Showers are nice. Usually alot of parking is open. Food isn't the healthiest but its something when you're hungry.

Went here Friday morning to get a lottery ticket and no one behind the counter has no idea how to work the lottery can't imagine when the lottery got to almost over a billion dollars and no one there even knows how to work a lottery machine that's not good for business it seems like the people that are working behind the counter only want to check but don't want to do any kind of work or any kind of outside of the box thinking to get anything going or helping customers
