“Gas prices are high again?!?”
A quibble over Ukraine “being a sovereign nation” aside…[because nations which rely on billions in yearly aid from other nations, and other nations funding/supplying their wars, are not honestly sovereign.]…
…Do remember what you’ve learned from this video, especially if you’re one of those uneducated weirdos who likes accusing the over worked, under paid person behind the counter, or even just the individual gas station itself, of personally being behind “the gouging of you”…
Gas stations in the U.S. follow a model far more like that of movie theaters in the U.S…
…They don’t make their personal profits, from what initially gets most people inside the store.
Profits from gas sales, to the immediate people selling it to the public, are very modest…Likely not even worthwhile, in their own right…You are forced to sell a lot of other things, in order to augment this business model.
So…next time anyone wants to make a snarky or nasty comment to the person behind the counter…a person who is making nothing additional during all of this…who is getting raped at the pumps just as bad as you…who is “gaining” nothing more than your nasty abuse…a person who’s likely spent days/weeks consoling, apologizing and empathizing with people, over these bullshit gas prices nobody can afford…Get A Fucking Clue…
Don’t be an asshole.
That business does not have to serve you…And the person behind the counter is not obliged to take your abuse.
