    I first would have finished fueling, pulled up. Took my 30minute break. Then go get me some grub. Roll my eyes at the guy whose flirting with the cashier. Cleared my throat a few times. Finally pay for my cold pop which is now hot. Walk slowly back to the truck. Put my stuff up. Then I'd go up to those boys. Show them my ttr staff badge and tell them if they want to fight. Bring it to the Forum!! Yeeeeee hawwww

    I would have walked up, asked them both about their opinions on the market and if they feel the Univar IPO is worth buying into, gathered their opinions, and continued fueling.

    I'd stay away from Univar stock and instead go with AAT, Verizon, and Walmart which right now is near to start at 8 Am at....$72.73

    I stay out of Loves.

    Every time I've been to a Loves, the first 3 fuel islands are jammed pack, and drivers coming in to the truck stop are lined up out the driveway to get into the first 3 islands.

    Stupid. Trained by a stupid trainer to be a stupid driver working for a stupid company that thinks your stupid and treat you as such.

    I would have never thought that drivers would eventually become so stupid that they couldn't figure out how to drive in and out of a truckstop. 30 minute break? If you were just going to drive into the parking lot, and right back out, that takes 30 minutes or longer. Forget about the general public's perception of you guys, the general public's view is nowhere as bad as the guys and girls that work in the truckstops, restaurants and motels. Some of you guys are so stupid that you'd drown looking up in the rain.

    Ya done just fine Packrat!! Nothing wrong with letting a trashy "driver" know we are not putting up with stupid, childish behavior. Too many people just say "not my problem".

    I would like to think I may have gone over there and been some big tough guy, but in reality I just do not care enough about such a situation. I just want to get my fuel and leave. Now if a female were being assaulted that would be a different story. If I felt like it was getting way out of hand I might tell the staff inside ... but I would not be the first to actually go over there.

    Honestly, I do not really care to talk to anyone out here anymore. I just want to be left alone and go about my business. I like the "boring" days when nothing "exciting" happens ...

    By giving them attention your just fueling them. Best to ignore them, then they see that nobody cares.

    Key up the CB and do a Michael Buffer impression. Since packrat was out of his truck already, he could have done it live, right there.
