The Love's in Sioux Falls, SD is no picnic spot either.
There are a few I avoid, but most are pretty decent.

Moosetek13 Thanks this.

megas are not allowed to fuel at them since they can’t / don’t offer the big discounts on fuel .
I’d rather have a dirt parking lot than a paved one with trash everywhereD.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

In addition to that, I’ve went to a pilot the other day to take a shower and I got out of the shower and realized there was no towels. Put my clothes on soaking wet and went out and was told that I needed to leave my drivers license at the front counter to get a towel. Lol but yes, I am noticing signs on more and more doors that the showers are out of service. And yes it’s because they don’t have help.
Think about it though, people don’t wanna work, they’re offering $25-$35 an hour or more for a simple warehouse job, up to $18 an hour to work at McDonald’s, do you really think someone wants to clean truck drivers showers and toilets? It’s like the lowest of the low job there is.
I saw a guy the other day that was cleaning the showers while I was waiting…he came flying out cursing and yelling and he said to me “did you see the blankety-blank blank who came out of that shower?“. He went on to say the guy left a quarter on the counter. He thought it was his “tip“. I’m gonna go shove this quarter up his blank blank, you don’t leave me no quarter tip. I tried to explain to him that the guy was probably just emptying out his pockets like I always do and left it or forgot it on the counter.
This guy was literally ready to fight someone. They can’t find people who want to clean the showers. -
Who goes in to the shower and does not notice that there are no towels.
I ask before going how many towels there are, because I want two.
And you empty out your pockets in the shower?
Second...
The places I stop at have showers and the people cleaning them seem OK with the job, since it is just part of the job.
I get it if there is a real slob that leaves a mess and they get upset.
Not something I understand that well, how someone leaves a big mess when they just go in to clean up.
What mess can they make when they go in with a bag of clean clothes and shaving stuff, and nothing else?
But I do appreciate the job those people do, and leave a $2 tip every time. -
Shouldn't take too much time or concern considering Ten Years Back the "cleaners" were using the SAME MOP CONTAGENS to "clean every shower room" as well wiping with towels that may well have been "sanitized" by Shower Customers. To think the cleaners would use a "fresh towel" for every stall is incredibly considerate considering, probably, being paid minimum wage.
Some dingleberry tosser Flying J spokesperson, some years gone, stated "Drivers only use Towels to dry off, therefore we need NOT wash them after every use".
Gives ya that Clean Sanitized glow doesn't it?
NO, I used ONE TOWEL to Dry Off and the other to clear off Mirror then STAND ON and get dressed. Wasn't totally sure either towel was a good idea, after the "flying jerk comment", so I began carrying in MY OWN TOWEL(S). At least I knew, with reasonable accuracy where My Towels had been. I was also a solo driver but not so low I couldn't keep track of towels.
I was also increasingly certain I was not the only Human Entity as well similar Life Form(s) to do such activity.

I just shower at the fuel island. No plumbing problems there.
W923 Thanks this. -
Seen it a couple times at the J in Salt Lake, no staffing has been the answer a few times, although the one night their A/C froze up and the place was stifling hot so they were only limiting customers to areas they could circulate air with fans.
