The Sad Destruction of Flying J by Pilot- catering to cars

Bob says...

 

But do you know what the cook is doing in the kitchen????

 

Ick.

But regarding the Flying Hook. I have stopped going to them overall with the exception of a few: Albuquerque, Ogden, Lake Station and Barstow. And I try to make my stay at Barstow as short as possible. Reasons: The food usually was awful, served cold or not cooked right; most of the J's have dark parking lots and therefore have riff-raff hanging around; I'm trying to remember which J had a parking area that actually made sense..............Albuquerque, maybe..... but usually you have to blindside back into a tight spot with trucks sticking out into the alley on the other side....;(back to the list) the showers leak or are old and/or dirty; in the driver lounges you have a choice between the chair that smells like a mule or the one the last guy peed in; the paper products are usually out in the bathrooms....

I stopped at the J in Dodge City. Ordered a steak. Do ya' think they should know how to cook steak in Dodge City? I would hope they would in that famous cow town. I ordered a well-done sirloin and got Steak Tartare. (For those unfamiliar with French cuisine, that's French for "Cut it off the cow and slap it on a plate with some garnish.") I returned it to be cooked and received one that still bled when poked. The wait staff was rude and difficult to nail down for more than two seconds, so I gave up and ate the edges of the steak. When the waitress finally asked me how it was (between calls and texts on her phone) she noticed I had not eaten the middle. She asked why. I merely raised an eyebrow, poked the steak with my fork and said, "Mooooooo...."

My overall experience with Flying J has not been too positive. While I can think of a lot better choices than Denny's, there are some healthy choices on their menu. And just about anything will be an improvement over what I have seen thus far.

 

Maybe she can box some ears too.......you know; the guys who don't lift the seat and piss all over the place?

 

flying j had the worst coffee followed by loves

also anybody that uses that nasty farmers brothers coffee

 

Frankly truckers cry worst than kids anyway.. All this is why I stay away from T/A's, Pilot's and flying J's generally I found most of them dirty by my standards, I refuse to use there showers there just nasty. Our terminal has a driver shower so does several of our customers. add that to the fact I criss cross past or near the house I can normally do without them. I have been know to rent a room a Whiskey Pete's.

We fuel at Pacific Pride, CFM and also have a unused Pilot Card....

 

I make own coffee, better that way.

 

ive never seen a pilot with a dennys FYI.

now that i can buy fuel wherever i want so long as they take comdata, i will be going to TA, petro, or loves and independants for fuel if i can (but never loves with subway only LOL haaateee)

 

i use to dislike petros too but they seem to be switching to dunkin donuts at least some of em

 

Atleast its food that doesnt act like its healthy when it aint. It just aint!

One time i went to a dunkin donuts and got a dozen donuts...I was gonna give them to my dispatchers and load planner, however...they didnt make it to the office. i ate them all. I felt soo bad...haha.

Anyway, it just pisses me off how subway acts like theyre healthy...it aint.


Also, i was looking at the title of this post again and thinking..What exactly does distruction mean? Ive never heard that word before.
