    I get soooo tired of the people trying to run scams at T/S's.

    At one loves in Nevada, guy walks up to me and asks if I was an American.....

    So I answer, "why do you need to know that" he gets a bit bent at that and moves on down the fuel island. As I was heading into the fuel desk, I over hear him talking to another driver.

    Some BS of being a driver and needing some help, yammer, yammer.
    The driver he is talking to pulls out his wallet and gives the guy some cash.

    I watched this scammer walk out the front of the loves and get into a new Ford King Ranch F-250, drive across the street to another T/S.

    guess he was going to work that one as well.

    I carry a bunch of those .25 cent roman noodle packs you buy at Walmart... OK, I bought some and they dont cook up too well so I have extras. Get these need money for food morons comming up to my window telling me their sob story and how hungry they are... Well, I now toss em a pack of noodles! Funny how pissed off they get, most throw em on the ground even fewer have actually said thanks. They especially dont like it when I tell them... "Thats what I just had for dinner.... Not good enough for you?" Give me money...Give me a cigarette...Im hungry... Get a job!
