Tell your employees it is disgusting to grab cans by the top right where people put their mouth to drink. Have a little common decency.

Not honoring the $.10 off per gallon. So I took my business over to Love’s!!
Receipt shows loyalty card was entered correctly. App shows the offer was saved. So it was Pilot’s machines that only gave a 5 cent per gallon discount. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!
