TA security guard shoots driver/parking dispute

Thank you for helping me make my point.

 

Too bad the loss in TA's stock likely won't result in any policy changes at their locations. I had a (thankfully less gun-happy) encounter at the Vegas location where I watched their security droid run off several drivers who were NOT parked illegally OR in reserved spaces - myself included - with the comment that "you are only allowed to be here 45 minutes" when there was no signage to that point ANYWHERE around, and an obvious person living in their van parked on the lot for 3 days straight in the same spot (saw them as I was arriving and leaving the area). I'm amazed that the jerk let me be there long enough to get an overpriced shower... But that's the last time for me there. I know when I'm not welcome.

The management at the location didn't seem to care that their Napoleon-on-a-golf-cart was running off paying customers... But next time I'll be sure to go up to the PFJ in North Vegas and give THEM my money.

 

Ever been to a pilot near Dallas TX... Guards think they're s with their hands in the guns it's ridiculous plus majority of lots are laid parking

 

How come you didn't post your "I brought the DA a bouquet of flowers" story on this thread?

 

The security guard committed suicide on February 20.
TA' s stock was trading above $17 per share until February 25.
It now stands at $12.07 as of the end of trading February 28. The decline in the value of the stock mirrors that of the NASDAQ stocks in general in this week of unprecedented losses.
To tie the events at the TA in Oklahoma City to the stock price is simply not an accurate conclusion.

 

In Vegas I always parked at the Wild West Truck Stop or at the Cannery Casino in N. Vegas..

They don’t charge at the WW and it’s walking distance to the strip. Never had a problem there and I’ve taken three day breaks there multiple times.

The Cannery Casino has truck parking on the west side and has a movie theater and a pretty decent sports bar.

 

The Wild West does charge to park.

 

You know, I think someone is trying to take X1's mantel from him.....

 

Wrong.

The fact that the security guard killed himself was just social media rumor until the D.A. confirmed it publicly on the morning of Monday, Feb 24th.

The police P.I.O. sent out an email to me and others at 09:42. Look at the news agencies reporting it. They published their stories around 10AM on the 24th.

Let’s look at the Dow Jones that week:

Price Open Volume Change %
Feb 28, 2020 25,409.36 922.68M -1.39%
Feb 27, 2020 25,766.64 670.37M -4.42%
Feb 26, 2020 26,957.59 477.57M -0.46%
Feb 25, 2020 27,081.36 513.27M -3.15%
Feb 24, 2020 27,960.80 458.71M -3.55%

Cumulative Dow Jones daily loss -12.97%

T/A’s stock price took a massive 25% hit the day after the news went public. It was flat the other days. If it was correlated to the general Coronavirus market downturn you’d see negative returns mirroring the market on the other days as well. You don’t. You only see a massive drop the day following the press release.

 

Per their own Google Overview you genius: the first 48 hours are free and it’s $10/day after that.
