It's really sad that most can't find a hot meal, a shower, and in some cases, a place to park for the night. Yet, the general public expects their supplies to somehow magically arrive on time to the stores.

He said there were few places where it was possible to access a toilet and they really relied on the facilities at delivery spots.

The goods get shipped to a central warehouse which then collates the goods into a trailer to go to the store. It is the warehouses which are denying access to the toilets. It doesn't matter how messed up they get, they should be cleaned. It is illegal not to allow visiting drivers use of the facilities.

In addition to the actions being heartless and insulting, they should remember that their business will stop if the truck/lorry drivers stop delivering. My goodness they deliver food, medicine, everything.
