Angry JR let me down

I delivered yesterday afternoon in Smithfield, NC. When I left the customet, I could see the JR Cigars store through the trees. Since the best my boss could do was a pickup this morning, I decided to go over there and check the place out and maybe have a smoke in their lounge. Boy-Howdy was I disappointed. "No Truck Parking" signs all over the place. Somehow I'm just not feeling the love.

So you are upset because a retail outlet does not have parking for, I assume, a tractor-trailer rig? You must really hate the drive-thru windows at Burger King!

Their billboards are plastered all over the southeast bragging about how HUGE their stores and selections are. You would think they could spare room to park a handful of 65' long vehicles.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is an Arby's near Kokomo, IN that has a drive through for big trucks.

I'm sure there must be a city ordinance associated with the "no parking yur big rig" signs. JR most likely would love to have your business, but is respecting local code for not having a bunch of big rigs cluttering up traffic patterns in town, etc...

BTW, I wonder if the other stores in NC have these signs, or if it is just this particular JR store?

I go to the JR Store in Selma/Smithfield all the time, they have plenty of Truck and RV parking. I don't know what could have happened. In fact, the regular outlet in now closed and just the cigar store remains. I wouldn't think parking would be problem.

I'm heading done there tomorrow, I'll scope it out.

Stopped by JR's yesterday and saw the sign. That's been there for years but no one pays attention to it. I told the manager about what happend and he felt bad. Now that the outlet part is closed, you can park a fleet of trucks in there.

He says feel free to stop in. Starting sometime in February, the new cigar store will open, including a 5,500 square foot lounge. I can't wait.
