(Picture was taken last September and unrelated to subject.)
Monday night = fill up night. My favorite gas station does have the lowest price. Yay~

However, the female beggar was there again. Luckily there was only one other car and I got a pump right in front of the 7-11. Bright and visible from inside the shop. Didn't think she would be so bold, but yes, she came to harass me. This time, her story was that her friend just died and she was super upset and not sure what to do. Couldn't hear her too well because she was mumbling, but I could make out words like cell phone and police. What did she want to do with my cell phone? Nevertheless, I said, I can call the police if you want. She then said no, she didn't want to call now. (Huh???) I said, I remember you, I've seen you here 3 times already. She said, yeah, I work for the police on missing women cases. (And then something about her sister.) She then asked me for a toonie for a phone call.

A toonie!!! (Huh? Phone call???)

OMG, she upgraded again!
1st time, empty bottles and cans.
2nd time, loose change for a hamburger.
3rd time, $2!

Loose change is no longer enough? She's gotta be a junkie.

I said, you work for the police and they don't even pay you? She said, yes they owe me money. I said, I find that hard to believe. She said, me too. Then she lowered her gaze and walked away.

3 times. 3 different stories. Well, OK she didn't tell any stories the first time. But the other two? Bull sh*t!

My speculation is, the police might have asked her to give info on missing women case(s) at some point, but that's not "working" for them.
