“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Didn't have have any problems with the staff. One even offered us stuff to make a sign of where we wanted to go. Got a ride to the next gas station behind Eindhoven in about 30 minutes.”
