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.

Average Autobahn stop looks better than than so, yeah, kinda?
Suddenly late stage capitalism.
What part are they talking about?
...yes we do? We have highways with service stations that look like this
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.
I literally am right now so yeah. But i do agree most places have trees, but starting with mellannorrland there are highlands which are very barren. Its just that basically nobody lives here.
Norway as had a different policy than Sweden so we stil have a rural population. And spart from the really northern part we dont have that taiga "look"
The cartoonist Kellerman even comments on it when he is driving to Arjeplog from Norway how Norway is like Lord of the Rings and then when you get to Sweden it's Lilja4Ever
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.

Pacifica, CA. I went there once. They have a walk up window on the ocean side. Guess they started serving booze.
What ungodly hour did they take that picture? That parking lot is always impossibly full lol.
Probably photoshopped everything out. The beach and Bell were slammed when I went as well.
That location does look somewhat nice. A pity they only sell organic waste in there.
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.
Its a fair bet that the person who who created the original has only seen Europe, or the rest of the world on TV.
Europe has truck stops too.
I went to one in Ireland where they sold Irish coffee and it was sublime.
That's not a truck stop.
Sure, but they're on the wrong side of the road
I'm not sure I quite comprehend it.
Listen, it’s not our fault if you guys live in the backrooms!
