Shame on you Antonio
Just stopped at your gas station in El Rosario. We waited specifically to support you and your rescue operation. I made my handicapped wife wait to
her discomfort. The bathrooms were closed with a sign that there was no water. That was a boldfaced LIE (una mentira). There was plenty of water at
the mop area tap. Baja California, like much of the world, has a water problem. You are not unique. If you run a gas station and take peoples
money to support your empire you have a responsibility to have an open and clean restroom. That's just the way it is my friend. We will not be
stopping in the future. I would like to suggest others may want to do (not do) the same.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Aren´t the bathrooms new? Maybe the water wasn´t connected? Did you ask anybody there?

Boycott shaming.....
You say that YOU made your wife wait....and was your contribution to his "empire" a bano deposit?
A monetary donation at the motel office would have been simple....buying gas isn't a donation....it's just business....

Just a suggestion, please wait for Antonio to reply to this BEFORE Damning him for good.
There could vary well be a legit explanation.
This is coming from a lifelong plumber. (me)
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Email from Antonio
Wanting the facts, as always...
I copied the post and emailed it to Antonio so he could reply. He is so busy not only with all the things he does in El Rosario but his dad, Antonio
Sr., is in the hospital...
Dear David,
Thank you for the heads up. I am the hospital right now attending to m Dad. He is not doing very well due to his kidney cancer.
I will respond to BajaNomad as soon as I get back home.
Just a quick comment, Weebray is right, but I cannot provide what I do not have. The water well in town dried out and I have been getting a little bit
from the local farmers, just enough to keep the motel open, but unfortunately not enough for the gas station restrooms.
What Weebray saw is the little water we are comply by law to keep as reserve for fuel spills and/or any emergencies.
We have been struggling with this water problem for a few months now, but it got worst a couple of months ago. I am already taking measures to solve
it though.
I will explain all these and more on the BajaNomad site.
I need t get back to my Dad... thanks Bro.
Hugs to you and Liz!!!
Antonio
Antonio is such an honorable and kind person, I wish you all could meet him and appreciate what he does for everyone. Our grief goes out for his
father in his final days...
Antonio (BajaCactus) and Antonio Sr at jrbaja's place in 2004 when we met them.

Not cool to blast a business/person in a public forum without knowing facts.

Kudos and Complaints
I'm reminded of advice I was given in business 40+ years ago and have repeated often:
"A happy customer might tell his friends. An unhappy customer will tell everybody he can."
It's a tendency that the Web has enhanced exponentially and which is demonstrated reading customer reviews on any product or service.

If the bathroom is closed, I have noticed a lot of wide desert along that highway - you can pull off most anywhere and have lots of privacy to do your
business 
Woke!

We pulled over a little past Chapala, as I had to poop. Walked way off the road, up some rocks, and behind a bush.
I'm squatting down doing my business and spot some TP a few feet from me. Apparently, the desert is not as big and wide as we think.

Sanitario Searching
In Mexico ???????
" ........you have a responsibility to have an open and clean restroom ......... "
Good Luck on that one. Those are far and few.
BTW, in fairness to the original post, a wee in the weeds or a dump in the desert may be a
challenge for a handicapped person.

Aas Antonio said, Weebray is correct. Quict dumping (whoops) on him.

Antonio is a class act
Yes, I have had my frustrations with his station
Enduring the endless years of bano upgrade
Last two times there we hit the "every four hours we shut down the pumps to read the meters" moment.
But, it is certainly a cut above the norm
and my brief times with him have always been good moments
He operates under difficult circumstances to say the least.
And deserves better than a blanket suggestion to shun his station.

Its just as easy to visit the Los Pinos station or now the new one in Catavina. Competition is good, right?

That sounds like a major problem for Antonio and the rest of El Rosario. I wonder what the town is going to do.
