Was there anything else noteworthy about your fuel island experience?:
When I went in to get my fuel receipt after using the card reader so that I could get a shower, no one behind the desk could find it! Nor could they find it in their computer system after swiping my card!

Where in the world were the truck stop’s cleaning crew or janitorial staff to allow this fuel bay to get in such a state of filthiness?
