Why I hate the Flying J in Phoenix

Yeah ummm, I’d probably skip this one.
Even if it meant not showering for a day maybe two. Little extra deodarent and couple extra spritz of cologne should be good. Maybe change socks and undies just for good measure. If no skids no problemo then.

 

i used to always get a knock from a mildly attractive woman asking if I wanted some company

 

I once had a guy knocking on my door at the Circle K at 35th Ave and Buckeye.

 

How many showers do they have ?

I don’t get out much

 

Smart move. This was in the early nineties. I got punked I guess. I barely got parked and a person, unable to determine the gender,
was pulling on the door. What in the world? He says you want a gay date? Uh no. So another driver heard him on the radio. Oh yeah I'm in the blue and white
KW pulling in. I turned the radio up and heard a driver say "Good job so & so" You could have gotten someone hurt. I had a good laugh over it.
That place was the Wild West at onetime.

 

I used to reserve parking at the J and then walk across and buy a shower at Danny’s. Better showers and also cleaner. At least they used to be. Haven’t been there since the sale.

 

Ahhhh dang man that's nothing. I remember seeing a shower wait of 48 guests in Aurora, CO. Lol. In all seriousness, gotta get that shower before you get into Phoenix if going westbound. That last time I went out there I had to get a shower in Albuquerque. Even that was a bit of a wait.

 

That’s why I keep a large plastic tub, that I put all my clothes and things in and when I need an emergency shower, I can take everything out of it, put the plastic tub on the floor and then I have a Shower pump thing with a shower head on it…. I warm up a large pot of water. Mix it into another container until it’s lukewarm and I stand inside the tub. I spray myself down, turn the water off, lather up and then rinse. It’s not the best shower, but it will do in a pinch.

also, I can’t stand that flying J there in Phoenix. Total circus. There are all kinds of commercial side streets within a mile of that place where you can park on the side of the street.
