    There is a witch who works in the deli at the Winn Dixie near me. I was in there one time and pissed her off. I think she put a spell on me because when I got home my beer just flew out of the bag all by itself. Don't mess with the Winn Dixie witch.

    One thing that is missed out of all of these comments is when in the heck does an employee have the right to assault a customer?

    They don't when they start crap.

    What should have been done is that they call their manager who should have called the cops after he refused to move - that's all they are supposed to do.

    I can't blame the driver because I wasn't there but it is obvious that the two employees need to be fired and Pilot needs to deal with the problems of assaulting its customers.

    I agree but who knows the manager could have been some young snot nose kid in incahoots with all the other employees.Driver should have moved when confronted about it better yet shouldn't have parked in a no parking zone but under no circumstances that's doesn't give the right to assult trk drivers.I think this employee took his anger too far.But on the flip side trk drivers better learn to read signs and quit taking them as only a suggestion.

    I sort of agree but again I'm going back to something that these truck stops miss and that is we buy fuel in large quantities which makes them good money. Without the purchase of fuel, they won't stay in business long.

    Pilot, who I have the opinion that the people at the top should have gone to jail for the fuel discount scam, seems to not care enough to hire good people, and it isn't in just some places but all over. In this case, it doesn't matter where he parked, he was out of the fuel isle and maybe out of everyone's way and there is no excuse for even the confrontation in the store, especially after the driver said he would move it. to take this to another level shows the lack of management skills and that is a reflection of the company itself.
