It's the wee hours of the morning. If you are a traveler low on gas, Friendly Service is a welcome sight. If you live in the vicinity and you run out of an essential item such as ice, it's good to know Friendly Service is there. There is no garage or mechanic on duty, but the pumps and the convenience store are always open. The store is clean and well-lit and offers a wide variety of beverages and snacks, in addition to pet food, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and over-the-counter medicine. The coffee is always hot and comes in 10 different varieties.
