Lost a good spot.
I'm just annoyed and venting. There's a half decent travel stop about 15 minutes from work. I've gone there the last 3 days, a couple hours before my shift. Always a handful of cars in the far end of the parking lot with window covers and obvious signs of people sleeping in their cars. Free wifi, security on site, good spot to just chill.
Came in tonight, bought a sandwich and a new charger cable since mine stopped working. Asked the cashier if I could eat in the trucker lounge, she said sure. A few truckers there, charging devices and watching shows and one with a whole grill set up cooking tacos. I ate my sandwich while charging my phone, then sat around another 20 minutes chatting to a guy before leaving.
Security stopped me at the door and asked if my car was the one sitting at the gas pumps. I said no, I was parked down at the end. He then told me I can't park here anymore and to leave. I tried to say I bought food and got permission but he didn't want to hear it.
I don't stay long, don't make noise or leave trash, spent money, parked out of the way. I'm clean, don't smell, didn't ask for money, not drunk or on drugs. But some jerk in a security vest decided I was a problem. And since I don't know his schedule I can't risk coming back for a while. Which sucks since it is so near my work it's my little pitstop to eat and pee before I gotta go in.
