To answer the original questions... No, the cashiers and Subway workers are Not Lizards- they're just flirts that may or may not be single and may or may not find a person attractive enough to enjoy a good time after their shift ends. Do you approach them, or should you let them approach you- well, for personal safety reasons- it's never a good idea to let them approach you- as they may be attempting to rob you or spray you with pepper spray as you're getting in the rig so they can rob you- they shut the door, turn off the radio and get the cell away from you so you can't call for help- the door closes and your screams for help are muffled as they beat you and you can only hope that a driver is close by and hears the screams and breaks it up. They say you should not beat a woman, but if a woman is armed and attacking somebody- like a lizard- by all rights, hate to be this way... but beat the tar out of them- right out of the truck. Find out the facts later on. Get the weapon away from them is the 1st thing you need to do- knives, guns, sprays. Then attempt to restrain them. Check on the driver that was attacked. Somewhere in all this- be calling for help and medical attention. Should You call on them? That's a personal choice, I've had lizards come in when weather was not so nice- only to use the CB to advertise. When inviting a lizard into the cab- it's been for conversation, the curtains are open. Wallet has been hidden, as has any thing of want like a cell phone or laptop. I had a lizard come to the truck that was very pregnant. I had another one that came to the truck that looked like she hadn't seen soap, shampoo, or fresh/clean water in two or three days at least. Most of the time, they're very happy to just have a clean bottle of water or a snack and a light short conversation. They have interesting stories to tell, and their histories are very colorful. They'll tell you some haunting stories too... the kind of stories that are so sick and twisted that you know they're true- because some stuff you just can't make up with even the wildest imagination. If you're interested, on a busy Friday or Sat. night, in a somewhat large truck stop- turn on the CB to 19, and listen. You'll hear them calling or being advertised. Commercial Company is often an angle they'll use. Party Favors are often drugs- don't recommend you mess with them. And, I don't park on the back row unless it's daytime. Knives, and sprays are carried by many- so be forewarned. and Few are what you'd call "Clean" in many ways. Often times, they're strung out on drugs and/or have an addiction to some drug or alcohol.
Hopefully this answers your questions.

And by the way- they will knock on more than a semi door... they'll knock on a straight truck, and a private bus, as well as a passenger charter bus.
