I thought of you today when I went to Kroger to get gas.

It was the middle of the afternoon, went to the Post Office, used my debit card at the kiosk so that I wouldn't have to stand in that ridiculous line, then over to Kroger for the discounted gas.

What the f&*#? a car at every pump! That's OK I can wait, but then everyone I pull up behind gets out of their car and goes to stand in line at the the window to pay! Who doesn't use a debit card at a busy gas station?

One guy fills up, goes to the window then comes back to fill up a 5 gallon container!

Finally I just picked a spot - behind an SUV with blacked out windows - nothing is happening, I figure the driver must be in line to pay and will be right back. It feels like forever then finally the door opens and someone talking on a cel phone gets out and starts walking to the window!

Of course, I roll down my window and holler "Are you getting gas or what?" She looks at her friend, "Is she talking to me?"

OK now I think I am going to get my ass whipped, so I start looking for another pump, I find one, use my Kroger card, my debit card, fill up and as I am leaving I see that the SUV is still there at the pump!

OK maybe I am the asshole - I have my business name and phone number across my rear window and my 3 year old daughter in the back.

I didn't burn rubber or shout or anything, but I did turn it into a life lesson for my daughter about how NOT to act at the gas station.

Leon - I can live with that.

Just... - I paid $3.419 for a gallon of the middle grade of gas after the 10 cent discount. Yes, on using the Kroger Plus card. I think you save 3 cents a gallon with the Kroger Plus card even if you haven't met the $100 purchase incentive. I think.

I knew Sam's sold it, but I've never seen a pump at a grocery store, though. And how much IS gas there these days? I haven't bought gas in two months, so I'm not sure what it is here currently. In February, it was 60 BPS (or about $120) for a tank of gas. Ouch. Of course, everyone waits patiently in line here. No honking, no gesturing, no burning rubber. Say, do you get to use your Kroger Plus Card at the pump?!

Rebecca - I really shouldn't try to go right after work.

Just... - Yes, they sell gas at Kroger! They sell gas at both Krogers here in Beaumont, at Sam's and at HEB. PLUS, if you buy $100 worth of stuff in the previous month, you save 10 cents a gallon...hence the lines. It's the least expensive gas in town even before the discount. (I used to have a little widget on my sidebar which showed the cheapest gas in town, but it quit working.)

"ignoramus butt-munch spit bucket"

Hahahahaha! You kill me. IG-NORE-A-MUS is such a good word.

And... they sell gas at your Kroger?!

How awful! I hate gas stations.
