   Whatever the reason for the price increase it’s not at all likely that the cashier had anything to do with it, why take it out on him?

   50% of us are stupid enough to vote for rulers who oppose inflation indexing.

   Dr. Toon, people almost always take out their frustration on the person who has given them the bad news. After 40 years of working with the public in both retail and public service, I can assure you this is all too normal. Frankly, I thought Ben was rather polite. Many customers would have screamed at the clerk and stormed off muttering.

   That is so true. But on the other hand, who else is the customer going to have to grumble at?

    There is only one problem with the explanation. The timing. Unless the refined gasoline was held up the price you feel today is for what will be felt months from now by the supplier.

    or the store is trying to make more money and is giving that excuse so they can make more money.
