I work at the local service station where i live. You wouldn't believe the whinging that goes on about fuel prices. It's gotten to the stage where people will stop me in the street (out of uniform on my days off) and continue the rant.
Idiot: "When's fuel prices coming down?"
Me: "I don't know. It's got nothing to do with me, head office does all that. I just do what i'm told."
Idiot: "Well at least YOU get it at a discount."
Me: "No i don't. I have to pay the same prices you do. To be honest it doesn't really bother me."
Idiot: "What? It doesn't bother you that you have to pay a dollar fifty a liter for fuel?"
Me: "Actually it's a dollar sixty for me, i buy Ultimate. I try not to worry about the things i can't change. Saves stress.
Idiot: (Smacked fish expression) "Oh."
I mean honestly, you'd think they'd get the idea after the hundredth time. I DON"T SET PRICES!
