    Re: Bad news for Flying J fans

    The restaurants turning into Denny's might not be such a good thing. I believe the Denny's motto is "Our food is good but our service sucks" I like eating at Denny's but rarely get good service there, BTW both Denny's in Fort Wayne closed down years ago, probably due to the bad service.

    Re: Bad news for Flying J fans

    and there is the conection those resturants that the j closed down are the ones you could sit for half an hour before being served. so instead of fixing that problem they just closed them

    That's funny.
    You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
    You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
    You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
    You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
    You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
    You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
    You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

    Smile Re: Bad news for Flying J fans

    Maybe a bright spot for Flying J fans would be that under Pilot management, the love affair with the RV. crowd will be over, and Expeditors will be welcomed as trucking professionals.

    Too many Flying J's catered to the RV crowd.

    Just My Opinion

    Don't be planning on parking your C unit out front or using the RV pumps for fuel too soon .
