This is why we need a living wage

So, you will pay 3 or 4 cents more/liter of gasoline because the guy inside smiled at you. OK if attention is that important to you, I guess you can shop where ever you want.
I have a pretty bar maid with really big hooters, but I don't charge more for a beer when she's on duty.

It's cheaper than $500 for an evening with a Gigolo...

Maybe Noomi has limited options...

I never said we had people who actually pump the gas for you. We have people behind the counter that take your money for your petrol - but a lot of people would almost certainly pay extra for someone to pump the gas. I remember those days, and miss them.

You can walk inside to pay if you really want to. Sometimes it's nice if you want to pick up an overpriced snack. I prefer to get out of there much quicker than that though.

Yes and if it was my store, I would have refused the new pump technology on people with your kind of attitudes for sure. You sound as a cheapscape who will use a facility at it's bear minimum, just so you can ride away feeling as if you took advantage of the technology, yet you will never step inside to do business with the store in which is providing you the technology and the convienence it offers you. WOW!


Hmmm, A side note to the site - These adds at the bottom of the page are interupting badly the experience here now, and in fact they are causing the computers to run slow and even lock up. Might want to look into it.

Wow you may be a complete idiot to your bar maid then, because she is probably knocking down the tips, but here you are refusing to make your money on the added attraction that she is bringing to the experience found in it all? Wow !

5 cents more on a beer for a beautiful female who makes the customers feel right at home, and in which they wouldn't even bat an eye lid at for the extra cents being charged, but you say NO or won't even try it ? Lets say then that (she gets two cents of it and you get three), and she brings great bartending services while they are coming to your business to relax and have good conversation to boot, so whats wrong with that ? No wonder no one can get a raise these days with thinking like you have... Sheesh !

You sure your a business man ?

There is the value of the dollar, and then there is the competition on where you will spend that dollar at, then there are the services and great things offered at different companies if you spend that dollar in one place or the other wit them, but what has happened is that the top unionized together in thought of how to get your dollar for the least amount of services (you pump your gas, because we don't do that anymore) and did away as much as possible with the quality of their services along with the quality of their products while convincing us that we must use more and more of our dollars to get the same services and products that we had gotten from them years before. Technology is supposed to make us more richer and not more poorer, but we see the latter instead of the former as being the case.

Then you have their defenders who will defend being ripped off by them like the fools in which they have sadly become. This is why common working class Americans get no respect anymore, because we look like complete fools to those who are out to do us in and do us wrong. Then we are letting them get away with it to boot. Who has destroyed the value of the dollar over time and why ? We are still considered the richest nation in the world, but our dollar won't hardly by a loaf of bread anymore these days ?

If you ran a gas station with pumps that didnt have credit card capability you'd be out of business in a month.

And you know why that is ? It's not because the citizens would put you out of business, but you would be forced out by your competitors who would use the good ole boy system to crush you because you are breaking the union in which they have created. You see they get together and only allow certain services and things at certain prices, but here a rogue owner is trying to do more, and to give someone more bang for their buck until he or she becomes an ameba to the good ole boy club, and then a target to be run out of business somehow or the other....... The citizens should be ashamed that they have allowed this to happen to them over time.

 

[beagle9]

Why would people not want better for their money, and their money to do great things for them when they use it ? It can't be just a one sided deal like it had become over time.

Funny thing, you talk about taking advantage, yet I notice you're not a contributing member here....

 

[beagle9]

Funny, I thought the site should be paying me instead of me paying them..

You mean you ain't been getting your money's worth ?

 

[beagle9]

You wouldn't have a choice here. There are NO gas stations in my area that actually have an attendant pump gas. You either pump it yourself or go without fuel. And why should I care if I am not being serviced at the gas station? If it cuts my cost in fuel, I'm all for pumping the gas myself. It can also be much faster if I do it myself rather than having to wait for an attendant to get to me when the station is busy. I also load my own groceries into the car even though my grocery store offers the service for free.

