Go for fast food. Confused? Don’t be. Fast food restaurants are your best bet for clean, reliable rest stops. If you’re on a road trip, or if you’re just around town and have a bladder that’s a little uncooperative, then you will be very relieved to hear this advice.
I have been in two separate situations where I was traveling with others….and we found ourselves in desperate need of a pit stop. Against my wishes, they chose gas stations over the fast food places I suggested. One bathroom was out of order, and the other gas station didn’t even have one. So now, we have to get back into the car, go to another gas station and hope for the best. Why won’t they just go to a restaurant, they are completely ignoring my requests! Buy something at the restaurant if you want, but don’t feel obligated because they don’t really care.
Gas stations are terrible excuses for rest stops because as I mentioned above, some of them do not even have restrooms, they can be out of order, they are notorious for being disgusting, you have to ask where they are, you sometimes have to get a key, and there can be lines. How many more reasons do you need??? On the other hand, you always know where the restrooms are located in a fast food restaurant, stalls=no waiting, and generally I find they are pretty clean. I usually choose Wendy’s because they seem to have the highest standards.
So, if you find yourself in need of a tinkle, skip the gas station and go for the burger joint!

Ps, DO NOT use rest areas if you are alone, they're super creepy!
