Is Air Ball a Kansas thing..I heard that for the first time last week

I agree with you except for the air part. It's pretty rare to find a gas station with free air these days. Most have gone with the little coin operated ones.

Yup. Why give something away when you can charge for it?

That being said, one of the reasons I frequent our local Kum n Gos is because they offer free air.

It's Air Bubble where it matters (here, mother****er).

For awhile most of them that I stopped at the quarters went to charity. Annnnd they didn't work. And I'm not on any toll roads, so I have quarters on my person or in the car just this side of never.

Maybe it's just a California thing, but over here at least, it's required by law for gas stations to offer free air and water. Granted, they still have coin slots so you can pay, but you don't HAVE to pay. Just tell the cashier to turn the machine on for you.

I look for places that might offer free wifi, free breakfast, free drinks and such.
Seriously? Isn't HBO and cable pretty much a staple at all hotels anymore? Maybe advertise free porn or how about Netflix or Hulu? Actually, **** your TV. Where's the free dinner vouchers or something?
It's kind of stupid, IMO. This is just a bit obscure and outdated nowadays. I could understand it in the 1980's when HBO was a big ****ing deal. Now it pretty much comes with any cable/satellite plan.

I've seen other outdated "deals" like that as well.

The gas station that still offers free air, the buffet restaurant that let's kids under four eat free... Shit like that just doesn't make sense anymore to me. Maybe it's to bring in the older crowds?
**** it, I'm gonna go watch me some free HBO at the motel 6.

Free air is a good deal since most places charge for it now. Also some little Podunk motel people might wonder if they have cable for watever reason.

Is there any place that doesn't have refills on pop for free? Sometimes I see that one.

Places that charge extra for a side of ranch dressing. On place in Pittsburgh KS we ate at charged $.75 for a tiny cup LMAO

Ask Buehler about the hotel on the north side of town.....LMAO

Free air is a rarity around here. I'd love to see more signs pimping it.
