    got this from a driver friend on F/Book.

    This from a truck drivers sister in Wyoming, ("Just got off the phone with my brother (truck driver) who stopped in Danville, NY for dinner. The restaurant name is Country Pride, located at the TA Truck stop, Exit 5 on Highway 390. He was going to order a sandwich and cup of chili. They are charging $26 for a sandwich and cup of chili. Their defense was that they can charge what they want, as truckers don't have many other options. Sad that these truck stops are trying to make a killing off the truckers that are working round the clock to make deliveries!!!")

    A sandwich and cup of chili from a Country Pride was the first mistake. If this were true, a call to T/A corp would have been my first thought.
