    I asked about this, and the reason why is that the drivers are stealing the towels... The TA I frequent, and I know folks that actually work there, as I have been going there for years and live in the neighborhood... If you are nice, they will give you a few gallons of oil. ;-)

    The way it works on the local level, the management has a budget.... Have you priced towels lately? And if your job depends on your bottom line as a manager, sheet happens, or in this case, Towels Happens. And guys like you should stop stealing the towels.

    I have my own towel, can't trust they all bacterias and virues will disappear from simply 1 wash....
    You can't compare cost of towels in Wal-Mart cause Wal-Mart need to make profit from selling towels also, if TA will by them straight from manufacturing it will cost them very little...

    I noticed that too, last couple times went in for trailer service they did ask me to swipe my reward card but failed to load points or shower on there. I thought it was an over sight but now I have the answer.

    Why not require a cash deposit for towels.... still a headache for the customer but at least you likely keep the customer...
