Gas_Buddy Champion Author Maryland Posts:25,967 Points:3,033,090 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Feb 8, 2011 2:29:05 PM Ignore Gas_Buddy Report Abuse Does bob post any gas prices? I do notice that his message post count has bone up to 27? He probably does post gas prices but he doesn't have many points in the nine days he's been here to indicate that he does. Just wondering because I always prefer that posters to topics also post gas prices for the benefit of the other members; after all, if you're going to complain about prices, why not help the next guy know about prices.

Gas_Buddy Champion Author Maryland Posts:25,967 Points:3,033,090 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Feb 1, 2011 6:56:21 PM Ignore Gas_Buddy Report Abuse It's me, probably, but while I understand that bobsworld once switched gas stations becuase they stopped using the food couponis from the no frills groceries, but I don't know what's meant by they stopped using the food coupons form the no frills groceries, and I don't understand about the discount on the drug store. Yes, it might have been a "win win" for you, but the gas stations not in the business for you; they're in the business to make money, trying to recoup expenses and investment, and make a profit after expenses. I'm not sure how "There lost ." It appears, to me anyway, that they had a customer that bought something at a discount and they had to make up the difference; if it was "win win" for you before, but it's not "win win" for you now, and you're paying regular cost, it would seem that it's not them, it's you that lost. You no longer get your "win win".

The idea is to generate some new traffic. DO you change grocery stores if they drop the price of peanut butter a quarter for a sale, and then raise it back?
