This “Fuel Island Review Pilot South Carolina Florence 2” is a second review of the fuel island at the Pilot Travel Center in Florence, SC, USA. The contents of this review have been sent through the form on our Fuel Island Review page.
The questions answered below were preceded with grading instructions like this: “On a scale of 5 (high) to 1 (low)…” with this grading scale:
- “5” is excellent;
- “4” is very good;
- “3” is average or ok;
- “2” is unsatisfactory and needs attention;
- “1” is poor and needs immediate corrective action; and
- “N/A” means not applicable.
Unless the reviewer so noted in a text block at the bottom of the form, a specific bay is not identified because we figure that what goes at one bay at a facility will generally be true at all of them.
