Had a guy try to get a free shower on me today.

I have given many showers away and then a t times had to asked for one,, theres nothing wrong with it at all, hell I would rather see someone wanting to be cleaner that just be dirty, what the hells wrong with helping some one? what comes around goes around. just make the people feel better about them selves.. hell we all need some kind of help and I would do it again to,, have great day IF CAN MAKE SOMONE FEEL BETTER THAN GREAT

 

I gave out a bunch of showers off my card but stopped when one of the nice truckers who I was "helping out" stole the shower head and I got stuck with a $65 bill.

 

its called Karma.
i always have at least 5 showers on my pilot card, and if someone is about to pay for one, i'll give him one off mine.
There have been times, when i park at other tk stops and want to shower. and people will offer me one of their shower credits.

 

Husband has paid as low as $5.00 and up to $12.00 in one place but it was nice and hot an new. He most usually uses the free ones though unless out in some oddball place without the usual namebrand stations.

 

Now see, that's just not right.

 

I'd say bs. I just paid for the man's shower, not signed an agreement that I take responsibility for the guy. They have cameras. They know what he looks like if he ever went there again.

 

Agreed. Shower heads do not cost $65 either.

 

well i cant say i would blame the TS when the shower is on my card
i will still give away showers
because it is the right thing to do
i am not in charge of the thief
let him explain to god his actions

 

I've given a few and received a few. We exclusively fuel at pilot/flying j and always have a minimum 5 credits (and that's showering daily). Sometimes I use the credit just for #2 purposes when the regular restrooms are packed or disgusting

 

They do not have cameras in the shower stalls. If they did, they would have "legal" proof who did it.
But it probably would not be admissible in court due to the breach of privacy involved.
So The company would rather charge who they consider "responsible". You may be able to fight it and win but the costs involved wouldn't be worth it.
As they say, "No good deed goes unpunished." But I and some good Christians would rather give others the benefit of the doubt and not withhold our help because of one bad apple.
If the barrel of apples is rotten then it would be wise to protect ourselves against others' abuses. I don't think the whole truck driving community is that bad.
