hockeysta18 Sophomore Author Boston Posts:209 Points:63,075 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: May 30, 2012 11:54:50 AM Ignore hockeysta18 Report Abuse generally when i get gas i dont go much further than the pump. most stations in my town are full serve with no quick stop store, and i generally pay cash at those places. the self serve stations all have a quick stop store, but 90% of the time i'm using my card to fill up so i dont go inside. there are the off days that i pay cash at a self serve and grab a gatorade and a resees, and usually a scratch ticket if i can spare a $1.

TxJeans Champion Author Tampa Posts:3,517 Points:366,280 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: May 28, 2012 7:32:21 AM Ignore TxJeans Report Abuse Usually nothing. I have run up to the corner station (not buying gas) for an expensive something or other when we were ready to sit down to dinner and realized we were missing something - maybe once every 5 years or so? However, up north we patronized a little grocery/butcher shop with gas pumps. We only bought gas for the small motors up there.

seabrz7 Champion Author California Posts:1,400 Points:224,810 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: May 28, 2012 6:49:23 AM Ignore seabrz7 Report Abuse Nothing here either, with the exception if I'm at Costco and had a planned purchase or to pick up meds. In case anyone doesn't know and doesn't have Rx insurance, you don't have to be a member to use their Pharmacies. They were cheaper than any other pharm in town. I digress off the topic. I agree that at most stop and go shops, things are just too high.... so only gas.
