Getgo

About the same as other locations. Do watch the prices. This part of Brunswick the gas prices are higher and sometimes Getgo is a few cents more. You have to figure if you have points to use to see if it worth it. Not open 24 hours.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Fuel Perks. Right, just buy a couple grand worth of groceries, and we’ll «give» you a few bucks off a tank of gas. This type of economic scheme should have expired with Asa Candler’s free Coke coupons, but no, here it is. People line up to receive the money they’ve spent over the past month, thinking it’s somehow become a gift! «Look, Buck! They’s a-​given me two bucks fitty off each and ever gallon o’ gas, and alls we-​uns had to do was spends us a few thousand times more than that over to the Giant Eagle!» Back in the F-​150, Beulah. Nascar’s on the radio.
That’s not what gives this joint a single, lonely star. That’s because, after waiting in line (again, I have to say, «In LINE?») while every lawnmower repairman and her husband fills ½ gallon plastic gas cans for the coming rapture, I go inside to secure my very own «perk.» Except I don’t have my card. Or my card number. But there’s hope, because they can look it up, using my phone number.
Except. It’s under my wife’s name. And, as it turns out, even though that’s my coin that bought all that stuff, somehow my name’s not on the card. So that two bucks fitty that should come off my tank price is not, in fact, available to me.
But. But. Do you imagine, good sir, that somehow I know the phone number of the woman, know her name, know the total amount available for discounted petrol, yet somehow am NOT allowed to use said discount?
Would that this stand-​up gentleman were available for the defense of our good nation, somewhere on the front lines, for that type of courage, that strict adherence to all things policy is what made this country what it is today. A service-​based nation in steady decline, no longer the envy but rather the laughing-​stock of every other civilized nation on this orb.
Stand down, Giant Eagle convenience store teller. Stand down.
