In order to enjoy uninterrupted sleep when parked at an unpatrolled truck-stop, it is necessary to place a 'No Lot-Lizards' sign in your window, or, if you're a company driver like me, on a piece of cardboard which you then place in the drivers side window. Additionally, it is necessary to place a 'bribe', which usually takes the form of loose cigarettes, on your drivers side running boards.
Otherwise 'Lot-Lizards', aka. (usually) meth addicted truck-stop prostitutes, will tap on your window all night long, first offering you "commercial company", then begging for drugs, then begging for money, then asking if they can sleep in your truck, then begging for cigarettes, then begging for food, and finally asking if they can use your cell phone. Of course, they wake you up each time they knock on your window, ruining your ability to sleep.
Since I enjoy sleeping, and have no interest in contracting any of the multitude of diseases these women carry, I always put up the sign and put out a bribe as soon as I notice that there are women working a lot.
On 10/31, Halloween, I pulled into the 'overflow lot' behind a Road-Ranger/Pilot and saw that there were at-least two girls working the lot.
So, as usual I put up my window sign but, instead of putting out cigarettes, I grabbed one of the paper 'boats', intended for nachos or hotdogs, from inside the store and filled it with fun-sized candy...while doing this, I got the "bright" idea to put equal amounts of each type of candy, so that I could see which type the 'working-girls' preferred, if there was any left.
The results; Out of the original 10 pieces of each type of candy here's what remained;
Skittles; 0 Snickers; 0 M&M's; 0 Butterfingers; 7
Apparently, working-girls don't like Butterfingers, I wonder why???
So you insult prostitutes implying that they all carry multiple diseases and then expect them to vote in some inane poll you created? While I have never been an escort and have zero desire to ever do that type of work (no amount of money would ever get me to have straight sex, sorry guys) many women who do choose to escort are intelligent and practice safer sex. A woman I went to college with choose sex work after teaching for awhile. The money she could make as an escort far outweighs what a teacher makes and since she screens all her clients they show her more respect than the bratty kids she used to teach.
Also the term "working girls" is an outdated sexist term from when women weren't allowed in the workforce and their only real income they could make was from prostitution. Now women are allowed to have jobs so you may want to modernize your vocabulary and attitude towards women.

First of all, I found my observation to be humorous and shared it, along with deliberately 'colorful' terms in order to put a smile on people's faces...
While I'm sure that there are MANY "sex work(ers)" (to use the term YOU use latter) that are intelligent, personable, well-rounded people who maintain good hygienic practices, I WAS NOT making reference to them but to "truck-stop 'commercial company'", aka. "Lot Lizards"...
'Commercial Company' shares about as much in common with a high-end escort as I, a commercial-driver, do with the bike messengers that weave in and out of traffic...
Due to the nature of the work in their niche-market (truck-stops), I can all but GUARANTEE that nearly all 'lot-lizards' and 'buffalo' (male hookers) are breeding grounds for disease. If you doubt me, I invite you to lay with one of them w/o protection (but really, don't...that's basically suicide)...
Furthermore, without the sign and the bribe, these people will awaken truckers through the night, ensuring that they'll be driving tired the next day, endangering both themselves and the rest of the motoring public...
I can further guarantee that if you had a group of people knocking on your window/door throughout the night, waking you up every hour, you wouldn't hold them in high regards either....
