I have sooooo many! We had a guy come in with four stab marks to his chest and all he wanted to do was call his mom. We called the cops for him and it turned out that his girlfriend had stabbed him. When the cops showed up they told him to just go home... One of my coworkers had a gun pulled on him because he opened a can of soda and it made a loud pop that it scared the customer. Had this person accidentally put their car in drive instead of reverse and they drove into the store. The power went out in the store and as protocol we have to evacuate when that happens. We had a customer screaming at the top of her lungs that we were trying to sexually assault her when we tried to get her to leave the store. A semi truck driver drove over two of our gas pumps because she couldn't turn correctly and then she fled the scene. Gas was literally spilling everywhere. Luckily we caught it all on video so we were able to contact her company and get her to take responsibility for the

"Worked at a gas station while I was in college. My manager was just a few years older than me and kind of a flirt. We're just casually chatting one day and he comes across a pile of fecal matter in front of the soda fountain. He asks me why I let someone bring their pet into the store. (This was before service dogs were common) I said that I didn't see any pets. He volunteered to pick it up so I thought I would help by retrieving paper towels from the ladies room. Returning with the paper towels, my nose matches the smell of the ladies room with the pile on the floor as I eerily utter, "That ain't dog poop!". Best I can tell, an older lady (still in bathroom stall) pooped her pants and it just sort of rolled out as she crossed the store. "

As a maintenance guy at one: last night a guy insisted on keeping his shower door ajar so that the hackers would think he had left. I don't know about that one. I've had a truck driver have a heart attack when I worked security for an Aldi distribution center. But mostly when changing trash it's like cleaning out portable toilets. Diesel area and gas islands. But mostly the diesel. Every now and then someone leaves a couple dollars in the shower and that's nice.

"Chilling in a rest area lounge and this kid, couldn't be older than 6, walks in by himself looks in my general direction (felt like he was staring through my chest) and said "I'm going to shit in my pants" and then silently played in the water fountain for a few minutes before a parent or guardian of some kind came and got him. Honestly I've never been more scared of a child in my life. "

I worked at a weigh station for big rigs. There were two of us at the station working nights waiting for trucks to pull onto the scale. If anything weighing more than a pound got on the scale it would send an audible beep into the booth and light up the computers. If it wasn't a trucks then most of the time it would be the wild life wondering out onto the scale which we would ignore then quickly go back to watching Netflix or whatever. One night though it was something weighing 132 lbs. We couldn't see it from the windows but checking the cameras we noticed it was a hunched over naked man shaking like a shitting dog and scratching the side of his face. While my co-worker radioed for the State Troopers I used the intercom to tell him to get off of the scale. Instead he lurched on over and began licking the window. He did this until he was checked out by EMS and taken away by Law Enforcement for public intoxication. It was later discovered he was using meth.

My stepfather was a correctional officer who was transporting prisoners from facility to facility twenty years ago when the bus stopped at a rest stop. During a sweep of the bathroom he found a flip phone. He secured it and processed the inmates in and out of the can when the phone rang. The phone's owner identified himself as Chuck Mangione and asked if they could meet up at the next Thruway exit and they did. Mr. Mangione got his phone back.

"Not an employee but one of my favorite stories I've gathered in a long life comes from a truck stop. Another soldier in my platoon was a truck driver before he joined the Army and my favorite story he told me was when he was parked across from a line of trucks at a truck stop in the Midwest. He watched a Lot Lizard (truck stop prostitute) jump out of one guys truck and walk over to a mud puddle where she squatted over it and proceeded to "wash herself" for about 10 seconds, then headed over to the next guys truck and jumped in. About 15 minutes later she did the same thing. He sat there eating his truck stop dinner watching her work her way all the way down the line, all the while using the same mud puddle in between each truck. To this day I don't know why, but that image is so vivid of her squatting over that mud puddle. "

Cops used to hang around the stop I worked at in HS. We were told to comp them coffee, and sandwiches, but I'd give the cigarettes too. One of my regulars gave me a very good piece of advice. He told that I should never hit the silent alarm while a robbery was going on. He said that it is never good to have a dude pointing a gun at you when the PoPo show up. You'd end up dead, or a hostage. Let them leave, and get a license plate number.

I am an American and was traveling in Italy on a bus with other college students. We stopped at a highway rest stop that had a convenience/grocery store. We all got waters or snacks so there was a line of like 15 or so waiting to pay at a single register manned by a teenager. Some Italian dad with a young kid freaked out about the line size (I'm sure that we were all American students didn't help) and was screaming at the cashier that he wouldn't wait and was demanding to jump the line and pay for whatever he had. She screamed right back that she wouldn't and he had to wait on line to pay. He refused and left with all the stuff he planned on buying (ie stole). Cashier just shrugged it off and kept ringing us up. That would not fly in the US and I will never forget it. I do like though how Italians get to blow up at each other publicly seemingly without violence or consequence.

"This is not my story, but I remember when it happened. It's more of a freaky "trucker pulled over to sleep and gets an uninvited guest" story than a truck stop/rest area story. One very early morning before dawn, someone tries to get a ride from a trucker who has pulled off the highway to rest. The trucker declines to give the man a ride. This genius then decides to climb under the truck and hold on. This trucker heads down 80, through Berkeley/Oakland and onto 880 South, headed towards San Jose. Sometime just before Hayward, his stowaway falls off. It's still dark. No one can see the guy, so he gets hit repeatedly and ends up spread across all lanes of traffic. All lanes end up being closed. I worked in Hayward at the time, and my normal 30 minute commute was a three hour disaster. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Body-struck-repeatedly-on-I-880-identified-as-2497535.php "
