Do not bother going into the restroom to brush your teeth, save time and do it while fueling.

    I woke up at the Texarkana Loves this morning around four am and went to fuel before taking off.

    Next to me at the fuel pumps was this guy who was brushing his teeth while leaning over the windshield wiper bucket. He was just spitting out his toothpaste in that bucket then proceeded to stick his mouth under the non-potable water faucet thing and rinsed with it then spit that into the bucket as well,

    At first I was going to say something to him like wtf, then thought well at least he is not leaving his truck there all morning blocking everyone while wandering around in the truckstop. So I just ignored it and took off when I was done fueling, and I skipped wiping my windshield there too.

    He probably Pee'd in that bucket first... then washed his face in it... THEN brushed his teeth.

    What's funny is he likely fueled there and still hadn't showered in 3 days... even with a freebie waiting.

    Tonight on Inside Edition. A National truckstop chain exposed! Non Potable water spigots within reach of the public. Putting your children at risk!

    "I can't believe this has gone on for so long, I worry about my children's safety" - concerned mom.

    "If Love's Travel Stops won't do anything to protect our children, we must boycott them." - concerned mom.
