The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Anyone have any clue what's up with Pilot?

We often drive through Quartzsite, AZ on our way from home to San Diego and back. We always stop there for gas and to grab a bite. There's a Love's travel stop and a nearby Pilot stop, both with food on offer. Pilot is usually nearly empty, while Love's is usually jammed, despite the latter having ten pumping stations.

Based on this anecdotal info, when I read that BRK had acquired Pilot, I was somewhat dismayed, perhaps for good reason.
