Not being a smart Aleck, but if you own it then you can set the rules. The owners set that policy for the reason I said above and they are doing very well with their stores and policies so far. I heard this on a local radio show from someone who had the owners explain that policy.

Right.
Nothing against the truckers. We need them. But that's not the target market for this business.
Even those stations which do target market to the truckers usually have divided stations where the truckers access is in a different area designed for trucks.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

What happened to Stuckey's? I searched on it. The founder sold the business. The buyer realized that more money could be made by selling the real estate than by operating the stores.
