I stopped recently at the service area on the Western KY parkway that has a small station and an Arby's slash gift shop. The only pump I could get to with the TT was the outside lane and of course there is a car parked there with nobody around. I queued up in line and now am blocking a bunch of parking spaces behind me. I waited a good 15 minutes as people were knocking on my window because I was blocking them in their spots....
Finally two kids and their young son come strolling out as I am standing next to the Suburban, so I joked, "Wow takes a long time to pay!" The girl responded "We didn't pay, we were having lunch.". Okayyyyy....well, go ahead and move your car, I said, I'm blocking folks in. Here comes the kicker......"We still have to get gas."
So they parked at the pump to go inside and eat lunch!!!
Our usual routine is DW goes inside to the loo and to get drinks/snacks...I run into the TT to pee while the gas is pumping. We are ready to go by the time the pump is done. If we want to have lunch and relax we park elsewhere.
