Shell fails to disclose gas prices at pump!
Motorists were elated when they spied a Shell station by the side of the highway en route to Las Vegas just east of Baker (California) when they noticed they were running on empty.
But, their joy turned to suspicion, when they were unable to check the price per gal out front.
Uh-huh!
Not one sign disclosing the price of fuel in sight.
Inside, one motorist was flabbergasted when the cashier quipped - without batting-an-eye - that regular gas was $3.99 per gallon.
Needless to say, the tourist's jaw dropped.
The woman - with all the personality of a worm - proceeded to go forward with the sale.
“Will that be $20.00? $40.00?"
Without skipping-a-beat, the disgruntled motorist smugly uttered up his response.
5 bucks!
A look of shock swept over her face.
Yeah, he'd rather limp his way to the next gas station, than to succumb to theiri highway robbery.
Obviously, the prices weren’t listed out front because the owners knew that if motorists were aware of the staggering cost per gallon, they would have driven on by Shell's rip-off outlet and left 'em in the dust.
I trust that the President will address the issue of proper disclosure, the outrageous crime of gouging consumers in sparsely-populated areas - and likewise - install a procedure for lodging complaints (with threat of statutory penalties) against dishonest disreputable gas jockeys plaguing the Nation with their greedy underhanded tactics.
Americans are tired of being victimized.
Amen!
