Europe has truck stops too.
I went to one in Ireland where they sold Irish coffee and it was sublime.

Sure, but they're on the wrong side of the road
That works out well, I'd drive in the wrong side of the road too if I was a few Irish coffees deep!
Lol good answer

That's not a truck stop.
Rest stop?
It's literally just a Taco Bell
That's just a stop. You usually see this of the side of the highway after an exit, and there will be a few other food options and gas stations available.
this one will give you food and gas!

Pacifica, CA. I went there once. They have a walk up window on the ocean side. Guess they started serving booze.
Not fair the Pacifica location is the Taj Mahal of Taco Bell.
OP image looks decent, I would send them to the Taco Bell in Kettlemen City in August for a terrible image.

That anyone would want to eat at Taco Bell? I’m confused.
Going by their sales its a lot of people: https://www.qsrmagazine.com/story/top-50-fast-food-chains-ranked-2025/
I won't say its food that's good for you, but I do love it occasionally.
I used to eat it more often than I should, then at some point it got more expensive than just going to locally owned actual Mexican restaurants. So now I just do that. The food is way better, cheaper, and you get more food. And it feels good to support local rather than some enormous publicly traded corporation
crunchwrap, nacho fries. they got my number. granted I have not eaten fast food in years. when it was a paltry amount I indulged in it to regularly but now it might as well be costingtons.

I think it's more that the Taco Bell is seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but still has a bunch of people at it. That's my read anyway
It's wild to pretend that the Crunchwrap Supreme isn't delicious as hell

Does Europe even have that much open land left?
Do you believe all of europe is one mega city?
Be pretty killer if it was though.
Can I interest you in a Japan?
That was my biggest culture shock. I expected never ending cities and suburbs like in New England.

You Americans should see the truck stops in the Netherlands. You can have proper food and bathrooms/showers actually look nice.
Those exist here, too. The US is a very big place (your whole country is the size of a small state) with a ton of truck stops, there's bound to be crappy ones especially in the middle of nowhere.
Not sure that's a truck stop in the photo, though. Looks like a fast food/gas pit stop for general travelers.
I drove from UK through Germany. There were soo many rest stops, well equipped with toilets, seating, plenty of parking, sometimes ev charging - I was gobsmacked.

Everyone keeps thinking this is a highway stop. Yeah no. Thats not a highway. I am pretty sure that is just a tacobell at the edge of a farm town.
So yeah apparently it couldn't be comprehended.

Tbf this is how northern scandinavia looks like, especially certain parts of iceland id say.
Iceland yes, but Norway and Sweden usually have trees unless you're way up in the mountains.

How else would they get a taco in Kansas?
Ever hear of a boat smart guy? Sheesh
Suddenly late stage capitalism.
Wyoming most likely
Why anyone would start to Wyom, much less continue and name a state after that is a mystery
"We're gonna go live over there "
"Why? OMG."
Then whyomg
Wyomng
Wyoming
None of that's true, but it could have been if history happened differently.
"O.M.G. Could our wagon horses go any slower"
TIL: Chandler's ancestors were equally sarcastic.
