As an experienced driver my advice is the buckets at the fuel islands are not a bird bath.

Whoa … there … bucko … I’ve seen some animal behavior by good ol’ American boys with missing teeth and not having a hair cut or even a shower in months.

The worst was I think the pilot in gary where one guy decided to stand up in the middle stall when he went #2, which flooded out the stalls on both sides of him then he took a “bath” to clean himself up next to the sinks, and left everything on the floor.

 

You leave my long hair outta this. Ain’t you ever heard that old song long haired country boy?

In regards to everything else yeah there are some real pigs out here. It’s sad things could be much nicer if only drivers have a ####.

As to them washing their feet in the buckets and being from a third world country. That’s probably why they felt comfortable doing so. Have you never seen some of the water sources in those locations? I wouldn’t walk along the banks of the ganga River yet thousands of people wash in it each day

 

Guys complaining about people washing their feet in the sink while they wash the hand that just probably poked through that single ply tp and came out smelling like roses. Those feet that get cleaned multiple times a day are probably cleaner then ol Billy bobs hands.

 

That practice is the bane of my existence. Unfortuntely, it occurs very frequently where I run.

 

I'm going to take a completely different point of view and give them just a little slack.
Judging by the photo of the fuel tank, they must have had some sort of diesel spill. Also notice the wet ground under the truck.
I see that they probably walked thru the diesel at some point and got their shoes soaked in diesel. Since they were wearing flip flops( I assume) their bare feet also got some diesel on them. We all know that when you get any diesel on you that smell just does not go away, It lingers with you forever it seems.
Another photo shows them going into the truck stop.They probably tried to get as much off their shoes and feet BEFORE tracking that into the truck stop for everybody else to deal with.
I'm not saying leaving the towels on the ground or washing their stuff with the windshield washer bucket was right,but I can't completely condemn them like some of you are.

 

The rare chance I stop at a mega truck stop I never use the bucket. A few times now I go to clean the windshield and it's got oil streaks on it afterwards from tards.

 

Adherents to the Mahomedan faith have to clean their feet and hands before their prayer rituals, of which there are several in a day.
It's symbolic rather than sanitary, so the bucket on the fuel pumps is clearly technically acceptable.
Of course, to those of us not of that faith it's plain nasty to see it in a washroom sink or a fuel island especially when there's fallout in the form of the mess left behind as in in the op's photo's.

 

What they need is something like this
