Okay, maybe that's a bit severe. What about 100 lashes?



How about a stern talking to?



Expunge them from the Christmas card list?



I really hate those jerks.

I'd not thought about the squeegee bums.. ran into one of their cast-offs in Reno once.. took me a half an hour with windex to get the fuel off my windshield.

I vote they simply be lowered into the pit of an outhouse for a week.

A pool or hot tub sounds pretty good, I would rather have an exercise room membership that is paid for on a monthly basis and could be used anywhere, providing enough truck stops joined. If there weren't many participating TS then it would be useless.

more food choices.. fruits, veggies, etc.. and also, maybe some outhouses in the parking lot... even tho some drivers will step outside and pee before walking 20 feet to use the toilet... lol.. more lighting... cheaper prices.. and take all the subways out!!!

Hmmm, I don't think so. Considering that some of the, uh, shall we say "less than hygienic" drivers would undoubtedly use these instead of a shower. . .

This could give a whole new job description to the job of "lifeguard!"

Alot of what I'm about to say has been said but if the T/S's want feedback here's mine.

1. Friendly Employees that know their ##### from a hole in the ground.
2. Reasonable prices. I once worked in a t/s (I was young and stupid), and I would get complaints on the prices and would say... there's the highway come in and get robbed.
Why has everything got to be 30 to 50% more than a regular store. Greedy ########
3. CLEAN STORES AND BATHROOMS AND SHOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Real and Healthy food in the restaurant. not canned frozen crap. The guy that made the suggestion of delivered food had a great idea, call it in on the radio and someone brings it out like at sonic or an old A&W
5. Fuel islands with air,bug juice,towels,squeegies,water.or full service islands for that matter
6. Parking lots that DO NOT resemble the surface of the MOON
7. Well lit lots with security on a golf cart or something and a gate that dont cost $$$ to get thru
8. Actual lounge areas, not some chairs and a tv. Oh yea and clean it up once in a while
9. .25 cent fax machines $4.00 a page then $1.00 or more for extra pages is a F#*k&%g RIPOFF
10. Basicly...dont bite the hand that feeds you. Knock 10 or 15 % off the price for drivers (truck drivers) and charge Joe Public the inflated prices. These places bleed us dry every day taking advantage of the situation.
11. My latest brainstorm, wait here it is
A truck stop just for trucks
no gas pumps
no famlies of 5 at the fuel desk
no fast food joints
no CAMPERS in the lot
JUST TRUCKS
They could eliminate half the garbage piled on the shelfs in the store noone buys. A gift from the truck stop is right at the same level as an airport gift shop gift, CRAP.

MY 2 CENTS
