Remember, any suspected incidences of price gouging should be reported to the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at (404) 651-8600 or (800) 869-1123.

Also, I got kicked out of a Kroger gas station today, lol. They have arrows directing people to enter the gas pumps one way. This sounds like a great idea, but 90% (according to my random sampling of 10 cars) have the filler on the driver's side, so 1/2 the pumps were empty and half had a 5-6 car line. So, while everyone else were being good little sheep, I went the wrong way into an empty pump. Apparently this Kroger has (unarmed - whats the point?) rent-a-cops and one came to yell at me. The convo went something like this:

Fatass: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: I reckon I'm getting some of this overpriced gas.
Fatass: Well, you can't do that, you came in the wrong way.
Me: Oops, sorry.
Fatass: What?
Me: Sorry.
Fatass: SORRY FOR WHAT?
Me: Sorry I pulled in the wrong way.
Fatass: Well, you can't do that, you have to pull out and wait in line.
Me: Thats ok, I already put in my credit card, I'm only getting a few gallons (As I try to reach for the pump and he blocks me with his huge belly).
Fatass:You are going to cause a traffic jam, someone is going to pull in the correct way and you can't get out.
Me: Last time I checked, my reverse works just fine and I can back out.
Fatass: Well, you just can't do it, you have to move kid.
Me: Thats  ridiculous, just let me pump my gas.
Fatass: Sir, please leave, you will cause a scene.
Me: (As I reach to get my credit card out of the machine and leave) MOVE
Fatass: I alreay told you that you won't be pumping gas here.
Me: I'm trying to get my card because, if you can remember 5 seconds ago, you told me to leave.
Fatass: You were trying to reach the pump.
Me: Really, move so I can get my dam card and leave. If you don't move I will call a REAL cop with a REAL  badge and a REAL  gun and press charges against you for stealing my card, now get out of my way.
Fatass: Here, now leave, NOW.
Me: (As I am getting into my car, in a sarcastic tone) Yes sir, sorry sir, I promise I will never question your almightly gas-governing authority again. By the way, whats minimum wage at these days? Is it still like $5.15 or whatever it was at?
Fatass: (Pointing to the street): LEAVE NOW.

He stood there and stared me down just long enough for me to give him the one finger salute as I backed out and left.

Yeah, I didn't have to be such a huge dick about it, but people with fake, self-imposed authority have always really gotten under my skin and I was already pissed about the retards driving up gas prices and he decided to get in my way, so he got to see pissed off Jimmy.
You like the F bomb huh? ;)

Go big or go home right?  ;D I am trying to tone it down a bit, apparently some people get offended by it  :o lol, mostly girls......

I was kinda pissed off though, I feel bad for taking my thoughts about the price gouging out on him. Granted, he could have had more tact (mostly with the I-am-the-law attitude and tone of voice), but I'm not making excuses....I was being a huge a-hole.

yeah well you guys can fill up... on post here they have limited us to 10gallons of gas. so 10 gallons cost me almost 50 bucks. Glen see if you can smuggle a gas tanker back.. you could charge 2.50 a gallon and then I could get my rubi.. hahah me so funny.. you number 1 GI.. so yeah gas prices suck big time...

Oh btw i would have told that FatF&*(er to go eat a donut.

SO tonight I did what has become the normal loop... I head into vinnings to the first QT (small, like 12 pumps) no gas, keep on to the BP, limited supply and lines on the street both ways. So hang a left on Cobb parkway and take a left again, Exxon on the corner, out of gas. Head on up to the big QT station, out of gas. Keep on going, Bingo Shell has gas... no unleaded though, mid grade at $4.29

So why is it Cobb County is low on gas when other counties are fine?
