- JPJami Van Brocklin, MSN, PMHNP-BCDec 21, 20254.0Some gas pumps don't work. Womens bathroom was dirty toilet paper all over the floor.
- CNChloe NiswanderDec 18, 20251.0Flying J Clean store but as I was going to the restroom an employee came in to clean. She then bent down looking under the stall (completely disgusting) to see if it was empty while she was on a phone call talking to someone. Seeing me she was rude and said “oh of course the one room I didn’t check” but proceeded to block the bathroom door and hallway with 3 wet floor signs and a big cleaning cart making me move and step over everything to get through while she continued to chit chat on her phone. Then as my husband was checking out in line, because the card reader at the pumps didn’t work, the employee at the register asked “How much?”. He said “10 gallons” and she repeated “how much?” And he repeated “10 gallons”. She then proceeded to snap at him “that doesn’t tell me how much money you want on the pump” We travel the states constantly, this is the worst Flying J’s we have ever been too.
- JSJeff SmithDec 17, 20252.0Always the worst truck stops for customer service. They allowed a trucks to spend lengthy periods of time at the pumps without even fueling. Always long lines in the store.
- DAD ADec 13, 20252.0Shower not clean at all only changed towels , full of hairs
- JKJackie KrollNov 26, 20251.0Diesel pumps are falling apart, new paint isn't gonna cut it. It shouldn't take half an hour to fill my tank
