This happened at a truck stop a few days ago somewhere in G.A. I had roast beef and bread along with salt and pepper in my camper but I didn't have any mayo.
I pulled into a truck stop (I think it was Loves). I was raining hard and it was chilly and nasty out so I parked close to the store to avoid getting wet plus the arthritis in my knees was bothering me, all I needed to do was buy some mayo and hop back in my truck and be on my way. I was way off to the side and left plenty of room for a truck to get to the pumps. Heck there was probably enough room for a truck that was double the width of a normal truck to access the pumps. I was parked about 75 to 100 feet from the door and was about 20 feet from the door when a trucker asked if that was my truck (for a moment I thought he was going to compliment me on my new purchase). I told him it was my truck and he proceeded to tell me that people have gotten into fist fights over things like that and I better move my truck. I knew I was not blocking anything but I asked him what I was doing wrong. I don't remember the exact words but he said move your truck. I am not a professional big rig driver but there is no doubt I would have had enough room to drive a truck up to the pumps( my truck / camper was not anywhere near the pumps).
The fact it was raining hard and my knees were hurting bad an I would have to walk about 2,000 feet left me no choice but to hop back in the truck and drive to a supermarket (I found on my GPS) a couple miles down the road. The road to the supermarket ran parallel to the interstate I was on so it wasn't out of my way. I regret not photographing the layout so I could post it but I have never seen anyone get so upset about blocking access to pumps when the fact is the pumps were not being blocked.
