There's a controversy only within the realm of people who believe internet hoaxes at face value and never bother do do any research on the matter. The driver posted it on the internet, and of course as we all know, NOBODY lies on the internet!
The hoax could also come from Pilot/Flying J. Some things you can believe and others you can't. The truth will come out unless there's a cover up going on.
Yeah, because that's what PFJ wants - to discourage Americans from stopping at their locations.
Most things posted to the Internet, you can't. Wild claims and accusations backed up with zero evidence are the ones that should be met with severe skepticism, rather than being believed at face value.
The truth has already come out. It's been out there for weeks.
No need for personal jabs. All I did was challenge you and others to look for actual evidence to support an unsubstantiated claim, and to employ a little critical thinking before believing outrageous claims at face value.
I've always said we can always have different opinions but you're the one who in a round about way took two potshots about my comments. End of story. Have a good night.
Not true at all. I replied to what was posted, without even paying attention to who posted it. Who posted it is irrelevant. I have no idea what "two potshots" you are talking about, but apparently they got a little too close to the guilty mark, otherwise you'd have no reason whatsoever to take personal offense.
Well, the original Flying J logo was designed as a tribute to military jets, as well as the founder's own love of flying. The company was founded by O. Jay Call in 1968 when he had grown to 4 locations and he developed the truck stop chain concept. From the earliest beginning, Call prioritized hiring of military veterans returning from Vietnam. Pilot Travel Centers was founded by a Korean War Veteran of the Army Corps of engineers. Pilot has from the very beginning actively sought out military veterans for employees. When Pilot and Flying J merged not much changed in that regard, other than their philanthropic efforts towards military veterans has increased, and they actively partner with the military to recruit veterans to the company.
Civilians or civilian groups or organizations are not required to conform with regulations promulgated by one or more executive departments of the Government of the United States. In the case of PFJ, they have chosen to adhere to the same rules of etiquette as is found in the military. Considering the number of employees and managers at PFJ who first learned the flag etiquette in the military, it kind of makes sense.
Warren Buffet may or may not be involved in day-to-day operations, and almost certainly is not, but there is probably very little of the operations of which he in unaware.
Ya, hey dare hoser. I'd gladly trade you lutefisk Friday for some poutine today.
