Last night Mrs. B sent me out for pizza. I noticed all the gas stations had jumped their price for unleaded from $2.22 to $2.49. So I went on the "straggler station hunt." You know, that one station who's employees are lazy and don't change the price till a few hours behind every one else? I have one such station close to my house, but it's the loser burnout creepy gas station. The credit card reader on the pump has been vandalized so you have to go inside to pay. When I went in, I was the only one wearing a mask. Clerk had her mask under her chin. The guy in line ahead of me was in pajama pants, arguing about how the vape thing he bought there the day before "Damn neer set mah trailer on fiah...." He wanted to bitch at Hadji, the owner. "Hadji won't be in till tomorrow sometime. He sets his own hours." Finally got to the front and bought $20 to top off my tank. This morning they were at $2.49 just like everybody else. But I saved $2. It's the principle of the thing...
