Little Rant
Well, I guess it is a bit of my easy going nature, but on the Yahoo news post they had a small article about how people paying for gas are taking it out on the station clerks. Reading the article one of the station owners said that it was about 1 % of the customers that got mad at the clerks.
This article cheezed me off a bit, I mean through all these soring prices it is not like these clerks are getting a raise everytime the price skyrockets!! I mean shouldn't these people have more common sense to where their dollar is going?? Up here in Calgary, they have a little sticker on the pump, which explains where your dollar goes, here it is taxes (as usual). I must say that moving closer to Roanna's job has helped, since it shaves off filling up the car by a few more days.
Hopefully people can come to thier senses and not take out thier frustrations on a gas station clerk, who honestly is probaly make as much or less than you. Any hoo, take it out on the big companies. Next year we will probably read how BigGasCo ONLY made a profit of 1.2 billion last year due to high oil prices!! GIVE ME A BREAK!
Anyhoo, just a bit of a beef of the chest now!!

Beefy chest huh Box? People don't mind paying over five bucks for a cup of coffee but freak when gas gets close to three bucks a gallon. Just goes to show how evil Starbucks really is.

Well believe it or not, I saw the clip on TV about this. One of the things they mentioned was that there was an increase in "fill up and drive aways" Somehow some guy got away with a $570 buck bill!! He musta been filling up a wack load of five gallon cans. As for the coffee, I just drink black, I tend to stay away from those frapa-cappa-crappa-grandee-venti-foamless-full froth things that cost an arm and a leg....
