    Make sure you make a donation next time you use it :biggrin_25513: Sorry do not USE their WIFI , but have been charged for water anything from $0.11 to $0.25 as they supplied the cup when placing the order ( not just running to the dispencer and FILLING up ) .

    Don't remember which state we were in now, but it is illegal to refill anytype of drinking cup, coffee cup, due to health state law. I guess for a refill on a drink a person would have to get another cup, but I bet they didn't have free refills either.

    Next due to health laws we'll all be obliged to walk around with masks and rubber gloves. Unbelievable. I suppose that state should SHUT DOWN the water fountains as well. Make them illegal. Yeah, that makes sense. :biggrin_25526:

    Speaking of which, I hope all those here that oppose free water at the truck stops NEVER use water fountains! They would be getting "something for free" and they would be hypocrites for using them! :biggrin_2559:

    I don't want anything free and I don't get anything free. Every time I stop at one of the truck stops I spend abut 800 bucks, with that I get a Shower.

    I'll pay for the ice, water, coffee, shower, etc. All I want in return is a clean truck stop. If charging for this kind of stuff drives away the rif-raf drivers then even better. :biggrin_25514:
