TA has laundry......
Some mom & pops do....
The Flying hook has them as well....
Love's does not IIRC...making them a poor choice if you need to reset and do laundry..... -
It would probably be a wise idea to wash your clothes first before you shower then -
well i'll tell you what....i would NOT recommend sitting on any chair, stool or bench in a shower room as well, cuz on those surfaces, you never know what one "leaves behind"....
i don't think i like the looks of this picture you are painting....
many do, and soap, and sometimes a small bottle of shampoo. but as Redd pointed out, bring your own. bring your own soap as well, because the bars of soap they provide are those tiny ones that can only lather up enough suds to wash your little toe. it would also be a good idea to wear a pair of "flip flops" or shower booties (i think they are called) to give you "some protection from walking on the floors and the shower stall itself. the truck stop employee's (at times) wash the shower stall AND THE FLOOR with water that is blacker than coal...!!!
God knows how many times i have seen this "cleaning" done......
and PLEASE, DO NOT SIT on any chair, bench or stool.......stand up and dry off....DO NOT CHANCE the cleanliness of "sitting areas".......
some drivers are ever so eager to leave "something behind"....... -
Ughh.... cant get that mental image of the "leave behinds" (DNA, hair, ###-cheese, toe-cheese, etc...) out of my head.

Not to mention some STD's can be left behind as well.
-
no worse than your steering wheel..........most likely.......
-
or better yet take a blacklight to your mattress and really scare yourself
-
Mattress covers, clorox the steering wheel, clorox and lysol every square inch of truck stop shower rooms. Yes I clean them before I use them.
-
As well you should
Texas-Nana Thanks this.
