    Former gas station manager here.

    The vast majority of people fill up in the morning. Then they accused us of making them late for work.

    I shave my head. I have to shave it every two or three days or I look like a mangy old dog. I wait until just before I go to bed to shave it, at which point I’m too tired and I tell myself I’ll do it in the morning before work, which of course I never do. So I end up shaving it once every three weeks, and spend most of the time looking like a mangy old dog.

    I eventually hit upon the strategy of shaving a small patch somewhere on my head before I go to bed, which forces me to do the rest of the job in the morning before work. Except that I usually forget I did that and often go to work looking like a mangy old dog that somebody tried to shave before giving up. Fortunately I’m a school bus driver so I only scare children.

      I assumed it was about pricing

      here in Ontario, gas is maybe 10-15% cheaper in the morning

      couple that with american gas guzzlers

        For me it’s purely about having to get up a bit earlier and remembering that I need to get gas instead of running out of the house at the last possible minute. I have ADHD, maybe that explains it better.

      Yeah, I mean I get gas after dinner, sometimes, from too many veggies. So. I guess the joke makes sense. 😏

    I’m fortunate that a lot of stuff is east of me, and that leaving my house and going east on the nearby highway there’s a gas station right there.

    But on that off chance I have to go north, I’m screwed. And those are the days I leave it for tomorrow.
