    Wait till you go to the Flying J in Pasco WA. The restrooms are portapotties and there are no showers.

    That post made me laugh. I use to have a list of meals at the T/A that came in pre-packed bags. Meaning they just took it out of the freezer, heated it up, and stuck it on a plate. The buffet is a great place to catch a virus or worse. Those meals of the day can sit for hours. By ordering only the pre-packed stuff I had increased my survival margin greatly.L.O.L.:biggrin_25523:

    Yes they have coffee. I don't drink it, but there were some in there. It is an extremely small convenience type store with very small lanes. There were 3 diesel pumps, long hoses, but no roof. It was quite an eye opener. Had planned to take a shower there, but went on down the road. Spent no dollars there.:biggrin_25513:

    No doubt, it's not like they have the greatest food on those buffets, or the cleanest people always putting the food out. I'm serious though, those old mom and pops places are really the ####.

    You know, after a long day and being road weary the last thing you want to hit is a rest area. That's pretty much what that place sounds like. No, I'll take that back. At least at a rest area there's toilets and sinks!