Your fallacy is that it's somehow cutting your cost, when really it's only saving those stations the added expenses of providing the luxury service that is usually offered to you as a bonus when doing business there, but because you do it yourself for them instead, I ask who is looking at who as the fool ? How do you like working for free, and still paying high prices ?

Are you trying to make pumping gas sound arduous. Really? And if you dont think prices wouldnt go up if they added another employee or two you're nuts. Whether you payed at the pump or at the slushy machine you'd be paying more.

Look in the early days the reason we had all the services and quality in products that we did have thrown at us, was because of the competition in small businesses who wanted our loyalty and devotion to them badly, and it just showed how far they could go in order to get your business, and to still make a decent living and profit to boot. That's all changed now, and it's more about how they can get out of us all the money they can, and for as less as they can give it back to us in services and quality these days, so don't patronize me because I ain't that easily fooled.

You mean those extra employees wouldn't volunteer their services for the privilege of pumping my gas? How 'bout BEAGLE's gas? Yours? No?
The silly, half-assed reasoning of the socialist POV constantly amuses me.

Nooooo...it's about convenience. I refuse to stop at a station I have to go inside to pay for gas. And if it's raining I dont get wet. It's really not an issue though,the only gas stations that don't have pay at the pump are ancient places out in the boonies. Those I dont mind going into because they usually have character or the people working there are characters.

Look,if you're to afraid or not smart enough to pump your own gas just say so.
I mean some chicks can be pretty dingy. (no offense to capable women out there)

This is how you finally read all the things that people are discussing here ? Are you really this dingy, that you have decided that this is all you have left in speak for the thread now ? It apears that all you have is foolish interpretations and/or insinuations that make you look a fool when speaking in this way.

Just sayin !

It's cool that you are saying to the idiot corps that you are going to just use them in the most minimal way possible, and this because they no longer offer character or pay for character to be a part of their establisment anymore... Good for you, as you may be helping others to realize that people & services do matter, and if that was recognized once again, then you just might be prompted to engage more and pay more into a system that pleases you instead of teases you out of your money.

So your saying that what the old timers had done, and for what they had created back in the day when the nation was at it's greatest and finest hours, were just socialist pieces of crap who didn't understand a thing about the value of a dollar, and how when we would spend a dollar that their companies would compete for that dollar in many ways in which lifted the nation up ? It was all just their imagination now or ours ? What's wrong with the committing of great services and quality of products, where as this should be as job one in America once again ? I think it would be great because it created a strong nation and a durable one in times gone by.

Sadly it's not so much today as so many corps had become rapist instead of good capitalist as they should have remained as such, but they sadly have let their greed get the best of them, and now the defenders of greed are hammering their selfish clients case for them. Just sayin..

If you're so fired up about meeting the workers why dont you stop at the refineries before you buy your gas and see how their day is going?
You're a first class nut job...seriously get help.

You can walk inside to pay if you really want to. Sometimes it's nice if you want to pick up an overpriced snack. I prefer to get out of there much quicker than that though.

Yes and if it was my store, I would have refused the new pump technology on people with your kind of attitudes for sure. You sound as a cheapscape who will use a facility at it's bear minimum, just so you can ride away feeling as if you took advantage of the technology, yet you will never step inside to do business with the store in which is providing you the technology and the convienence it offers you. WOW!


Hmmm, A side note to the site - These adds at the bottom of the page are interupting badly the experience here now, and in fact they are causing the computers to run slow and even lock up. Might want to look into it.

I'm a "cheapscape" for wanting to get home to my family faster rather than wasting time at the gas station?

Or is it that I'm a "cheapscape" for not wanting to spend my hard earned money on garbage food at a Quick Stop when I can get much healthier food cheaper at the grocery store.

No I am an old timer for whom I think if you new me, you might give me a little more respect than what you do.

I understand though, I mean that you are living in a world that has now been long since removed from the good old days for which we had known, and that probably you may never know and/or experience in your life other than maybe in the books you might read.

It's sad what this nation has become, and what it is bringing up in mentalities now.
