they weigh the price of gas going from $4 to $2 as a much
larger percentage ...

pop and snacks etc they don't probably don't even factor in since it's not a necessity.

that's why you just take that stuff

pepsi, nabisco, walmart, ect can handle a few losses here and there

who is gonna say anything the clerk? tell them to shut the fuck up before you hop the counter and make them have a very very bad day.

loss prevention? wait till they place their hand on you and then it's fun time with the wannabe cop. make sure you kick them a few times when they are down also. it reinforces the point you just made and it will stick with him his entire 10.00 an hour life.

if they are dumb enough to dial 911 and they wanna push the issue...so what?... you will be 3 miles away before the first patrol car arrives.


or you can just pay whatever price they decided to set


the world is great like that...you can do whatever you want to do :)


you just gotta be willing to put the fires out when they start

if the price is too high at the gas station, why not buy the sody-pop at the supermarket? or does it cost too much there too!!!

Why does a 20 oz soda cost nearly $2 at the gas station or Wal-Mart?

It's a tax on STUPIDITY

If you are dumbass enough to drink that shit, then you are dumb enough to get ripped off, so manufacturers and stores oblige.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Cos fatties , dying for their fix, will gladly cough that much up for one. You could put them up to five bucks and they'd still sell. More on a hot day.

Because they can.

The gas station across from my sister's house sells 20oz sodas for $1.25


The guy said they make 50 cents profit on each one.


The Walmart down the road charges $1.88 for the same thing.

So Walmart makes $1.13 profit. Possibly more. Scam artists.

And like you NEED to buy 6 bottles every day.

Opt out, it's your habit. Move on from junk chemical soda. There are so many better products out now. Kumbuncha tea,sweet leaf tea,coconut water. Voting with dollars drives price.

its called inflation and some fat capitalist out there that needs another dollar
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71895760


norespect

Only the gov't can cause inflation.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45422130


Yeah but $1.89 (+ .11 tax) for a bottle of poison water is not inflation.

It's price gouging. Know the difference.

You do realize it's to get you to buy at a higher volume.. Gas stations get away with 20oz sales because of the customer type, usually on the go, and need that quick fix. They know in grocery stores people will be more likely to go for 2 litres and 12-24pks because of the deals they give you if you buy "more"--always require you to buy in multiples. Just a way for them to make money while pushing more, and more poison. Which feeds the fucked up medical system + it's an easy way to kill people--and they make more money of course.

What do you drink Carrot juice lmao.....actually yes...mixed with orange and a stick of celery....in fact juicing is really awesome...the flavors you get mixing different fruits or veggies is surprisingly refreshing that's why juicing stores across America are booming...smart people don't want to drink poison or baby parts...the only baby in my juice is baby carrots..
