    I am one of the "little guys" Flying J made it quite clear that they did not want to do business with me when they stopped taking my Visa debit card for fuel. I didn't care for their crappy food and dumb parking lot layouts anyway. I guess you can tell, I don't like flying j very much. I have not spent a dime there in quite a while.

    Yeah, I prefer Flying J's for a number of reasons and I loathe pilots... I'd have preferred TA bought Flying J as I am kinda worried what won't be there anymore when I have time to go to a Flying J next.

    I almost never stop at a J. I've heard things from employees about what lurks at the bottom of their coffee pots that haven't been cleaned in months. I don't even drink coffee but that's disgusting.

    I've worked in fast food, long ago, I know what's in those spigots. I know what's in the bags behind the wall and under the bench seats too. I'll stick to bottled stuff.

    Don't eat at the buffet any more either.

    I didn't usually eat at a buffet unless it was last resort. Now I DO NOT eat a buffet.
    Heres why. I was in the restroom of a T/S washing my hands. As I was drying them a person comes out of the stall and heads straight out the door. I was going to the restaurant to eat and followed him. He makes a bee line for the buffet, grabs a plate and commences to fondling about 3 of the biscuits before selecting number 4, and moving on to the hot dishes.

    NEVER again do I eat a buffet.

    I like it when I'm eating and observing the people helping themselves at the buffet, and there is a 5 year old pawing the food and drops something on the floor and puts it back in the container, all this while Mommy is right there next to him/her. Real classy people. :biggrin_25512:

    Funny how we apply different standards to different environments.

    If you were at a big church picnic you'd eat everything with flies and gnats buzzing all around and no sneezeguards.

    the only pilots i've ever liked are the ones in montana that double as town pump. those lots are big and you can pretty much park however you want as long as you're not blocking anybody.
