Have you been to the 49’er in Sacramento, California lately?
We had a delivery in the vicinity and headed over to what used to be one of our favorite truck stops. For as long as I can remember the 49’er has been a pay lot and that was way WAY before Pilot bought them. Yes, it is a pay lot but there are a few perks we like, one is that we can plug the truck in and this has always been free, more on this later, the second perk is that there are a lot of walking trails just over the bridge, and the third perk is the Black Bear Diner and their Cheeseburger Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese dressing.
Recently we noticed a huge change and that was the loss of the workers in the little building where we would pay to get out. These ladies were always very nice, and often if you had a pet, they would ask if they could give them a small treat. The building had a lot of blooming plants on the steps and the staff was cheery. While we were handing over our hard-earned money, we always left with a smile. Now there is an inanimate grouchy touchy machine.
