The day I saw this thread go up, I had just seen Fox report it had gone up $.07 on average so I was a bit shocked. I went to the gas station later that day for chew, and the owner who I know well was there. Since Biden killed Keystone on day one, I have been filling my tank as soon as I am 3/4 full once I saw the price shoot up a dollar per gallon here a week later, so I asked him if he had gone up 7 cents that day? He laughed, and asked me if I had gone to other stations? He just owns two locations. He said "I'm just trying to keep up or below what the big chains are doing so people will come inside to buy other things. None of us make shit on gas, it's all inside the store." I was still on full so didn't need gas, Jiban told me he went up $.20/gallon in that day and that he was still lower than the big chains. I passed 2 on the way home.......it's crazy, but somehow I have 6 stations within 3-5 minutes of me and they all thrive.....anyhow, he wasn't lying. He was 3-5 cents lower than the big chains. I guess he's just eating it outside and counting on alcohol, tobacco, soda, energy drinks, and he has a chicken franchise in store to overcome any gas price losses. Must be working. He is Hindu and his daughter just got married here last month so he had to pay for that, and he told me they are going to Nepal next month to throw another one there for the extended family that is not here and/or couldn't travel. Their culture goes big on weddings....it's more like fucking festival. I bet the poor guy with here and flights there for everyone will have probably spent around 200K for his daughter's weddings. If that dude ever cheated on his daughter or left her I would not blame him in any way for killing him. LOL! I know he put her through her masters, and am pretty sure he bought their home in GA, which is where the husband as from, as well. All of that fucking money, and now the dude doesn't even get to see his daughter..........nor do I dammit....she is fucking smoking hot!
Now I'm mad at the groom I never met, Biden, and high gas prices!
FML...why did I click this thread?
