TA debuts new restaurant

“reimagined experience for professional drivers, motorists, and local residents,”

Does “reimagine” mean one is to imagine they’re standing in an entirely different place, when they’re actually still standing in the same ####hole?

 

If you steal the fork, and save a mini soap, you can magnetize one of the prongs, sit it on the mini soap, put it inside a coffee refill in one of those 164 ounce mugs, and make a compass.

 

And people wonder why us truckdrivers are so unhealthy...

 

Last time I was headed through Toledo and that was my stop it wasn't open yet so I had to settle for the Denny's and Pilot across the road. I was pissed at the time for another TA not having a restaurant, but if they were actually building out a replacement I'm happy enough.

Anybody else tired of all the truck stops replacing sit down restaurants with fast food crap?

 

Carl's Junior up the street had 2 for $5 Famous Stars a lot.

That was before Joe Bananas.

 

Who was the hipster dumb@$$ that came up with the name Fork And Compass?

And a mac & cheese bar, seriously?

 

This is a great chance to re-examine how incompetent the management of TA was/is.

They purchased the Quaker Steak & Lube franchise in 2015 for $25 million and they sold the same franchise in 2021 for $5 million.

The canary in the coal mine as to whether British Petroleum will actually improve TA is if John Pertchik, the CEO, stays or is asked to leave. If he stays, they’ll continue to be a giant cluster F but now just not facing imminent bankruptcy.
