How Much Did He Get Payed

We wonder why “Diesel” is so high.

That is totally hilarious, even more so since we go to that station often. it is about 35 miles from our sticks and bricks. Minocqua is ranked in the top 5 highest priced fuel stops in the state of Wisconsin. This is called poetic justice... Dave and Betsy

I read about this online and there was a poll asking if you would have purchased gas there at this price. Heck yeah! You have to ask??? Sorry the employee made a mistake, but $3.00+/gallon is absurd. Of course, after living in the Alaska bush and paying over $5.00/gallon it all seems cheap to me!

Doesn't seem to me that the store manager is going to garner a lot of sympathy...

She's upset because she feels the drivers were "dishonest". OK, I can see it now... "Hello? Is this the station manager? Well, I just wanted to call in and make sure you knew your gas pumps were reading a ridiculously low price and there are lot of people buying gas. I am simply a concerned citizen doing the right thing - duplicating the fine example you and your oil company have been setting over these past two years."

This "concerned" citizen would, of course, would have been a recent escapee from a high security mental hospital, as no rational, sane person would ever make a call like that...

Unless something has changed over the years, gas stations only make a few cents on the gallon. It's an unfortunate situation that was taken advantage of. Wonder how many of the "customers" that were getting gas at $.33 a gal., called their relatives and friends and said "Get down here, quick!"

Would I have - you bet I would. In the end, she can write it off as a loss on her taxes.
