This is in reference to the subway attached to the pilot here at Skippers VA. I am an over the road truck driver and often have the displeasure of choosing to not eat verses bad service and terrible quality. I decided to come to the pilot for subway instead of the 5 other options around. I am so glad that I did and I got to meet an employee name Ja'quan. Even though he was working alone he has the best attitude ever. The bread was the freshest I've ever eaten, and he was cautious in making our sandwiches picture perfect which were awesome. Please make this kid a manager so he can help train others showing them how things are supposed to be again. Thanks Ja'Quan, we will be back to see you !
