Snarky Gas Stations

Some gas stations seem to be charging you more if you’re paying with your credit card.  They do this because credit card companies charge the gas station for each credit card transaction, so these stations have to do something to get their money back.  So what do they do?  They advertise slightly lower gas prices than their competitors, but sneak in those credit charges for plastic users. 

So watch your receipts, people.

We all appear to be on a downward spiral of technological, beaureaucratic damnation.  I hope we can pull ourselves out of it.  The free-market, capitalistic, industrial drive of America is really getting out of hand, going from a celebration of profit into the exploitation of the masses by the rich few.

Damn.  We’re in a tight spot.
