    Lol, there are few Pilots I can think of you could drink 2 cups while waiting in line for your receipt. It must be a tough job to punch buttons on a computer huh?

    Unless you have driven then you say that. Don't know anyone that can't use a computer.

    My vote is None of the Above. Little America stands above all.... :D .... marble showers, real leather sofas and easy chairs in the TV room, wide selection for shopping,....

    One of my gripes is when they don't have a dedicated fuel desk. All those truckers trying to activate pumps or get their receipts need to stand in line behind folks buying cigarettes, pizza, etc. These particular stops also seem to have the worst fuel pump etiquette, truckers bailing out to get their Subway's while their truck is still at the pump, or not even in the pump yet....

    I just realized that TA and Petro are the same. At least as far as the reward program goes. UltraONE. Any secrets to get the most points for Showers, drinks or you name it?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    TA/Petro is my favorite, better showers and food. Pilot/Flying J are bad, but since my company buys fuel there....
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
