    So. You are suggesting there are other places to fuel & shower?
    You're probably one of those guys that thinks there are more than one kind of pick up, and motorcycle too aren't you????????

    How about $2 for a shower and they have open showers like a locker room or would drivers pay $15

    I remember when showers were $2 then raised to 3 then 5 then 6.50 and so on. Motel 6 used to cost $6 ! ! ! Hence, their name. So, let's review now.......inflation, cost of goods/saleries etc. But mostly upper mgmt. salarys. Right ? I mean, the grunts at the truck stop might get a dime an hr once a year, but the big cheese at corp HQ will get a $100k /yr raise.

    Look the sign on the fuel pump says, quote " The best showers, just got better."

    What else do you want?

    I swear these guys that complain about "shower this and shower that" are the ones who rarely shower... You pumped 50 gallons what's 10 more?

    I buy fuel only at Petro/TA and 10 more gallons is not a problem. However if I need to pay for shower I go to Pilot/Flying J. it's $12 there .

    For just a little more you can get the table shower option. I'm not into that so much but some like them.
