    I should have put a sarcasm face with my post.

    I'm so sick of this entitlement junk I can't stand it. Its an epedemic.

    J went bankrupt, partly because of the crap they had in their buffets. There's a reason I used to call it the Flying Laxative.

    Yeah I never had a problem with their food. Not the best but at least you didn't have to wait to be served. In and out.

    I hate Denny's, breakfast is ok at best but after that you can have them.

    What happened to Joseph?

    It's not like him to be quiet for too long, hope he's ok.

    Most of the buffets were running morning to night and not the wee hours before the merger, and a few stayed open longer, but they all have been changed. The buffet was a small part of the reason for the merger, Fuel price swings were the big kicker.

    Other sit down outlets that were in place, like 'The Big Steer' at Northfield, MN are still going. some of the Pilots had and have others. I haven't been through Clear Lake, lately, but that Denny's was there back when the truckstop was called Horizon and had a round fuel desk. They used to have a good local trade.

    Denny's has been getting less satisfying on the service in many locations, and I don't know what the reason is. Some are still worth it..
