It’s a mess! Avoid or take a detour. I work across the street and between the revving of the engines, the honking, and blocking of the road…spend the money you’ll save and take yourself out to lunch somewhere local ;-)
Not complaining at all…just a heads up to the traffic. Locals supporting locals one way or another :-) Big turn out!
You know, for the things to complain about I’m not going to for new owners giving back to our community for 99 cent gas. This is great!
You mean thanks to KZOK for their clever promotion, I am sure that they made up the difference in price.
They did not – they promoted the event for the store owners – but the new store owners ate 100% of the cost pricing so low (tens of thousands) as they wanted to give back to the community during a time of high energy prices. I was there and met them, it was really cool.
It’s great to see those new owners really take a proactive approach to protecting their store from the string of robberies that plagued the former owners. I hope the people waiting to save $3.50 a gallon on gas don’t burn 3 gallons waiting in line.
Don’t worry, the kids mining the cobalt for your EV will be paid less than $0.99 😉
This is such a weird ‘gotcha’ because all it reveals the person posting it has never googled ‘oil industry human rights'(also, newer battery chemistries are using less cobalt, some like Tesla’s LFP batteries use none at all)
And if you have a Tesla then you’re just mooching off the rest of the taxpayers who are subsidizing your car. We could go on and on with the ways most of us are not being entirely equitable/ethical toward others and the planet. As for 99c gas, hope they thought to hire police to direct traffic. I hate gimmicks like that. They’re lucky there wasn’t a road rage shooting!
Blocking a traffic lane is illegal. Not enforced in any situation ofcourse.
It amazes me how many complain no matter what. A store resides to give out gas for cheap and all the groaning and bitching follows suit. What a shame.
I passed by there and my initial thought was a problem with a sign. Then I noticed the backups. not too bad probably 5-6 cars per pump. Didnt slow me down too much.
Should have been $1.025 since it was KZOK. Someone in marketing messed up!
Sorry, comment time is over.
