I feel I should be compensated for Tuesdays, a pain and suffering of having to wait out in the hot sun for more than five hours or leave my stuff alone out in the hot sun for my food getting ruined. It should be * for the oculus a couple hundred dollars for my food that got ruined and the money back for the hotel those nights because that one night I shouldn’t have to pay for with the mold and the other night I never went because she told me it wasn’t paid paid for when I did pay for it.
