    This thread has me laughing as its true. Most probably don't even realize that the folks behind them maybe in a hurry. I like hot dogs so I buy alot of them. One day I'm in line buying dogs(I'm next) and the cashier says my shifts over please move to the other register. Ten people move over to the other register, and now I'm last. Hey wait a second I say. She shrugs oh well. I asked her if she was hungry and set those dogs on the counter and walked out. The look on her face was priceless.

    While driving short haul, I fueled at only one truck stop. I enjoyed reaching through the line of drivers for my fuel receipt, signing it, pulling my copies and hitting the road.

    This crap is why I stop at odd hours to fuel . I am an impatient SOB !! I could care less how much crap you buy but you need to have your poop in a group when its your turn.
    I used to run my card start fueling, clean windows, kick tires, dip oil, now when I top er off I jump in pull forward and run in. If there is a line at the desk I run thru whatever slow/fast food joint is there (hope for a subway) get my some vittles and be back on the road. If its real busy and there is parking I will park then go thru the fuel desk fiasco.

    We tried to implement a system like that. However, the bigwigs at Petro, feel that the $2 sale is just as important as the $200 sale..........

    But we DID try it........

    I have laughed over the hot dog thing many times. I would pay money to see the look on her face again.

    i'll add some more: please be sure to be 2-13628468468636546548 weeks overdue for a shower, look like you've rolled around in an oil stain on the asphalt, and reek of 1,000 fresh cow patties on a hot summer day, and then be sure to ignore all the people choking for fresh air behind you, around you, and as you make your feeble attempt to hit on the female clerk.

    Why is it some refuse to shower? I'm not just slamming drivers either. Why do some refuse to change into clean clothing? I'm not slamming a man/woman who has worked all day. I mean when you look at them you can tell the shirt and pants have been on for days. Weeks? If I can smell them can't they smell themselves?
