting at 8. Paying insurance and SS your generation voted in, dealing with depressed wages due to labor you invited to the workforce, and then being called a slacker for noting that your generations fixation on share values - everyone's an investor! - has destroyed the dollar.

    Everything is "go, go, go" to pay the bills your generation racked up and continues to create.

    Be careful with that left knee. Medicare may run out before you can get it replaced, blowing in one surgery more than you ever put into the system.

    Jesus Boomer Christ. Off at 4. Go get checked out - on Medicare, of course. You have dementia.

    Oh? Wife at home? Nah, man. Your generation created feminism, and halved the value of labor.
    She's at work, too. With what you did to the dollar daycare takes a full time job, too.

    So, like, the same model and cost they're moving away from; just with a grill instead of a griddle over the gas.

    You're in the wrong business, bud.
