I was always a bit suspicious of this. You see, I knew of a guy who ran some home improvement centers back in the days before computers. His people were instructed to accidentally add a quarter here and there on every line they were adding up on a customer's receipt. In the days of yuppiedom, time was money and money was time. So who has time to wait 20 minutes for fifty cents worth of gas to pump? I'm betting some people just hung up the pump and drove off.
But now that gas stations include huge automatic sex toys that automatically service you while you are waiting for your gas to pump, you can hit $60 in record time. Amazingly enough, we no longer have those silly little delays. Or is it just me? I don't think so.
Talk at you later. I'm off to the doc with Mrs. bwk.
