USA Gasoline

Came here to get gas. Not sure why anyone bothers to go to any other station — USA Gas is the cheapest in the immediate vicinity. I have been coming here for decades.
One special perk here is that the washrooms for the station are located in a separate building on the outside — great for when people in your car drink too much pop. Yes, this matters. Nothing worse than going to a station late at night when the building is closed, only to find out you have to go pee in the bushes.

I was passing through on my way back to Canada at 3:30am. I actually only had an AT&T phone so was procrastinating at the border because I didn’t want to have to go into roaming which was expensive.
The USA gas seemed to have the brightest lights going for it at that dead time of night, which was a welcome beacon after driving around Blaine, WA (which is creepy as f&*^ in the middle of the night btw).
The place was dead and all you could hear was the humming of the electricity and every now and then a truck heading by in the distance.
There was an elderly gentleman working there, I’m not even sure he heard the door bell when I walked in. in any case… the whole place looked like it hadn’t really been updated much since the 50s. including the selection.
The exception being the milk which the Canadians come down in hordes to buy cheaply (Blaine and Bellingham is to Canadians what Tijuana is to Americans). I felt bad to leave without buying anything so i grabbed a dusty bag of chips which may or may not have been there during the first Bush administration and filled me up some fountain soda (the lids perplexingly didn’t fit the cups).
The man up front was nice enough and when I told him what milk actually cost on the eastern side of Canada he looked like he might have an asthma attack so I hauled ass out of there and headed out to deal with the asinine power drunk subset of society some people like to call border guards.
