[QUOTE="donna723, post: 39111, member: 1883"] All the stations here have been this way for a long time. It seems like the higher the price of gas goes, the more people drive off without paying for it! I don't blame the stations for doing it, but it can be very frustrating. I drive about 70 miles a day just going back and forth to work. Now, if need gas for the next day, I SHOULD put it in on my way home so I don't have to waste time doing it in the morning, but I don't. And I SHOULD fill it up instead of just $10-$15 at a time, but I don't do that either - that total takes my breath away! Dumb, huh! It's not like I'm going to use any more gas that way ... So there I am in the mornings trying to gauge which store will be quicker ... none of them are! I will always end up in line behind several people who obviously have all day to piddle around and no concept of what it means to have to get to work on time! There's little kids who can't decide what kind of candy bar they want and guys who want their sausage and biscuit "custom made", and old guys who just come in to socialize!

But she didn't understand any of the games and was asking the clerk, "How does this game work?" It was all I could do to keep from grabbing her and forcibly moving her out of the way! [/QUOTE]
