Not all customers suck(short and sweet)

[edible_hat]

SC: "I'm really pissed off about how you keep putting the price up! You should realise that my income doesn't go up just because you want yours to go up. Put the price down so I don't have to pay so much" etc. etc.

cool truck driver who spends at least $100 a day on diesel: "F*** off."

SC: [looks annoyed, then looks scared, then takes cool guy's advice]

[ShadedWings]

Haha, nice one. Definitely short and sweet, even with the reply.

I just don't get people that think that the price changes are pure profit for gas stations.. yeah, maybe a few of them run that way, but it's rare. People who decide to take it out on workers need to take a class in economics and suffer the boredom (even if it is good information!) I did in high school.

Does not this moron read the news ?

[Apathy]

Not only do they think these things, they think the guy manning the register is at fault.

[ArcticChicken]

It's not the gas stations fault. If the price raises were pure profit for the gas stations, somebody out there would be undercutting the market by 50 cents a gallon, and making it up in volume. The oil companies, on the other hand...

[jerkface11]

After you figure in the cost of the oil, refining, shipping, and taxes the oil companies make less than $.30 a gallon on gasoline. The government in fact makes more. And no ammount of ranting at the guy behind the register will change any of that.

[edible_hat]

wow, you mean there are retailers who actually do make money of fuel? Once you take into account thefts, we make a small loss. So we have lots of impulse buy items near the registers.

I hate people like this SC . Petrol here in NZ hit $2 a litre a few days ago and I haven't been at work since it happened yet.......I really don't want to work today .

My roommate passes a station on her way to work that hit $4.01 yesterday. Where I usually go is up to $3.97 this afternoon. And New Jersey tends to be slightly cheaper than the surrounding states.

I think I worked it out right, although conversion isn't my strong point.....I think we're paying about $5.77 a gallon in USD.

I paid $3.90 a gallon to fill the tank today before running errands...sure it was only half my tank but that's still about $25 of gas. But Thompson, CT (about 20 mins. from me) has passed the $4 mark.

Oregon average is about 4.05.
Glad I can walk to work.

[tropicsgoddess]

We just came to the $4 /gallon mark for gas in my area. The SC definitely needs to take a class in economics and government.

No I was talking about the actual oil companies not the retailers. I've never heard of a retailer that made more that 6 or 7 cents a gallon.
