Ok so which one of you was it?
I had a funny experience last week. I went to my usual spot on Eastern avenue and as I'm walking up to it I see a guy go in. No big deal, I'll give him a few minutes then I'll go in. No one wants another dude up their ass when they are waiting for mama san to open the door. Small talk would have been awkward. So I wait five minutes and open the door. Well they must have been a little slow on the draw that day because he was still at the door. I back out, and as I'm turning away another guy comes charging in and goes right in past me. Time was clearly of the essence.
I've been going to AMPs for years now, at least seven or eight. I've been to pretty much all of them from here to DC and back, and I've never seen another customer. I had to laugh after that one,
It used to happen frequently

I once walked into a place pin NOVA where no less than 5 guys were sitting and waiting just like in a Doctor's office. Needless to say I didn't make six. LOL
Last-Second Abort at BS Yesterday
Based on my last experience at this location, I decided to make a return visit yesterday while I was passing through. I got here about 1:30 in the afternoon. When I was just about ready to park, I noticed that the gate just behind BS was open. Right inside the gate was a bucket truck with 3-4 guys working. Since it didn't look like they were leaving any time soon, I did a big U-turn in the gravel parking area and continued on my trip. I'm sure they were real utility guys doing real utility work, but the level of visibility was outside my comfort level. Bummer!
