So, you know where I've been, huh?

Uhh, wrong.

No, because I don't want to bother waiting for the attendent-clod to notice
me, come over, scrap the pump against my paint, turn it on trickle, come back
ten minutes later, go back for the card imprinter, and come back.

In Dallas the gas was cheaper than I've seen it here, and I could drive up
to the pump, insert my card, pump at a reasonable rate, and leave.  No waiting
for clods.

>I think it would merely raise the price for full serve,

Why, and who cares?

>and there are times when you want full serve.

Never.
