    The major ts chains have more business than they can handle. Almost every parking lot is full by 18:00 hours, the fuel islands are pumping at 80% of capacity, they are charging premuim prices for everyday items in the store. In short they don't need to do anything to attract customers. So why spent revenue on something civilized like keeping the place maintained, clean and attractive.
    They will come no matter what.

    How about Louise's on old 22 in Clinton NJ, or Johnnie's right down the road (before it was a Pilot)

    1962 I was 9 years old Dad was transfered from N Andover Mass to Allentown NJ. Had to take 22 west from NJTP. I was sure we were going to be killed by the ghetto people as we passed thru the Oranges. Nothing in Newbury Mass had prepared me for that sight
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.
