The gas mart on Clinton Hwy across from my shop has had gas 10-20 cents cheaper than most of the gas stations for about the last month. This has lead to LONG lines up the road for gas.
Today the cops have shown up blocking off entrances to the gas station and directing traffic up and around the back of the station.
Police do not cross tape went up around the main entrances....
Now 3 cop cars and a motorcycle cop directing traffic at the gas station.
I have not been over to talk to the guys at the store but it looked as if they were having words with the cops about blocking off right of way to their store.
following discussion the owner just went out and dropped his gas prices another 2 cents per gallon (now at 2.09 for low and medium test gas and 2.29 for high test... I can only imagine it went something like this... "You are gonna block my customers from getting into my store, I'm gonna lower my gas price even more to make you bigger headaches"
LMAO
Can't say for sure thats the story, but from here across the street thats the way it has looked. Just wanted to share my "stick it to the man giggle for the day"
I'll have to run over in a bit and get the full dirt.
