Everything at Pilots are 2 for $3.00 or $4.00 and they must think we can't read

But then this comes out of no where not even dealing with the Question

Actually, it is a good example of just where our country is going. You have snotty nosed little kids WHO ARE TOO DAMN LAZY to try to sell their crap on their own, mommy and daddy have to do all the footwork for their kid, while the snot nosed little kid has 2-3 friends along to keep them company.
I actually was asked walking into a Wal-Mart one time by a mom asking to help send their kid to some band camp in Florida or something. I stopped and said, "why isnt your kid the one doing the "selling" if they want it so bad?" So she gets her kid to come over to ask me. She said, "you want to buy some cookies?" and before she could hardly finish asking, i just said "No"....and quickly moved inside. =) HAHAHAHA.....dumb kids. If i were the parents, if the kid wanted to go, i'd be darn sure to make them do the selling.....

The other day, I was walking into a WalMart, and some 8 year old kid was trying to sell me some cookies for Cub Scouts...i said No...but then i asked him if him and his Cub Scout troop could move some barriers on the road so i could get through a construction zone....and for their help, i bought all their cookies and sold them at a Pilot, 2 for $5...but one at regular price is $3....i was able to pay a Cherry Machine with my cookie money....
But in all reality, most people do fall for the suggestive selling, hell i worked in retail before i became a driver...and 3 out of 5 people it worked....and yes...Kev is on his high horse again...but what else is new?

thanx for repeating it. Actually just making a comparison between the two....so what. And you're right, i dont have any kids...i'm smart enough not to have any 'ooops i did it again', then pat myself on the back because i'd get a tax-break, or more welfare for having another one. Why would anyone want to bring a child into a world as screwed up as this??

Buying
ANYTHING in a pilot or any truck stop is a suckers bet. Ya you really dont have a choice. But now that im a civvy i just rediscovered that you can buy a pack of gum and some chips for less than 5 bucks heh.
Davep - dunno what truck stops you hang out at but if i saw that in a truck stop i wouldnt be back. BTW if ya dont like truckers.. why ya wanna be one?

It only goes so far. No bargain or deal has gotten me to buy those Cakesters.
I personally think there should be a better approach to this cross promoting products which I think they do a little bit of. Like instead of getting people to buy 3 Kit Kats give a half price Kit Kat with a purchase of a Pilot coffee. Or discount on a Liter Mountain Dew if you buy a bag of chips. Or buy a discount on Pepsi Products with a purchase of a hot sandwich or one of those Calzones. Combine different items. I don't want a volume discount on one product except maybe drinks or bottled waters. |
