WORST Flying J EVER. I hate this place. If today is typical of how things are here, I won't ever…read morereturn if I can help it.
I went in to pay for fuel this morning, and there was ONE cashier lane open - the line was about 10-15 deep. After waiting forever and getting through the line, I went out and fueled, and then parked my rig so I could go inside to eat and shower.
First, I wanted to pick up my fuel receipt so that I wouldn't forget before I left. There now were 2 cashiers, but each line was about 7-10 deep. I waited for a few minutes before giving up in disgust.
I stopped to use the restroom on my way into Denny's, and out of the generous THREE stalls, one was Out of Order, leaving only two toilets for women in this whole "Travel Plaza." Both were in use, and there was another person ahead of me.
I went to Denny's, and sat down. My co-driver joined me, we ordered, then I returned to the bathroom. Still a line.
After eating at Denny's (which was fine - both the food and the service were good), and finally using the bathroom, I went back to get my fuel receipt. 2 cashiers, and there was one line about 15 deep waiting for whichever opened first.
When I was next in line, I went over to the cashier I thought would be the next open, but she had a "Lane Closed" sign up. So I went back to the line, and when the 2nd cashier finished her customer, I approached, and SHE ALSO had a "lane closed" sign up! I stood there, and she ignored me while she did something else. Finally, I turned her sign around to face her, and pushed it toward her. She glared at me. I asked "Are you really closed?!" She sighed and said "I guess I can help you." I exclaimed "You're the only cashier!!" She motions toward the other, and said "She's open." I said "No, she has her 'lane closed' sign up too!" I got my receipt and left.
I planned to shower here, but the idea of waiting in that line YET AGAIN for a shower, and then presumably waiting for a shower also, was just too much for me to take at this point. I'll shower at the next stop.
Also? This place is ROASTING inside. I was soaked through by the time I left. This is Arizona. Have you not heard of Air Conditioning? I don't care if it's January. Hot is hot, no matter when it is.
I'm not even a "time is money" trucker. I'm pretty relaxed and patient. But I know for most, wheels rolling is your priority. If that is the case, you will be nothing but angry and frustrated trying to use this Flying J.
