    As of today, the town of Batesville has limited the number of customers allowed in the truck stop at one time to FIVE. That includes ONE person allowed in the one operational shower. People are standing outside for over an hour JUST TO GET IN to get a scale ticket and 5-6 hours wait times for showers.

    You cannot enter the truck stop unless an employee lets you in so don't think you'll just "sneak in."

    I'd stay away from this cluster until further notice.

    Love's is taking a turn to the worse. Cleveland, Texas doesn't have any hand sanitizer. When asked about it, the store employee said sanitizers were for employees only.

    Well this has nothing to do with Loves. this was by city ordinance. They have to comply or the city can shut them down.

    I cant blame them for keeping it strictly for the employees at this time. I've been to over 20 stores the past couple weeks, you cant get hand sanitizer anywhere or Clorox wipes.


    If they let everyone use the hand sanitizer what are loves employees gonna use when it runs out?

    Sorry
    My bad. Reading comprehension in shortage right now.
    Still think Love's shouldn't be keeping hand sanitizers in the back room only.

    Walmart announced that starting yesterday they will allow only 5 customers in the store per 1000 sq ft of store space. Only on entrance will be open and when the limit is reached, when 1 person comes out 1 can go in.

    I saw that they closed down the GM entrance on Moberly, MO yesterday. Then they have all the customers take a specific route to get in but they were having people wait til the shopping cart area was cleared. It definitely was a lot more than 5 people per square foot yesterday. Luckily I didn't need that much groceries

    I pulled up at the local Walmart at 07:05 they had 4 standing in line and the local pd sitting by the door.
    I went 7 miles to the grocery store instead.
