Knock It Off

Like most people, I have to pay pretty close attention to gas prices these days. Things are a little out of hand, but I still have to drive to work and take care of other things.

I have just accepted that the oil companies will gouge us.  That’s just life. But I can’t stand how the gas stations try to take a little extra off the top.

What I’m talking about is charging different prices for cash or credit. That’s just some bullshit.

Listen, I know that they have to pay a fee on credit card transactions, but nickel and diming people when gas is at four bucks a gallon is pretty absurd. You don’t just sell gas. Mark up the hot dogs or the coffee or something, but don’t pull this crap on people desperately searching for a good price on their daily commute.

Credit card fees are part of your business. Suck it up, like we’re sucking up $50 per fill up.
