I and a companion visited the closest Pilot gas station to my house in Salisbury, NC - which is 985 Peeler Road yesterday, 11/5/23, at approximately 8:30am. Upon getting what we wanted, we went to pay for our items. Initially, the clerk rang everything together, assuming we were paying together. When we told her that we were not paying together, she seemed agitated.

When my companion asked for a pack of cigarettes to add to her order, she did not expect to have to show her ID. She turned and asked if I had my ID. The clerk immediately said I can't sell them to you (speaking to me). I asked why not. She said to me, "I'm not supposed to, it's the law". "No it's not", was my response. She then took every patron who came in behind us, at a different register, not even moving to complete the…

I went in to buy some items after eating at Dennys which by the way was just as bad. Upon ringing up my purchase which did include cigarettes the cashier was very rude and unprofessional and made a joke at my expense which everyone got a laugh out of except for me. I understand that working in the service industry that you deal with all kinds of people, but I did nothing to bring this behavior on all she had to do was tell me the price I don't even require a thank you.

Told to leave not asked. I was on a reset and your parking attendance told me to leave rudely. They said they had several trucks coming in that they wanted to provide parking for. They told me I could park in the ditch. Very rude.

Unless I get a response with a resolution I'll never stop or fuel at a flying j again. I still had 7 hours paid for my parking spot. Very upset about this.

I just went and got gas and air in my tires on St George Utah and after paying 2 dollars for air it let 7 lbs out of my tire instead of putting it in. No gauge on the machine.

I called and got no help from the person inside. What a dangerous rip off. Southern most flying j off the 15 in St. George.

Pilot Flying J on 11 Mile Road Battle Creek Michigan is absolutely horrible with customer service everyday I go there there is a line to the bathroom they spend more time loading up chicken wings and food at 6:00 in the morning then they do worried about the line that goes almost all the way to the bathroom nobody acknowledges that you're there or even looks at you that place is terrible it shouldn't take 15 minutes standing in line to pay for $20 in gas and

one coffee somebody needs to do something about that there were three employees one was running a cash register the other one was putting chicken wings up and didn't even acknowledge the huge line The Other Woman I a little understand was setting up a third register but what's the point of the second register if nobody is using it?…

I stopped at the Pilot on Pearblossom Hwy. In Littlerock California and walked up to order a sub sandwith at Subway. The girl was serving another customer and no one else was there to order. " I said yes and she said, " The line is over here," where her friends were standing.

So she was going to serve them first. Im not going to wait for that so I left. She knew i was next. Very disrespectful.

while visiting the store in Pecos,tx . Jesus the front manager was talking to one of the cashiers very sexual inappropriately. she had a scare looked to her face while he was talking to her. I was not sure if it was because my daughter passed by and might of heard or because she was just uncomfortable in general.

Food also looked old as if it had been there for days (the store was still a flying j) They really need new mangment there asap

There are several customers waiting for a shower at 5Am on August 17th at store 655 Spiceland IN. The issue is that all of the showers are vacant and not cleaned. When the issue is brought to the female employee attention that was supposed to be cleaning the showers, she got an attitude and said she's off in an hour so the next shift will do it.

Paul happen to come in early went out of his way to help to diffuse the situation.

At your Varner and Ramon Road location in Palm Desert. We were rudely told to leave the store after we were less than five minutes in there shopping your manager, Jessica was the rudest, most unprofessional and offensive person I have ever met. You will be hearing from the Better Business Bureau, and possibly the ACLU.

An employee (Dania Ramiro) at 1132 Pilot Travel Center has been rude and aggressive towards customers and me and towards her work team in front of everyone. When I asked to speak to a manager she wouldn't reply and continue to laugh so I notified her that I'll be going to corporate, she continued not to care so I'm asking for something to change since this isn't the first time this has happened.

I visited your higginsville Missouri location and all I can say is wow... I know I was in a truck stop my gosh the filthy and vulgar language that came out what I think was one of your main managers mouth I have two children ages 5 and 7 that should have never heard the language.

For her to be the one running the store she sure didn't look like she had control her things I actually seen her treating her fellow employees rudely. At the same time she was on the intercom same time she was on the intercom at the store telling drivers to move their trucks or they were going to get towed.

What happened to respect a good customer service. She continued to go in the office and we can hear that word coming out of her mouth while we were at the register please check your employee Abby we will not…

He explained the job details and asked if I could perform such duties to which I replied that I could and would go above and beyond to complete the job duties to which he told me I was hired to come in the next morning and

speak with the lead maintenance man(Billy). to which I arrived at the store 30 minutes early the next morning. Billy(Lead Maintenance) to which he politely greeted me and showed me where everything was and explained what my responsibilities would be for the position I was hired for.

