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
That works out well, I'd drive in the wrong side of the road too if I was a few Irish coffees deep!
Lol good answer
So how do people get to them?
That's not a truck stop.
Rest stop?
It's literally just a Taco Bell
That's just a stop. You usually see this of the side of the highway after an exit, and there will be a few other food options and gas stations available.
this one will give you food and gas!
Pacifica, CA. I went there once. They have a walk up window on the ocean side. Guess they started serving booze.
Not fair the Pacifica location is the Taj Mahal of Taco Bell.
OP image looks decent, I would send them to the Taco Bell in Kettlemen City in August for a terrible image.
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)
They have a full bar at this location.
That anyone would want to eat at Taco Bell? I’m confused.
Going by their sales its a lot of people: https://www.qsrmagazine.com/story/top-50-fast-food-chains-ranked-2025/
I won't say its food that's good for you, but I do love it occasionally.
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
I think it's more that the Taco Bell is seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but still has a bunch of people at it. That's my read anyway
It's wild to pretend that the Crunchwrap Supreme isn't delicious as hell
I'm not sure I quite comprehend it.

Does Europe even have that much open land left?
Do you believe all of europe is one mega city?
Be pretty killer if it was though.
Can I interest you in a Japan?
That was my biggest culture shock. I expected never ending cities and suburbs like in New England.
I waa going to write something snarky but instead I'm just going to recommend you spend some time browsing google earth or playing geoguesser.
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.
I drove from UK through Germany. There were soo many rest stops, well equipped with toilets, seating, plenty of parking, sometimes ev charging - I was gobsmacked.
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.
what am i lookig at, american?
A wide expansive scenery to accompany the finest gourmet poop that only Taco Bell can create.
Freedom!
Listen, it’s not our fault if you guys live in the backrooms!
Tbf this is how northern scandinavia looks like, especially certain parts of iceland id say.
Iceland yes, but Norway and Sweden usually have trees unless you're way up in the mountains.
How else would they get a taco in Kansas?
Ever hear of a boat smart guy? Sheesh
i swear ive been here in project zomboid
Wyoming most likely
Rapid city, South Dakota.
44.0958, -103.1491
Why anyone would start to Wyom, much less continue and name a state after that is a mystery
Suddenly late stage capitalism.
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.
