   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.
