Clean Showers?

Irvings in me, Most pilots and most flying j's,Ta really vary alot.

 

this does depend on location and ownership of the travel plaza's. many "name brand" plaza's even when company owned are horrific as well, what would you expect from anyone being paid near minimum wages............?? then of course, there is this "language barrier" since many truck plaza employee's don't speak "engy" (english)..............

best advice, buy your own soap/hair shampoo, and shower booty's, and of course, never sit on anything in the shower room, as you'll never know what the last person "left behind" just waiting for you.........!!!

 

most of the petros I went in had some really nice tiled and very clean shower rooms. Most of the pilot showers suck, small and outdated. Never showered at any flying js so dont know about them, they do have some pretty awesome buffets at flyin j.

 

let me put it to you "this way".

i was at a Petro once and i saw the bucket of water the "janitor" was using to clean the floors, follow me so far....??

this bucket had black water, that's right, water so black, it looked like blacktop sealer for the parking lot.....still following me here....??

this "janitor" was using that black water to "clean" the shower room floor, as well as the shower stall...........and this ain't no lie...........

another time, i was at a 76 (now TA) and a "janitor" was using simple windex glass cleaner sprayed onto the floor, and left to dry on its own.........

and at a Flying-J, a "janitor" was simply using a wet sponge (water only) to clean up the entire shower room/stall.................

now, from what i have personally witnessed, do you think I WOULD TRUST the cleanliness of any shower facility...........?????????

its a "crap shoot" at best.................

diseaseville, here you come.................

moral of this.............wear a rubber suit when you shower...............

 

Hit it with lots of Lysol or equiv disinfectant. Wear the shower shoes. I got a couple pair at walmart for a buck.
