    We have to BUY FREAKING AIR NOW.  Don't ignore.  And?  When you do go to buy it?  The pumps are vandalized.  How bored are vandals these days?



    Look out kid
    They keep it all hid
    Better jump down a manhole
    Light yourself a candle
    Don't wear sandals
    Try to avoid the scandals
    Don't wanna be a bum
    You better chew gum
    The pump don't work
    'Cause the vandals took the handles.

    Air?  At a gas station???  I haven't seen that around here since the late 0's.  You're lucky if you find a squeegee anymore.

    Air pumps are free at Kroger.

    We don't have Kroger anywhere.

    I'm sure there are still some free ones, but not at any convenient gas stations.

    Kroger owns Fred Meyer ... and those air pumps take credit/debit cards.

    Allegedly, the sign will change to Kroger when the local Fred Meyer finishes the latest remodel.
    We'll see if that's true, if the air will become free.

    Never because I either pull in to a full serve station or in the unlikely event I have to pump my own, I use a credit card.

    Full service is more money.  Screw that idea.

    Depends on the area.
    From where I've gone ... if there was both, the price was the same.  Otherwise nobody would go to full-service stations.
    Of course, they make most of their money from the mini-mart store anyway.

    I went in the store, asked for 20 dollars on pump 11 and pulled away.

    I realized it when I was halfway to work.  Too late.

    Never.  I only buy gas at a gas station (the price of the stuff inside is over-inflated).  And at well over $50 per fill up, I sure ain't gonna fork over a Benjamin and then just  leave.

    I sure wouldn't fork over a $20 but I did because I am a spacey thing.

    Never.  I did however drive away with the pump still in my vehicle.  Yes, there was damage but the owner let me slide.  This was many, many years ago but I appeciated his kindness.
