    Where was it shot? And they seem to be focusing on the C-store and not the driver areas? Could it be that they are more interested in the four wheeler customer, methinks?

    Where? Somewhere in the midwest/south...look at the cigarette prices...over $5 anywhere in the west.

    Of course they are focusing on the C-store...that's the highest markup and best profit zone....common sense advertising on that note.

    Drivers area? When has Pilot really wanted the drivers to spend any quality time at the TV and why would they advertise something that is a no money maker? Drivers spend far less than the average 4 wheeler in those places. Truckers know about the showers/break lounge, they are attempting to draw the AM-PM and 7-11 customer away from their regular stops at those and come over to Pisslot/Hook.

    the advertising makes sense to me....I only stop at Pisslot for a thermos refill----NOTHING ELSE!

    Might it be because 4-wheelers generally have and spend more disposable income than us ever-so wealthy but extremely greedy trucker driverers?

    Since they didn't focus on it, I'll guess the laundry area will still have broken down washers or dryers, the driver's lounge will still have worn out chairs, the game room will still be outdated and the automated shower system printer will still be broken?
