After paying $3.53 per gallon, is it too much to ask
when I go into the mini mart to get something to drink that:

(A) The plastic lids for the fountain sodas be located in an obvious location.

(B) The garbage container/slot be located in an obvious location (to dump the straw wrapper).

(C) The price of the fountain soda not always total an amount that assures I get 4 pennies back.


And by the way, why the F does it cost so much to run the car through the car wash?

It used to be you could get a free basic wash with X-number of gallons of gas.

What? We get water and soap from OPEC now?

At the most, $2-3 is acceptable. Anything more for a basic wash is highway damn robbery.

Argghhhhhhhhh. I hate gas stations.
