We have been traveling alot since the beginning of March. Big Bend, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce canyon, Tetons etc and several places on between. What we have come across alot is locals pricing on Gas, Propane and a few other items. Isn't this price guaging and on Gas specifically isnt there some type of law that prevents this? One place in Arizonia was $1 off a gallon on diesel for locals, so intead of $3.89 a gallon, locals got $2.89 a gallon. WTH

Take a dump in the Grand Canyon. That will teach them a lesson.

Move there and then you get local pricing, happens more than you think. I have a couple special buttons for real regulars for non happy hour times.

I suggested a local discount at our grocery store. My thought was that since I spend $10,000 per year at the store, it would be nice to have some sort of local card that knocks something off. We do have a lot of travelers through here who stop at the store on their way to Port A. They get the same price I do. That's ok but it would be nice if the locals could get a kickback.

I’ve spent a LOT of dough at that HEB there-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Who does not like like premium cars, premium gas, premium seating at sporting events, premium access is always great, I like premium fly rods etc. You would dig the premium wings at WAWIs place and get premium service!! That should be premium joy.
