MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I have taken over this section from Will, in a hostile-type fasion! How do you like that Will?
Let me see.... what should my first post as new "Advenchur-er" be all about? I got it... Gas. Gas will be my topic, and my topic shall be gas.
Now that you all think I mean FARTS, I will shock and amaze you by really talking about the Fuel Industry, from a side you rarely hear from..... the GSA, or Guest Service Attendant at a SELF serve gas bar. Before I get into the thick of the matter, you must know a few things:
1. No, the GSA is NOT a feul transfer engineer. He (or she, for the politically correct) does not pump your gas, put air in your tires, or check your oil! The only time he (or she) does any of those things are if you are old and blind, with a cane to cap it off... in which case WHY ARE YOU DRIVING?? YOU'RE GONNA GET SOMEONE KILLED!
2. The GSA does NOT care about the weather. If it is hot outside, don't tell us... we will wish we were outside enjoying the 10 days of our Canadian summer... in September. If it is cold, we know because the 20 people ahead of you in line have already told us. Oh, and if it's "Really snowin' out there", we can see that through those huge transparent slabs of glass we in the Gas Business like to call 'windows'.
3. Hey, I asked you if you wanted a Petro Points card. I did not ask you to make up a bad lie to me when "no thanks" would have sufficed. By the time you make up your fantastic lie and tell me, you could have had the stupid card and been HOME!
4. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PRICE OF GAS WILL GO DOWN! I am not single handedly responsible for the taxes, freight cost, duty, or any other applicable factors in your gas price. My job is to say "Hi, will that be all? Have a nice day." and then go home. No more, no less.
Now that I have enlightened you about my job a little, I have really said all I wanted to say. Sheesh, this is harder than I thought. Maybe I should do a hostile take-over only once in a while.
Until next take-ovur,
Adam
