I never pull up when done. I roll in and rarely wait as there is usually one open. I run in and leave a card, fuel, and go back in to sign and go.

I would be very cautious about letting anyone out during the stops. It is a very bustling area with trucks in and out and I certainly would not let my wife stroll into some truck stops. They can be unsavory at times. Know your surroundings.
I prefer the truck stops over a regular quickie mart gas station. And you can usually top the DEF off from the pump a lot cheaper than the boxed DEF.
