This thread has taken more turns than a can of worms.

Back to the gas pump please.

That is something that all of us do from time-to-time. Lots of fuel islands have overhead gizmos that kinda/sorta look like they might be cameras. If operational, they are mounted high up and capture an image at an acute angle.

I'd imagine camera boxes are there as a possible deterent to drive-offs, not to protect customers. Kinda doubtful also that they capture images and play them back in High Definition.

Just a suggestion, but maybe the folks whose trade is instructing applicants in CHL might consider fueling and public restrooms.

We all do it and it is a vulnerable position to be in.

Withdraw the hose from the tank, turn and casually face the panhandler, for true eye to eye contact, and 'Go Away' has worked for me.

Panhandlers are a fact of life.

The guys and who use a bride and child as motivation for you to stick your hand into a pocket or wallet kinda strums your strings of humanity.

Walking out of ElFenix, I was approached by a gent who clained to have a hungry woman and kid. He asked for help. He seemed dissapointed when I handed him our 'To Go' take out order.
