Default Awash in Profit, Exxon Fights for Pennies While Raising the Rent


Quote:
Rezazadeh says she cannot stay in business. Credit-card fees are eating her profit margins. Exxon, which owns the station land, last week handed Rezazadeh a new lease raising her rent about 30 percent over the next three years. She stuck a copy on the window of her station to show customers who are angry about soaring pump prices. Rezazadeh has told Exxon that she cannot make money with the rent that high. Her territory manager's reply, she said, was simple: When you go, leave us the keys.

Good for them, f-ck the people, the ***** head tourists all over Maine today with their little white hats on and Canoes on the roof, they drive three hundred miles to sleep in a tent for two days while the Exxon people are grilling their steaks beside their pools and swapping wives.

If all the American Morons had stayed home this weekend and not touched their cars for two days the Exxon bosses would all be having heart attacks.

GOOD LUCK EXXON THE MORE YOU F-CK THEM THE BETTER THEY LIKE IT

FILL ER UP WERE GOING CAMPING-------

Nah, one weekend won't affect them. They know they are fine for the next 7+ months while they have their "boys" in power....... The Texas Oil (Con) Man and the Wyoming Petrobot.

I gotta admit, that "Wyoming Petrobot" made me laugh. Is that a Shmessy original?

But seriously, do you suppose it's going to get a lot better once "The Prince" is in office and we start a new and glorious period of Camelot, where it only rains at night etc?

In other words gas will go back to $1.00 a gal again as soon as The Prince Barack Hussein Obama moves into the White House, God I hope your right.

BLESSED OBAMA

Screw that--if he's The Prince they better pass a law where they pay me 25 cents for every gallon I use.
Thirty five during peak driving months.
