Come on, Love's. Really????

If that small little bitty gas station raised their prices then they could afford to build a bigger parking lot for you.

 

The blue 4 inch at $1.49 is only a quarter more than fleetpride.

 

And fleetpride dont need to spend money hiring people to go round cleaning up the lot of all the crap left by drivers using it just to park either.

 

You lost my attention at Loves.. however..

The truck stop was not created to be your load securement supply shop. They’re in it for the most profit/per item/per customer.

Since we live in the age of supply and demand, they can charge whatever they want for that product/service and we will pay it. If you dont, great. The next guy will.

We will pay what they ask when we’re in a bind, because it is convenient and saves us from driving +-30 miles to save a few bucks.

 

Profit isn't generally made in fuel. That's almost always a break-even endeavor.

You gotta sell the #### inside the Mart.... The Race Car jackets. The Viking Helmets. The fake Swarovski glass...... The junk on the shelves.

 

Be glad the chain truckstops have it when you need it. You’re paying for expensive retail space. Highest price & lowest quality.

They’ve ALMOST driven everyone else out of business. When they do, expect 100% paid parking.

Pep Boys came to Dallas back in the early 1990s. The very large store nearest me was bringing in three truckloads of merchandise weekly. Big newspaper inserts. Radio, TV and billboard advertising. $5 Chevy water pumps and $15 starters. Etc.

Soon as they had driven three smaller chains and uncountable independents out of business, it was one truckload weekly and next to no bargains like before. Dialed everything back.

It’s all of it illegal. Doesn’t matter if laws aren’t enforced. Same as with healthcare. Monopoly that’s fully illegal.

Welcome to America, bubba. Profits are only for a tiny, tiny few. Crumbs for everyone else.

 

I've been driving five years and I don't even recognize those objects in the photos, much less need them.
Cute little things though.

 

Blame the drivers that are content to pay $35 for 6 bags of chips and two energy drinks...
