$4.08! (cash)

It's the end of the first week of June and a cool rain is falling over the gorgeous Pacific Northwest as Monsoon Season continues....
We're at $4.08 per gallon for Regular gas, a drop of 10 cents from yesterday and a pretty good deal in our neighborhood -- if people could get it into their thick heads. We're 2 to 16 cents cheaper than our two competitors at our intersection, but nobody seems to notice that -- they're too busy trying to zing us for being misleading about our posted gas prices....
But at least people have been nicer the past two nights than they were last Sunday night. Thank Ghod....
Around 11 p.m. tonight a guy came in, filled up his truck with $75 worth of gas, then complained when he was charged $4.16 per gallon -- because he used a credit card at the gas pump rather than paying me cash. He felt we were being deceptive and threatened to call our parent company/headquarters office to complain.
I gave him their 1-800 toll-free number and wished him luck. We'll see how that turns out....
By the way, the "discount" he didn't get for using a charge card totaled $1.44. If he wants to cause trouble over $1.44, more power to him. It's the principle of the thing, right...?
