Yep, it’s why they’re poor.

$4 for gas and $20 on lotto tickets, chips and soda water.

The problem is they spend most of their money on this kind of stuff.

While scanning I read this as "idiot ticket" customers and now I am convinced we've been saying it wrong up until this revelation.

Because of tobacco, scratch offs and using two forms of payment.

They have them. People never use them. Sometimes I'll throw a 5 or 10 in and grab some quick picks or scratch offs.
I know many Racetracks and Exxons with them. They are rarely touched. Meanwhile you'll get behind people who buy 10 different types. They have a $50 scratch off ticket now. That's insane.

About as bad as getting behind some people at the drive through at the bank or drugstore. Over the years I have learned who not to get behind. 3-4 cars will go through the other lane before they finish their transaction.

This.

The two gas stations I get the vast majority of my gas from I did not go inside either in all of 2021.

~600 miles per tank, 60k miles driven so probably at least 80 instances last year and zero times did I go inside.

Because they don’t give a frick. No consideration for anyone else. Same reason fat asses clog the walmart aisles bullshitting around like they want to make the day there while everyone else just wants to get the frick out.

They waste time buying smokes and scratchers, but my biggest pet peeve is how long it takes them to collect their shite and frick off.


I could pack a UHaul moving half-away across the country faster than they can put their money away and collect their items from the counter.

Yeah one item in one pocket at a time standing there rambling to the cashier instead of grabbing their shite and pocketing as they walk

What’s worse is they all use the gas pumps for parking spots so you pull up to get gas and they’re all taken but no one is pumping gas.


It's an embarrassment but this always happens.

No, they have those too. That's not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people who have no idea how to drive and no sense of urgency whatsoever. Plenty of those on the road in Louisiana.

Don't believe me? Drive I-10 across the southeast from Florida to Louisiana, and get back to me how your drive is once you hit the state line.

They get one thing. Check out. And if they have money left over they get something else. And it just continues until they are out of money. Black and milds, zig zags, fifth of wild Turkey etc
