Not sure when pilot/flying J got rid of roller items where used to be able to come in and get a hotdog or two for six dollars but now it cost almost $11 to eat for anybody getting just gasoline. Everything else is 14 and $15 for anything that’s already premade and hot. Don’t stop here. Pilot flying J should no longer via stop for gasoline/regular travelers
