“took me hours sometimes to get away here, never had problem with the staff because I would stand next to the building where cars pass by when leaving the station I never walk betweem the pumps because dangerous and staff will not allow this stand here next to the shopbuilding”

“As said before, the guys there don't want you to stand on the station's property, so you can't talk to the custommers. Had to spend the night there in a tent.”

“Unfriendly anti-hitchhiker (anti-social...) staff here on one occasion (out of four). I recommend not to feel intimidated and do as you would like to do: asking for rides.”

“Got a ride from a nice lady all the way down to Limburg”
