Get used to it, it's the new normal. On a recent trip, I was appalled at the travel conditions and vowed never to do it again. Being retired, I'm in the position to say that. I DO feel sorry for commercial drivers though. You drivers today are still the best. I've long said, a fortune awaits the company that invents self cleaning facilities. Staffing was without question, the biggest problem, with old ladies that "hunt and peck" the registers, while the line grows. It's as if we've gotten ultra modern, and it's useless because in some way, it still involves a human being to do the crap work, and people have just had enough. I don't blame people one bit.
In the meantime, on that trip( Colorado to Portland turn around) I can say, without reservation, and I have no affiliation whatsoever, Loves was by far the cleanest, well staffed, friendliest of all. I even told the cashiers that, BY NAME!. Hey, a little compliment goes a long ways. Fact is, I tried to stop at one when I could. It clearly shows, Loves must be a good company. I particularly liked the "restroom cleanliness monitor", even though it probably goes nowhere, it shows they care, and can't build them fast enough. A new Loves TC is being built in Poncha Springs, Co( next town over) on Hy. 50 and 285, even among opposition, it's sorely needed. We, as a country, really needs to update it's travel situation, and sadly, it can't rely on humans anymore. -

So, non-trucking travelers here, like me, think, got to be a better way besides flying. Then I thought, why not the train?
I looked up Denver to Portland, it was about $250, but it takes a whopping 64 HOURS, um, no thanks, I'm just going to fly and be done with it. You can't win with traveling these days. -
I don’t have that problem.
Shower down? no problem.

I've seen it all now!
....And how many times have I said that about something I saw at a truck stop fuel island. -
