    Anybody else notice this? Since last summer they've shut down more and more of their soda fountains so you can no longer get "shots" of water to fill up a water bottle. Never mind that they don't have any means to just get a regular cup of water from their fountains (like a McD's has).

    The last few months I haven't been to any Pilot/Flying J where I could fill up with with water. Yet when I pass by the checkout counter I notice they've got a barrel filled with ice, holding BOTTLED WATER $$$.

    We spend huge amounts for diesel. Yet Pilot/Flying J thinks it's good business to nickel and dime truckers for a basic necessity of life. :biggrin_25510:

    Bathroom sink works fine. I see drinking fountains everywhere. Use them

    get yourself a couple gallons at Walmart... It's like 80 cents or a buck.

    at least that water is filtered

    You can blame these nasty homeless drivers we have out there today.They come in smelling like a nasty wasteland with a homeless mentality.

    They get this cup that looks like a garbage can with a handle on it and fill it up.Then they expect to pay $1.00 for it.Then you get these real winners waddling around in the truck stops with there snoopy PJ's on filling up there #### coolers with ice and water...Then you get the coffee cheap guys filling up 10 thermos's and want to pay for 1 refill...

    I am sure the truck stops are tired of the cheap gluttony truck drivers..I seen this coming a long time ago..

    Yes, but if they start charging $ 0.50 to take a dump I wonder what the answer would be then... where does this greed end???
