    There are good and bad experiences. There is a 7-11 in Woodinville on 175th Street that I will never set foot in again. I asked for a receipt and the guy acted like he didn't hear me. I asked for it again, and he took the receipt, crumpled it in his hand, and tossed it at me. He glared at me with eyes that burned with the intensity of a thousand suns.

    I was like "Dude, really?"

    I learned from Europe that you always know how much something is first before showing your money unless the store is obviously legitimate. I can't stand the attitude that it's all a big mystery and trust us. One Seattle convenience store of the type I mention tried to charge $9.99 for an ordinary quart of oil. It had no price of course until I got to the main counter.
    I like to drive an oil-burner and not be prepared by buying a case at Costco or O’Reillys, then complain about the prices at a CONVENIENCE store.

    That’s what I like to do.

    I also like to learn things from Europe. That’s what I like to do.
    Isn’t it time for another Golve meltdown. It’s been like 6 months now.

    I’d settle for a Sven later guys though.
    Thanks for reading!

    Got charged over $9 for a tin of cope the other day.
    Snuff or long cut?
    The res is too poor for fancy pants long cut. Snuff or bust.
    and sure as hell wouldn't cost $9 unless you got the large sushi with it

    That's what I said but it was something about beer with it.

    Price shenanigans happen in many convenience stores, regardless of the race of the proprietor.

    The Rick's Chevron on NE 85th Street and 5th Ave NE in north Seattle is often missing prices on the shit in their store, and Rick is as white as they come. I stopped buying beer there even though it is only a 2 block walk.

    Tonight, I bought a 12 pack from Total Wine at Northgate, and the register charged me 50 cents more than the 15.99 marked on the shelf. I caught it when I examined the receipt after I had paid with my credit card. I made them refund the 50 cents to my card. They had to call a manager to the front to do it. I'm old, and I don't give a shit.
