So I was walking from the gaslight to my truck that was parked 2 blocks north of the avenue and as i get to the yellow and blue po box building theres these guys sitting in there and they approach me trying to sell me meth.

Never did anything to rectify it, told me there was nothing that could be done. This is a red flag for human trafficking as it strands females at the bar. Also, if it was a genuine mistake, no one is safe to use their card here if they don't verify who they're giving the card back to. I will attempt to contact the owner and update my post afterwards.
