Give me your shower key..."sir"

There's a line 5 deep to get fuel, because everybody thinks it's OK to "just be a minute" grabbing something to eat, scanning their paperwork, sitting on the can, or whatever other important-to-them business they have to take care of even when they KNOW trucks are stacked up 5 deep behind them. If 1/2 the pumps are empty? Fine...but if people are waiting, get in & get the f out to keep the lines moving.

Same with the showers. You KNEW there was a line, because you had to wait in it. When they call you, get your key, get your shower, and get the f out so they can clean it for the next guy waiting in line. "A few minutes" to you may have been 10-15 minutes in reality...and seriously, you left your food unsupervised & walked away, then came back and continued eating? Who does that? If I'm alone, my food & drink doesn't leave my sight until I'm done with it. Never know who might decide to add a little seasoning to it while you're gone, and that's a risk I've never been willing to take. People are scum and I generally don't trust them.

Bottom line, no sympathy here. People were waiting, and you were taking your dear sweet time. Get in, and get the f out.

 

Any one who chooses to run a business via walkie talkie and stress out the staff and chase customers is the very last place I want to spend my time, money and stress there.

I supposed its a classic race to the bottom when all the good quiet clean stops are finally dynamited in favor of the Pilot Business model. No place to sit and wait for your precious shower.

In my time a hop into the druid reservior for a few moments gets me good and wet, and it becomes a matter of cleaning up and sanitizing. (Druid Reservior downtown Baltimore, 33rd ave at hartford rd near the St Lo park crossing) a bit of splish splash and back in the truck before the law understood what just happened. Or you ran back and forth across someone's lawn spraying device a few times. Get plenty wet quick.

 

Welcome to loves. They only have 4 showers.

 

It is it the one off of 29?

Then that's the same place where my driver was accused of stealing coffee after he paid for it then went out the door.

IT was a bunch of crap, they actually called the cops on him, the cops reviewed the security footage and told the manager he paid and she was wrong. She even gave the cops a hassle about seeing the footage.

 

I hear ya. That's one (of the many) reasons I've never been a fan of Loves.

Hold on though, I thought getting barked at by women and minimum wage losers was one of the many perks of driving a big truck!

 

"Negative. The T-1000 will definitely try to re-acquire you there (in the Arby's)"

I hear ya x1, many times in the summer I'd just find a nice quiet spot next to a river...

 

That's what happens when the only other major independent competitor on the other side of the interstate closes permanently. Where are you going to go? What are you going to do?
