15. After I retired from regular job
Mon Jun 15, 2026, 03:06 PM

I got a job a few nights a week at a gas station. It was a major brand and I learned they didn’t make much on fuel. Their profit was from the junk they sell inside.
Never buy anything inside the station until the price comes way down and you’ll be sticking to them. I stop at discount for cash stations when ever I can. That cost them.
I’d rather help the small mom and pop stores for snacks and such.
