Yeah, like the mom & pop in Crossett, AR near the GP plant. They only had hand towels to dry off with. No soap (not a big deal as I had my own, but what if I didn't?), no A/C upstairs where the showers were (this is August, mid afternoon), no toilet in the room with the shower.
Real quality stuff. $5 and I managed to get clean. Barely.
It seems to me that you can have a bad shower at any truck stop. Corporation (I'm talking to you, Windwalker) or not. My experience in Crossett is a perfect example.
Unless you can talk about a specific shower number (#4 at the Flying J in Rawlins, for instance) and not give your opinion, only facts, shower 'reviews' are just hyperbole.
1) sulfur smelling water
2) broken tiles
3) loose toilet seat (watch your balls, guys)
4) no power at the outlet
5) no deadbolt on door
These are examples of genuine, non-opinion based comments that are actually helpful. Blanket statements only serve to make n00bs freaked out.
