Fat, dumb and happy as usual this morning, I took my occasional jaunt over to my local Sam's club to buy some stuff and get some gas. It's been my experience here in the Phoenix area that Sam's has pretty much the best price on gas you can get.
Well, I tried to pull into the gas lanes at Sam's. The whole gas area was blocked off with yellow tape. The good news is the price of gas there. The bad news is that there isn't any. They said they were still waiting for the delivery truck. Well, *****.
I sauntered into the store to buy my items. First item: some Ensure vitamin shakes. I usually get a few cartons so I have a good supply at home. Arriving at the area where the stuff is shelved, I found it empty except for one lonely carton, and it wasn't the flavor I like. I bought it anyway - the very last one on the shelf. Well, ****.
On to the soft drink isle. We were out of root beer, which the wife and I really love - and guess what? They didn't have any. This was starting to get nasty. Well, ****.
The other stuff I could find turned out to be substantially more expensive than I had found it for in the past. Well, ****.
I then went over to the liquor area to get one of my favorite bourbons at the Sam's discount price. Guess what? No gottum, Mr. customer. Well ****.
One of my favorite treats is cherry turnovers, which Sam's has been selling for years. There was only one package left - I got the last one, and it was a day past the "sell by" date on the package. Well *****.
Much disgruntled, I started on the journey home. I was nearly out of gas, so I stopped at the nearest Shell station on the way home. The price of gas there was $3.699 a gallon. I needed 12 gallons, and the cost the pump rang up was $47.88. Well ****.
Just for giggles, will each of you post here what the going price in your area is for a gallon of gas????
I just stopped myself from posting a comment that would be sure to put me over the top of my allowable dings, and yes, it would have been political. Grrrr.
