I was driving and exhausted I pulled over here and asked the gal behind the counter if I could take a nap. Offered to leave my number and show my license. I don't even get an hour sleep before a masked man in a security uniform banging on my door saying he can't have me sleeping here.
Seriously masked gunman at 2 in the morning!
