We've traveled across a bit of the US and one thing that is odd about most of the country is the lack of bathrooms. When you get fuel at a truck stop in Iowa there is most likely multiple stools, wash basins and urinals. The same holds true for places such as WalMart, Menards, Lowes, Home Depot and other stores. We have rest stops about every 40 miles on I80, they are nice, clean and even have wi-fi. So much of the rest of the country is lucky to have a rest stop in 100 miles and some are pretty poorly kept. No soap, no paper and filthy. Then the we've stopped at larger truck stops thinking it would be better but found bathrooms with one stool and one basin for a place that has 20 pumps. Sometimes I feel like much of the US is a 3rd world when it comes to amenities. |
