Hello my fellow truckers. I've got a notice for all you healthy minded eaters and dieters. If you go to the Truckstops of America (TA Truckstop) in Cordele, Georgia and want to order a healthy meal.....well, hold on to your wallet because they are going to empty it out for you. The truckstop is located at exit 97 on Interstate 75, and you should drive right past it unless you have money to burn.

A definite FORKS DOWN!! to the Country Pride restaurant located at the Truckstops of America in Cordele, Georgia. I ordered a meal, not on the menu, consisting of grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and a slice of dry, whole wheat toast. When I got my meal, I was served a very small piece of chicken (maybe 3.5 ounces), about 2 cups of steamed broccoli, and two pieces of dry whole wheat toast (even though I specifically asked for only one). What was I charged for the tiny meal? Out the door.....I paid a whopping $11.13 (tax included). They charged me $8.49 for a meal and then another $1.79 for a vegetable side order. Together, with tax, that added up to $11.13 on my calculator. Boy, for that price, I could have had a large steak, baked potato with butter and sour cream, a vegetable, a side salad with dressing, and probably some rolls with butter. But, then I would not have had a very healthy meal. So, I can only guess that I was charged more, for less, because I care about my health. Shame on you, Truckstops of America in Cordele, Georgia. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.....and by the way...you owe me some money back, don't you think???
