    But I don’t really see what the big deal is.

    People who make a big deal out of it are over the top, but it’s pretty good at being a gas station:

    • The gas is usually priced well. I’ve seen 10% lower than anything else in the area before.
    • There’s a variety of hot food, all adequate. With a group of people, it’s likely everyone will find something.
    • There are a lot of snacks.
    • There’s a variety of caffeine, all reasonably priced instead of the usual gas station trick of energy drinks are only reasonably priced if you buy three.
    • There are always gas pumps open. No waiting.
    • It’s clean, from the pump to the toilet.

    If there’s one on my route and the timing makes sense, that’s where I’ll stop.
