Don't go to the Flying J in Kingman, AZ unless you really want to waste your time. I went there this morning to fill up using my Visa/Debt card and after a minute or so of answering questions at the pump it told me to see the cashier. I went in and was second in line and finally when it was my turn I asked why did they waste my time at the pump when they knew I would have to come inside. The response "we're sorry for the misunderstanding". Then I'm told they don't hold the cards when filling up and I would have to state an amount I wanted. So, if my truck didn't take the full amount I would have to go back inside and stand in a line again. Tell me, WHAT'S THE PUPOSE OF HAVING A CARD READER AT THE PUMP IF IT'S JUST GOING TO TELL YOU TO GO INSIDE AND SEE THE CASHIER??????? I will never go to a flying J again and I advise nobody go to one.

Ya! Like you it's costing you money, right? Go to the truck Island next time. Remember the people working there are just like MCD's. Minimum wage etc. Some of Flying J managment are going to jail for Racketeering, see storyhttp://www.thetruckersreport.com/

When I come off the road to fuel up I don't deserve to be treated like that. I no longer go to Flying J. Their stupid worthless discount card got pitched out the window and is somewhere in a ditch along I-75 in Florida.

That procedure is NOT unique to Flying J. I've been to lots of places where I had to make 2 trips inside.

Most any gas station will allow a limited amount at the pump. Why is this J any different? Were you pumping over the limit?BTW I only go to J if there's no other choice, but it's not because of what you saw.. they're just always busy.
