   Pilot because they have crushed ice in their soda dis­pensers. Except for around Christ­mas because then Wiegels has their Eggnog, and I’m an eggnog-drinking fool. So, 80% Pilot, 20% Wiegels… that’s it for me!

   Crushed ice FTW! I like Grid­iron Burg­ers for that same reason.

   Weigels, partly from habit (we used to do the whole “milk jug” thing), but partly for pseudo-political rea­sons. Long story.

   Depends on my atti­tude and the expe­ri­ence I want, both places lend an expe­ri­ence and cul­ture. Every­body needs gas, nec­es­sary evil. Two kinds of peo­ple in K-Town, Weigels and Pilot, like Coke or Pepsi.

   I go to Food City myself. On Friday’s they offer pre­mium for the same price as plus — my VW GTI likes that. So does my wallet.

   Pilot. Bet­ter cof­fee plus easy, con­ve­nient loca­tions on the way to and from work.

   Pilot if I’m not going to the Kroger’s that’s down the road. Vic­tor, I go to church with the Haslems. It’s weird when Jim Haslem is your usher.

   Weigels on the cor­ner of Ebenezer & Glea­son — it always smells like the sum­mers of my youth in there — some­thing to do with the old ICEE machine maybe

   ICEE’s, that’s the clincher, absolutely. Any­one remem­ber when the Pilot “Java” logo looked just like the Sun Microsys­tems’ Java logo? Just me? Good.

    does siphon­ing from my neigh­bor at 3am count?

    …and as long as we’re on the sub­ject, ICEE’s can’t hold a match to the “real deal” that is SLURPEE! (if they did, they’d prob­a­bly both melt)

    Wher­ever I have lived in K-town, Weigels has always been more con­ve­nient than Pilot. Cur­rently, the Weigels at Weis­gar­ber Rd. and Lonas Dr. suits my needs on the way home from work­ing out in the mornings.

    @Missybw — I’m with you on the Egg Nog thing.

    ZOMG — luchauer is so right about the Slurpee good­ness… I miss it so! The 7 – 11 down the street fm my office had 8 fla­vors — 8!!!! Icee never has that many, any­where! I really need to go to Florida — soon!

    Mis­sybw,
    You could also choose to go to Roanoke, VA and get one. My best friend is from there and can you guess what the first thing is that I do when I pull into Roanoke? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not go to her house

    Weigels all the way. Pilot kicks my amex card out one out of two times at the pump. The Weigels at Ebenezer and Northshore is the best! We go through 5 gal­lons of milk of Weigels milk a week; thanks for the milk card.

    @KenB — 5 gal­lon of milk? Phew…that has to be almost as bad as pay­ing for gas.

    They are both every­where around here. I think I pre­fer Wei­gles though. They just seem cleaner.
