Jimmy John's restaurants Pilot gas stations
I stopped into a Pilot gas station for the first time a couple of months ago outside Dallas. I thought I was at a freak show. Announcing who is up next for shower, dude had trousers dropped at urinal wearing a diaper... Folks walking around with towels, other folks like me were looking at each other like wtf? Fun Fact / Music Trivia: That song was written by Randy Newman (the “Short People” song guy).

The YMCA, old people, some obviously go to Pilot also, wander around the locker rooms butt naked for uncomfortable amounts of time. Take your shower, dry off, put your clothes on in a timely manner and when you sit on the benches put a towel either on or down, nobody wants to sit down after old man arse. They act like it's a Roman bath house. My wife says the old women in the women's locker room are just as bad.

Taco Bell. For reasons of suck.
I’m about to put Wells Fargo on that list for incompetence and idiocy.
I’m not going to call out specific places, but WAWI did make a good point about avoiding old, nude people. Life is better that way.

A few years back I transferred to a new assignment. I needed a .308 patrol rifle. I was getting a nice tax refund, and contacted GA Precision about a GAP-10. I was told 10 months wait. So I contacted LaRue and was told 12 months. LMT said 8 - 10 months. So I snagged a DPMS G2. Now, I've never been impressed with DPMS' 5.56 / .223 rifles, but I've never seen a DPMS .308 / 7.62 NATO that didn't shoot like gangbusters. I have several friends who own 'em and love 'em.
The rifle I purchased came with one magazine. Magpul said on their website that their magazines work with the DPMS G2 .308, and I bought two of their twenty rounders with the rifle. The magazine that came with the rifle worked flawlessly; the Magpuls would double feed every second or third round with milspec ammo. I could not get through a qualification with the Magpuls. I played with them and inquired of numerous shooters. I finally called Magpul's tech support. I was not accusatory or condescending. I explained the problem and asked for help.
The nice man at Magpul Tech Support explained that the bolt carrier on my rifle was improperly cut and was dragging on the magazines' feed lips. I advised him that the feed lips on the defective magazines were pristine (after several hundred rounds); nothing was dragging on them. He then told me that the spring rates in my rifle were all wrong. I asked why the magazine that came with the rifle worked flawlessly, in spite of the improper spring rates. He told me that I had bought a "cheap piece of [censored]" and that nothing was going to work in it. I then thanked him for his time and crossed Magpul off of my list, and hung up. I then ordered three new Lancers. Naturally, the Lancers are 100% reliable. It's embarrassing for the agency's head firearms instructor to have to pull his rifle off the line due to constant double feeds every time he tries to qualify with it..............
As an interesting followup, the Chief purchased a bunch of Magpul 30 round magazines for the city's 5.56 / .223 ARs. They proved to be extremely unreliable, with numerous rifles constantly double-feeding during the quals.
I'll never spend a penny on a Magpul product again.
In retrospect, I should add that when I first told the nice man at Magpul that both magazines were double feeding, he told me that it is impossible for a Magpul magazine to double feed, and that I don't know what a double feed is.

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.
