“The idea of reviewing a Pilot truck stop in Weed, California, is sorta’ ludicrous when you think about it. It is a truck stop. It is in Weed. But I have been coming here for over two decades. Never have I left in a tizzy because my “experience” was not what I was expecting. Then again, I know what to expect when I stop at a truck stop in Weed. It appears others don’t understand where they are. Some of these negative comments are just amazing. Lady Petals, you do realize you are reviewing a Subway (an independent business in a truck stop)? What are you thinking? Pick the right target or pick another place to order a meal (or both). Paige, you seem to have a motor home. And you take really damning photos . . . of a truck stop in Weed. Have you considered investigative journalism? A. M., where did you get your law degree? But I get it. The world of debit is a hard one and this can cause problems. Just don’t act like you are about to stage a trial. It makes you come off as one of those ‘traveling’ citizens who don’t need to abide by normal practices. Memmen, I think your review is a pretty good one, insofar as it explains what a concept like “projection” means. Bonus points for the Warren reference (even if you needed to also mention Roark Capital to make some of your finely tuned invective stick). Nuff sed. This is a place to stop and get gas. Use the restroom. Buy some stuff, if you want to do so. And ask yourself: if you worked at the Pilot, or the Subway in the Pilot, in Weed, California, how likely is it that you are in a good mood? Sure, I have dealt with some stressed workers. I have also dealt with some that seemed a touch odd. But I have also interacted with some that were in a great mood and doing what they do, as all of them do, for a paycheck. Glad this place exists. I will keep stopping here. I also will keep my attitude in check. Why? Who gets an attitude at a truck stop or a Subway in a truck stop?!?! Flex much? Thankfully, you can use a mirror in one of their bathrooms to . . . well, you know, look in the mirror. Geesh.”

“The clerk was really nice. The items in the food mart were slightly overpriced, but can't complain when there's nothing around. I'm about to neck all these snacks on this 5 hours drive though”

“Staff was extremely helpful when I came to buy a USB C charger to use in the car and told me to get the $10 one that he uses himself rather than the $20 one I was looking at,, promising it does fast charging even though the labeling wasn't clear. He was right. Friendly, honest, and great prices and huge selection of supplies.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
