Very, apparently. Just returned from a 9 day roadtrip to visit the grandkids, and there's enough accumulated insect DNA on my windshield to repopulate the planet with bugs ten times over. Because apparently no one in the southeast quadrant of the country ever washes bugs off their windshields, and gas stations can't be bothered to furnish and/or maintain such luxuries anymore.

Tennessee? 0 for 3 Georgia? 0 for 4 Florida? 1 for 3 Alabama? 0 for 1* Missouri? 1 for 3

To be clear, sometimes I got gas there anyway, and other times I drove on.

*Special consolation prize for the Shell station in Calera, AL. They had 6 washer buckets and 5 squeegees - 5 were dry as a bone and the 6th had maybe 3/4 of an inch of festering bug-part gelatin with a bubbly surface and horrid stench.

Everything is turning to shit in this world - and these locales weren't even necessarily heavily nog infested. I'm going to pick up a bug-gunk remover sponge and keep it and a squirt bottle of dilute washer fluid in the truck now. This phenomenon has been occuring more and more frequently the past few years, and will likely continue its downward trajectory.

Based on how my windshield and grill look at present, there's no way in hell I'll ever eat zee bugz.

I went inside the stations in Missouri and Florida and made a point of thanking them for having them, and requested that they please continue to do so. Told the Alabama station they got an honorable mention for having them, but they'd be much more functional if they were wet. Based on the glazed-over stares that resulted, I'm pretty sure my snark went right over their heads.
