Chowhound published another list of items to avoid at a gas station that include a few more specifics including:

  • slushies - based on a report by York Daily Record, gas stations tend to have issues with the soda machines, ice machines, and slushie machines.  Meaning, mold, mildew, and other harmful items have been reported on these areas due to a lack of cleaning properly.
  • nachos - it is difficult for these establishments to keep the cheese sauce at the necessary temperature
  • hot dogs - most of the rollers for the hot dogs at gas stations lack sneeze-guards or a way to protect the food from outside elements.  It is also difficult to regulate the temperature for this food item to ensure it is safe.  Plus, you have no idea when those hot dogs were placed on that roller.
