Pilot/Flying J confusing about their Prime Parking spots

They're a business, they're dishonest about everything.

 

Pfj can go screw themselves.. last week I stopped at the pilot in Rochelle Illinois to grab a shower I reserved a shower via the app and while waiting as I was number six in line the system malfunction and kicked me out of the queue and when I turn around and went to the fuel gas to report the problem their response was we can give you another shower if you don’t know your pin number which you never gave me a pin number because I was too far down line for it to assigned me one and when I informed them that that was my last shower credit they said well then you’ll just have to buy one… Much to say I told them to go to hell and walked out…corporate also ignorant my complaint online as well..

 

You should have asked for the manager. Truck stops comp showers all the time.

 

They're trash from the top down J Haslam is a scumbag with a history of ripping off drivers. He also was very close to going to federal prison over it. So much do he listed a majority share of ownership of the cleveland browns in his wife Dee's name.

 

I won't say I don't buy anything from pfj but they are definitely near the bottom of my list for vendors the last 10 years or so ...and yeah Jim Haslam is a crook that weaseled his way out of prosecution.

 

Paid off one of his minions for not snitching on him and going to prison in his place.

 

In 1977, when Pilot was a southeastern regional trashy fuel stop on the level of Bingo(remember them?) I knew they were crooks.
I stopped for fuel in Knoxville, not too far from HQ. Back then the pumps were slow, they used 2 of them, one for each side, and they pumped it for you..
Common to buy 100 gallons( $70 worth, try that today), most trucks had 75-100 gallon tanks on each side.

The "attendants" would leave the hose hung on the pump from the previous sale of like 50 gallons But NOT on the usual place which would reset the pump. They would engage you in small talk while they put the nozzle in your tank, but it already registered the 50 gallons. the other pump was used normally.
Typically they shorted the passenger side tank, knowing the gauge was on the driver side, which would get filled. You wouldn't realize you got scrxwed until you got down the road a ways and the tanks equalized. No way to prove anything.

Net effect, they only really pumped 50 gallons, charged you for 100. $35 stolen each sale. If the attendants were good at it they could get 4 or 5 sales like this in a shift, stealing $150 from drivers. Of course the shift manager was aware of what was going on, probably got a cut. This is when minimum wage was $2.25 an hour.

Pure thievery. I caught them at it. they plead ignorance. Bull.

 

Pfj don’t care..that’s why they suck

 

I mean, there was that whole $72M class action lawsuit from the fuel rebate fraud scheme they perpetrated.
