Kangaroo Express

I stop at a lot of gas stations as I drive between Virginia and Georgia almost every weekend.
There was a long wait in the bathroom, then the soap dispenser I initially went to was out of soap so I went to another, wherein the sink closest to THAT didn’t work, the. The paper towel dispenser next to that was broken, too.
Nobody here is polite, to include the wonderful, oh so classy folks working at Hardee’s.
Also, gas is almost .20 more expensive per gallon than other places nearby.
SO glad traffic on 95 was at a complete stop and forced me to take my gas/​food break here… not…

Ummmmmmmm… just not a good experience. Pump #5 wasnt working and the gas station had about 10 trash cans all filled to the brim and overflowing. I told two people in the store and they basically brushed me off. Additionally the bathroom was just plain ol nasty. It looks like it hadnt been cleaned in a few days and had that public restroom stinch. Ugh. Wish i would have kept on driving. Lol

It’s actually a 2.5 star. Kangaroo is being taken over so things are a little chaotic. To use the showered we waited over an hour before we could put our names on the list because there’s only 3 showers available. Once we did put of name on the waiting list the cashiers didn’t know who had showered and who was waiting because no one took the time to scratch off the names.
The showered weren’t the cleanest could use a little bleach to get the mold and mildew off the walls. But being on the road you gotta take what they have or keep it moving.

As far gas stations go this one is a winner. Reasonably clean bath rooms, except to the MAN employee that made me do a double take when I opened the women’s restroom room door, as he stood there washing his hands. He said «I’m sorry mam I musta walked in the wrong one by mistake». Creepy!!! Not in north Carolina I reckon. The rest of the staff was pleasantly polite and helpful. The store was also reasonably clean and well stocked.

This location is under Pilot ownership as far as the trucking portion goes. So, if you’re a member of Pilot/​Flying J your rewards and everything will work here.
Friendly staff and clean facility. My biggest issue is the shower rooms did not have a toilet! That’s the first truck stop shower I’ve ever gotten that just had a shower and a sink. It kind of sucks if you pay for your showers because it’s still $ 12 like it would be at any major truck stop, but you don’t have a full bathroom.
The only option they have to eat here besides the gas station food is a Hardee’s (which if your from Cali is pretty much Carl’s Jr.)
There’s no personal washing machines here, just one for the staff to wash towels etc. These showers use actual keys instead of a keypad.

Watch out for the cigarette selling scam man that works the Truckstop. I watched him get 2 drivers. One for $ 40, the other for $ 60!
He was gone before anybody figured out what happened.
Manager says he’s a regular there. Works the lot a few times a week. Always gone by the time they hear he’s been out back claiming to have cheap smokes by the carton.

I had a very different experience than Amy did. I too went only for a bottle of water, the cashier alerted me to a special they had running that allowed me to get 3 bottles of water for $ 1 instead of 1. She was very friendly. Place is clean and well stocked. Clean toilet rooms.

The place was nicely stocked for a gas station and the bathrooms were reasonable. The staff was terribly rude. Sure all I wanted was a bottle of water, but to look at me then ignore me when all I want is to buy my water and get back on the road is pretty rude. And to be so blatant about it? You could at least TRY and pretend you can’t see me directly in front of you while you continue your conversation about the pricing of something I am not buying…
