    Yea I know.

    Don't eat the towels and you should be ok. And honestly, the more germs you are exposed to the stronger your immune system becomes. I bet you rarely get sick for any reason.

    The worst thing you can do is try to sanitize everything. You prevent your body from building up immunity to the germs and that means you're more likely to get sick when exposed to anything bad.

    So let me get this straight. A guy spending $300 in maintenance no shower,because he is stealing towels. A guy puts in 50gl gets a free shower. Is this the arguement?

    Things are going to get a lot worse. It is called Capitalism with a capital "C". How much revenue is being generated from paid parking spaces now vs the zero it was 5 years ago. Loves is the only one of the majors that is adding locations, and that is to knock off a weakened Pilot, who because of the fuel scandal is having problems keeping accounts. It wouldn't surprise me at all if all the major chains started charging for showers. What are you going to do, take one in the parking lot?( oh whoops, guys are already using the parking lot for a bathroom..)
    These companies hold all the cards, it is just a matter of who is going to go first and for how much.

    I think your right. I have a feeling almost all parking is going to be paid before we know it as well, with the Elogs soon to be mandatory what choice do you have?
