They can charge that because it's located very conveniently for all the MILFs in the neighborhood who will pay another $0.40 for the convenience.

Interesting. You'd think that with an app like Gas Buddy, prices would fall because there are less expensive options less than a mile away. Either that or it's the convenience factor.

Call it a character flaw, but I have real difficulty paying a higher price for goods and services when I'm aware they're less expensive elsewhere. I've had this conversation with my 7 year old many times, when she's asked about purchasing items.

Daughter: Daddy, can we get this?

Me: No, it's not on sale and it's cheaper at Coscto/Target/Amazon than here.

Daughter: I feel like all you ever care about is price.

Me: Someday, you will, too.
