Well today at work was very emotional. About an hour before I was to get off of work, this young girl came in with two big bags. She said "I know you guys dont usually do this, but could I give you my ring in exchange for a 5 dollar phone card so I can get home" and then burst into tears. I swear I started crying to. I told her to keep her ring and then bought her a 5 dollar phone card. She went outside to the phone booths and then I closed out my drawer to go home. About 5 mins before I was to leave this other girl came in. She bought a beer, and though she was nice, she was kind of loopy. Well I then went outside to wait for my ride and spotted both girls around the corner. Turns out the loopy girl was talking to the stranded girl and was offering her to stay at her hotel for the night. Stranded girl was able to get ahold of someone but they wont be able to come until tomorrow, but Im happy that someone offered her a place to stay for the night. I would have, but I live with the family and I doubt they would have allowed it.
I stood out there talking to them and I found out the girl came here for Spring Break with her friend and and her friend's boyfriend. The boyfriend beat the hell out of her friend and stranded girl stood up for her. Then the boyfriend kicked her out of the car and guess what her friend did! Started yelling at her too! She stood up for her friend who was getting knocked around and she turned around and kicked her out 3000 miles away from home...leaving her stranded. What kind of crap is that?
Anyways this situation gets much stranger...the three of us were outside talking and this really nice porsche drove up. He sat there for about 15 mins doing nothing. I walked back in the store to do something and when I came out he was pulled up talking to the girl that was stranded. He then drove back to one of the pumps and sat there again. I went up to her to ask what he wanted and she said he offered to pay her for sex. I was like wtf???? He then drove up to me and the loopy girl and gave us this spiel. He said his girlfriend is out of town and he likes rough sex....and he's willing to pay for it. But he said it so mechanically, like he was reading a script. He gave us his card and it said he rebuilds boats for a living. Whatever, his car was *too* nice for that and he was dressed in some expensive clothes. His hehavior was much like a robot's, he was emotionless. And his eyes... He ended up leaving and I got his license plate number. I went inside and called the cops and said there is a guy offering money for sex and gave them the license and car make information. But see I wouldnt have bothered except that I think he was up to something more sinister then that. He was almost soulless, I swear Im worried some girl will take him up on it and end up dead.
The whole situation was odd, who gives out a business card to someone he wants to solicit for sex? And who says it to three different girls the same exact way like he was reading from a script? And who is so open about it in a location where prostitution does not occur? I swear Im sick to my stomach thinking about it.
He ended up leaving and my ride came. But first I went back inside and bought the girl something to eat and drink. I feel bad that was the only thing I could do but I only had 10 dollars in my account until pay day. And now 7 of it is gone for a phone card and some food. I told her if the guy comes back do *not* get into his car, no matter how desperate you get. Its not worth dying for.
I know it sounds melodramatic but trust me...you had to have spoken to him and looked into his eyes when he was speaking. Gah.
