In this community (where the newspaper reports the police blotter, including gas station drive-offs) the cost of adding just one extra employee would far exceed the loss from drive-offs. Very few of the stations here have more than one employee on duty at any time. They would need to have someone extra available if they had to offer full service gas. There is no extra cashier to lay off. DPH wrote: > Well, no, we don't trust you on this - experience here is different. > > There may be some hidden savings you don't know about.
