    Figure out where to park before you park, don't just park anywhere.

    I remember once at a Love's. A Western Express pulled up next to a truck in front of me. I was leaving so I turn on my headlights and start pulling out. Thinking they will notice. Nope they started heading to the store. So I blow my air horn then they move. I might of woken up some drivers because it was early. Around 3-5am. Some people just don't think when parking. Look at any tight rest area example all of PA. No one attempts to park in a way so others can leave.

    Common courtesy for others trying to do the same job as you is missing in the industry nowadays.

    Some are born and raised in this country that can't speak or read English because they don't want to.

    I ran into one the other day when I was shopping with my kid at Whole Foods, the girl would not get out of the way when I politely asked her. I got a smart ******** response "no hablo ingles" so my kid said in Spanish please move then complimented her about her shoes and her necklace and earrings. The girl just stood there like a deer in headlights for a moment then walked away fast. As she walked away, my kid turned to me and said in Spanish something I can't repeat here about the girl.

    I think common sense has left the industry.

    WTH, how they can be born here and they don't speak English? They don't go to school or something?
