Newly remodeled showers are tiny, have no ventilation and nowhere to put your bag or to sit to put your socks on. The floor of my shower was super sticky!? (Ew!)
Everything about Pilot Fly J is CHEAP. They've become the KMart of the truckstops and that's actually not fair to KMart. Pilot ruins everything they touch. I can't imagine how bad they are to work for.
