CRETE - A Year in Review

I saw some #### at the Petro in Raphine, VA yesterday. Guy in a Pete was having a hell of a time backing into this spot and trucks were backed up waiting to leave. One guy goes to go around him, the guy parking pulls up quick, cuts off the guy attempting to go around, then tosses his hand up in the air in pissed-off fashion. I had my radio turned down, so I don't know if it was something going-around-guy said, or if it was a gesture I couldn't see, but attempting-to-park-guy was backing in again when he stomped the brakes, jumped out and started BARRELING after going-around-guy (who had now gone around) on foot. This guy was running full bore and his face was approximately purple. He couldn't catch going-around-guy so he flipped him the bird then turned around and started back toward his truck.

Holy ####. I dunno if the guy had a bad day or what, but...holy ####. CALM DOWN, dude...

 

That's a normal day at the Flying J in Aurora Colorado....

 

Did you get better? Also, was your truck successfully fixed?

 

One way to avoid the $2.50 plus charge to get your money back is to go shopping. Walmart, as well as, other major retailers will give you "cash back" without a fee. On the road I like to pick up some fresh fruits or veggies and then get cash back too. Kind of a double win.

 

.....but don't forget to deduct any ATM fees from the road from your taxes.....I didn't do that for years. Not a huge deduction, but shucks.....

 

2.50? ####, that's cheap. 3.95 at most truck stops these days.

 

sitting in Ardmore, OK...two hours from home but 8 hours from appt. time and cons is just up the road.
Let me see if The Price is Right is on

 

Darn Flying J went to $6 for two slices of pizza now!

 

Not with your rewards card. Had 2 for lunch, still $5.

 

Just got ripped off then. I used my rewards card too. Receipt says $3.99/slice then -.99 with my card

HAHA I got the bright idea to call the number on the receipt. The mgr. says it's 2 for $7 and it's been that way since March 1st. The receipt says it's 2 for $6 and the customer service lady says it's 48 to 72 hours for her to respond with the information
