celly Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is at home enjoying fireworks, family, beer and of course bbq. Quote
Adultery Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Not me, I gotta work. Happy 4th everyone! Be nice to your gas station attendant today!!! No digging for change and holding up the line, no whining about the bathrooms, and absolutely no bitching about gas prices! Yay! Quote
Draco1962 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 About them gas prices...What many don't realize is that the majority of the price we spend per gallon is taxes (local, state, federal, etc). Stations make little profit per gallon and gasoline sales are really a "loss leader" anymore to get you into the store and grab a pack of Lucky's and a Slim Jim to go with that Coke and zazzleberry Slurpee!

mesk Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 The real kick in the a$$ is when they raise the prices to just under 4 buck\gallon THEN they lower it to 3.60-3.80 and everyone thinks they are getting a deal even though we really arent getting squat. Quote
Adultery Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Actually we only make about 18c/unit on those Luckys too. Gas and cigs are our top 2 loss leaders.The more you know! *insert rainbow here* Quote
