Recently Love's has made it possible to reserve a shower using their smartphone app. I love this feature and use it daily. In the last 2 months? I've only had 2 problems and both in the last 7 days. At 1 location Conneaut, OH I parked, used the app to get on the shower list. The app said I was #3 in line (customer #50). I go inside the truck stop, mill around, hear customers ahead of me called for their shower until I am the next one to be called. At that point I go hang out near the Diesel desk and wait and wait. The next announcement is for Customer #51, the one after me. When that happened I looked at the app which had changed from the "waiting for your number screen" to the normal home screen that is visible when you open the app. It's like I never reserved a shower. I pointed this out to the employees that their system went from Customer #49 to Customer #51. I was able to get the next shower after Customer #51.
The second error happened at Loves in Leary, TX near Texarkana. I parked, opened the app and reserved a shower, no waiting. My shower is ready now. This starts a 10 minute countdown clock on the app. I spent a few minutes getting my shower bag and stuff together in the truck and walked to the truck stop. I go to the door of the assigned shower room and looked down at the app where you see the countdown clock, shower number, key code to unlock the door. I had 2 minutes and some seconds on the countdown clock as I started typing in the key code, when the app screen changed back to the "shower check-in screen". My reservation disappeared while I was unlocking the door, even though I had time left. I reserved another shower and used it without problem.
I'm posting this in case anyone else sees something similar. You're not necessarily going crazy, no matter what the voices in your head say.

I reserved a shower and it wassaid two open showers then it put me on a waiting list. I figured two people just beat to the showers. Then my shower reservation disappeared. So I reserved another shower since I get two free every day. When I walked inside they said they system messed up and they cancelled the first shower. Because their was two open shower. That the only problem I had with it so far. It's nice app because it updates you spot on the list
tscottme Thanks this. -
I have never had any problems with the app. Possibly because I instead of doing a lives employees job for them. I walk my lazy ### to the desk and make an employee do thier job.
thelushlarry, FlaSwampRat and HoneyBadger67 Thank this. -
This is my same reasoning for never using the self check out at supermarkets or mega department stores. (unless I really am in a hurry).
I dont remember filling out applications at any of these places and they're certainly not giving me an employee discount.thelushlarry and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
That why i use ta app instead
thelushlarry Thanks this. -
I usually shower around 3 AM. Love the app. That time of morning you have to chase down an employee to work the diesel desk
