    Yes, the ability to use their reward card points on a one way ticket back to the stone age country they came from. Why should a civilized society bend over for a backwards religion that requires special amenities and concessions that no other religion would get away with demanding?

    I dealt with a nasty stomach virus one sorry night at the Petro in Waterloo, NY. Musta crawled out of bed 3-4 times that night to go sit on the toilet, and the next day was a little dicey too. I ate something foul but can't remember what it was.

    Few years back, at a shipper in Clinton, TN.

    Stayed overnight in their yard. Some around 2am with the urge to vomit. Managed to get the door open, passed out and fell facefirst onto the concrete.

    Woke up sometime later, scratched and bruised up. Spent the next few hours alternately yakking and passing out in the grass behind my trailer.

    Made it to the terminal a day or so after, finally able to "hold it together".

    Got into my car and headed home... Next thing I knew, a trooper was pulling me over. Apparently I had blacked out and began driving erratically... He noticed that something " wasn't right"... Told him I had been ill a couple days before and thought it had passed.

    Anyway, trooper followed me to the nearest gas station and hung around to make sure I was alright. Wound up calling my wife to come get me, as I wasn't too far from home.

    Long story short, I will *never again* drive if I've been puking my guts up.
