....in the unlikely event the masked woman is apprehended, I would be sure we have the usual excuses...too many kids..sob sob....boyfriend beat and left me ...sob sob...can't get a job...sob sob...need (need?) drugs ( and cigarettes..?)......sob sob...ya know the usual stuff. All to common, and then you have the Foodmarket owners thinking..'what the hell happened there'.. we are just offering a service for which we expect (rightfully) to get paid for...surely you must think..' why do we offer this service'?..
