Gateway Travel Plaza — Local services in Palestine

It's still a new store with big clean bathrooms. They have a large selection of beverages; hot, cold and alcoholic. 😁 They have fair selection of snacks hencho en Mexico. A good variety of chips, pork skins and the usual snack items and candies. They sell Texas made and Texas "swag", novelty items and original art. They have a lot of items young kids will want and of course it's all at ground level up to 3 or 4 feet 🤔 They have a good selection of jerky also. They have a deli/short order menu, the usual assortment of fried items and in the mornings you can get breakfast sandwiches, biscuits, breakfast burritos and some pigs in a blanket. 😝👮‍♀️👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🛏😜 The deli sandwiches are kinda high and I had a girl cook the person behind me in lines food before mine once. They have ice cream and one of those shake/smoothie machines. They have ?fresh? boiled peanuts. It is a truck stop so they have the usual trucker section but it seems smaller than most. Never seen any 🦎🦎🦎 There's a Denny's connected. It sucks stick with the store....

This place is pathetic. It was 9:30 pm and I wanted a shower. One cashier told me they didn't have showers at the moment because they closed the showers at 10 pm. I asked a different cashier was it 10 pm yet and she immediately got an rude, aggressive, angry attitude. I quickly apologized and told her that it was my intention to make her mad. She then claimed not to be mad but you didn't need a polygraph to know that was a lie. I then asked her about the showers and she said they close them at 9:30 pm. I pointed out how one of them said 10 pm and since it wasn't 10 yet she just claimed the time was 9:30 pm. Now before all of this I purchased diesel, $388.17 worth. I was covered in dirt and just spent nearly $400 but wasn't allowed to take a quick shower because this place is pathetic. The food is garbage and not pilot/flying j food. They allow trucks to block the parking lot. They're rude and don't want to...

Stood in line at the deli to get my food. Where I approached the deli. She turns around and skips over me and waits on another guy. When I say excuse me, she says oh I didn't even see you there, but standing there for the last 7 minutes, in line. Third person in lthen. What second of all, if they don't have no independence, no staplers, no stationary or anything for a truck driver to purchase, starting with a truck stop anymore. Smaller. It's more like a miniature buckeyes. Selling a little nicknam, ax and stuff like that. Trying to make rich off a stupid stuff. We're really disappointed in the service and the people.The older woman in there I could like I was.I feel like I had to plague or something because I asked if she had any stationary for sale.I couldn't find it and they couldn't find it.Neither they do have a small section for log books.But no pins to write with that you can buy...
