I hardly ever go into where I buy gas. Just follow the instructions on the pump. I try to buy at Sam's where it's cheapest.

If I go inside, it's to buy a soft drink or coffee, or to go to the bathroom. Usually try to hit up a Circle K, a Quick Trip or Road Runner if I'm getting a drink. They all have Diet Dew. Believe it or not, those stores all have either a black or white American citizen here in God's Country.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I stepped foot in a gas station.

Trucking - at least 30% of cross country truck drivers now do not know how to speak English. Some shippers I go to have signs posted in 10+ languages of what the policies and procedures are for being on their property. Pathetic state of the industry and it's our governments fault.

Just about all of the gas stations and convenience stores in my hometown are owned and operated by white families

I think it’s honest to god been over 5 years since I’ve stepped foot in a gas station that didn’t have someone from Africa, India, or Bangladesh behind the counter.

Are you in a big metro area?

The stations I go to are all operated by Americans. And that is specifically why I give those places my business.

If I stop at one while elsewhere while traveling, and discover it being run by foreigners, I never stop there again. Their stores usually stink to high heaven anyway. Damned foreign invaders.

Who gives a shite who owns it? If they live here legally and they own it…I hate to break it to you, but that’s not foreign ownership. That’s a mom and pop shop. Would you rather them be sitting at home collecting checks from the gubment?

In all fairness, I think it exceptionally to find labor to work in a gas station/convenience store and unless you have family to work, it is kind of doomed to fail. American families don’t want to do that bullshite
