    Yeah, I don't mind the music but I can't stand it when they have to cut into the music to announce a shower is ready. PFJ might consider their 4wheeler customers when announcing showers. When I used to go to the Flying J in Lodi CA, I was only vaguely aware it was a truck stop. I recall the first time the 4wheeler restrooms were closed and was directed to use the 'truckers' side. You know, the 'Professional Drivers Only Beyond This Point'. I was shocked they had a big TV, laundry room, showers etc. Kinda felt sorry these guys had to live that way.

    And if they didn't announce it, people would be upset , cause they didn't know when their shower is ready.
    Not all enjoy sitting around watching the shower screen, waiting for their # to come up.

    Read the last sentence again and think about what it says, Driver.

    I like the music since I know they could play a lot worse. I was happy and surprised to hear Connie Francis' "Stupid Cupid" once in the shower.

    It would do you good to get a musical education.

    And I thought I was the only one who actually noticed it. These other guys must be crapping in their trucks in the morning if it doesnt annoy them.:biggrin_2559:

    I will have to Admit one thing. One time I went into and iron skillet, and heard a couple of chuck Barry tunes. That guy had to be the riffmaster of that time, a lot of the bands I listen to use a lot of that type of rapid- fire picking...

    I also am often annoyed by the music piped in at truckstops. I realize that music is subjective, what is great for driver A, sucks for driver B. I personnally perfer classic country. Nothing like the old truck driving classics either when I am trying to take a dump or get the shampoo out of my hair with that low pressure shower head that sprays everywhere but on me. But my main complaint is that it is too loud! I mean how can one concentrate on his newspaper while in the crapper while at the same time listening to Michael Jackson singing Ben?
