    You go into a truckstop and the floors are nasty and restrooms smell like they havent been clean for a month and the employees are lounging around, whose fault is it?
    When the fuel islands are blocked and drivers are sitting in the restaurant eating lunch, and no one can get through the parkinglot, whose fault is it?

    Talk with the manager. Show the manager the pics. Tell the manager that this is unacceptable. If nothing changes, leave a survey on that kiosk thing or contact the corporate office in LodiOH.

    or

    STOP FUELING AT FUEL STOPS THAT ALLOW DRIVERS TO CAMP OUT ON THE FUEL ISLANDS.

    Try and justify it all you want, your tough guy bravado brought out your true colors, and even as you say it makes you a smaller piece of ####, it's still a piece of ####.

    Easy there... joking (that's how I took it) about it is just that. A guy that would actually do it, on the other hand, is a pos.

    actually, at the T/A i used to stop at in NH, they DO ALLOW trucks to park at the last 2 fuel islands. and i don;t know why, cuz when i used to stop there, the reserved spaces would still not be 100% filled up. i never cared myself, i would get in, fuel, get my roller dog and soda, paid for the fuel, then leave.

    but then too, i'd be there at or about 12:30-- 1:00 AM not too many fueling those hours..

    and i'd take all of about 15-20 minutes,

    It's a good thing your opinion doesn't really matter then? Seems to me you have got the tough guy bravado. Guess you're worried about your parking spot on the fuel island being safe?
