Europe has truck stops too.

I went to one in Ireland where they sold Irish coffee and it was sublime.

    Sure, but they're on the wrong side of the road

    Pacifica, CA. I went there once. They have a walk up window on the ocean side. Guess they started serving booze.

    Linda Mar taco bell is a whole different level. Where else can you surf a usually barely decent often closing out wave with various degrees of nasty runoff from the parking lot, 10,000 kooks, and great whites, and then take a break on a cold norcal beach drinking a boozy Baja blast freeze?

    (As I type all that out I realize it doesnt sound great but honestly Linda Mar can sometimes be totally heaven on earth)

    I used to eat it more often than I should, then at some point it got more expensive than just going to locally owned actual Mexican restaurants. So now I just do that. The food is way better, cheaper, and you get more food. And it feels good to support local rather than some enormous publicly traded corporation

    You Americans should see the truck stops in the Netherlands. You can have proper food and bathrooms/showers actually look nice.

    Those exist here, too. The US is a very big place (your whole country is the size of a small state) with a ton of truck stops, there's bound to be crappy ones especially in the middle of nowhere.

    Not sure that's a truck stop in the photo, though. Looks like a fast food/gas pit stop for general travelers.

    Everyone keeps thinking this is a highway stop. Yeah no. Thats not a highway. I am pretty sure that is just a tacobell at the edge of a farm town.

    So yeah apparently it couldn't be comprehended.

    Yeah, I really can't comprehend how the sale of toxic waste is allowed, especially as food. Even the McDonald's in my country can't be conpared to the ones in the US, as over here there are high food quality and health standards. Eating unhealthy doesn't give you instantly type 2 diabetes and morbid obesity. Eating unhealthy in my country is still considered healthy by US standards.

    Its a fair bet that the person who who created the original has only seen Europe, or the rest of the world on TV.