I recently stopped in the Flying J in Rawlings, Wy. There was absolutely nothing to eat, Dennys was closing at 10 pm and the hot food from the deli was completely gone. I asked if more was being made and was told that no more food would be available due to lack of staffing.

Truck drivers are your lifeline and without them you wouldn’t exist. Your quality of service has reached a new low and I will no longer patronize your facilities. You are no longer worthy of it.

I was in your Marianna FL location on July 10, and the employee Felicia is the rudest person I've ever had dealings with. I asked her question and it was like I was bothering her. I turned and walked away and got about 3 or 4 feet away and heard her say " Asshole".

I just walked out . I travel alot and go into flying j stations when there around. I will never go back into that one again.

Instead of putting food in your stores that's good for diabetics or anyone else for that matter you put in soup for truck drivers to travel down the road with, not to mention it full of things a diabetic , heart patient or anyone else with issues should be eating as well as taking out all the restaurants. The only reason any of us stop at flying j is because you have parking and even that isn't worth it due to most of your parking is pay to park. We spend enough on your fuel.

My husband had his charge card hacked many times when going to the Flying J Pilot in Northeast MD regularly years ago. The male store manager went through the gas pumps with my husband on a weekday and didn't find any illegal scanners.

I haven't used that gas station for many years because of the charge card hacking my husband went through. Recently I used their pump on a Saturday. The next day, not having used that charge card since, the card showed illegal activity.

I am currently waiting for a new one. After discussing the illegal activity with the fraud prevention officer, I called that pilot on a Sunday. I told the employee that answered the call the reason I was calling. She said they have a limit on how much can be charged at the pump, though that did not apply to my concern.

While making a cigarette purchase I had forgotten to bring my drivers license with me. I ran back retrieved my license and returned to complete my purchase. The elderly cashier at your Flying J #749 in Ruther Glen, VA begans referring to me as a "little boy".

I wasn't going to make a big deal over it. I told her that using that type of language towards a person of color could be assumed offensive and disrespectful. It could potentially create a suit in which the corporation that employed her is opened to an unnecessary liability issue.

The manager standing next to her responds by saying "Pilot has great lawyers for situations like that ". I'm in disbelief that something like this was said aloud and seemingly encouraging poor unprofessional language, attitude and behavior while customer…

About an hour ago at 2015 W Lucas St Florence, SC 29501 looking around store and picking out merchandise. I haven’t been in this pilot in a little over a year so I was looking and picking out cool gadgets for my kids and something for my sister in the hospital.

99 or 3 for 10. So as I went through them and picked three pair out I was trying to straighten the shelf back up when an officer tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to walk outside with him and put everything down.

I almost started crying in front of a store full of people. I was humiliated and embarrassed. I have never been this embarrassed in my whole entire life. After telling the officer I wasn’t from Florence and I use to work at pilot I’m latta South Carolina I was still told to leave for idk what reason.

Store 394 and most north east Pilots

The fuel islands and pumps in bad need of repair. Newburg NY, I had to wait over an hour just to get to the fuel pump, then the keyboard on the pump wouldn't work. It wouldn't allow me to enter the code for the app and took five tries for it to take my cards. Most Pilots have been having this issue for over 6 months.

It's time for Pilit to repair thes issues.

Paige Tx, absolutely the worst and most disrespectful staff ever. Not one person speaks English. Rude, downright mean af! Went to get shower and was yelled at. Told me in broken English to come back later, they aren’t clean. Go go go. What a joke.

You people need to understand who keeps you in business. I will never stop here again, and actually will make sure I stop using pilots all together. This is after being denied help with my loyalty card, and paid for parking with 20 minutes of standing waiting on them to stop yelling in what I assumed was Arabic or something to each other.

Lounge is subpar, tv doesn’t work. Worst stop I’ve ever made.

Store 594. Sioux City IA. 3/18 0500 shower was cold. Advise CSR to credit shower. She stated she would have to check temp of water. I ask for a manager. As the manager approached the CSR kept saying the water was hot.

Since when does a CSR at Pilot argue with a customer even after the manager advised her to be quiet. All I ask was for a shower credit and she continued this behavior. We are their customers. She told another customer she could not wait on her until she heard what I was saying. What a store.
