I've seen this in my area and other places. You really don't notice it that much until your eyes are opened up a bit , like watching this video. Went into a Shell station years ago and grabbed a small snack package of these little bite sized white sugar donuts , like a pack of six. Gotten them before for about $1.25 at the time. They guy told me they cost $3.30. I questioned him on it and he lied about the price going up. I left them on the counter. Went into another gas station another time and grabbed an Arizona ice tea. The one they sell for .99 cents. Put it on the counter expecting to pay $1.05 (.99+.06 state tax ) The guy wanted $1.10 - .99 ice tea , .06 tax , .05 can deposit. We have no deposit on ice tea , juices , or milk. Deposit only on soda , beer and water bottles. But not on ice tea. Tried explaining that to the guy and he refused. I pointed out that beverages have the deposit clearly have been embossed on top of the can or clearly marked on the label. The ice tea can had no such markings , he still refused. I left that can sitting right there. I've been in gas stations where they will cover the .99 price tag on an Arizona ice tea with a sticker that says $1.19. Arizona ice tea doesn't like people raising their price because one of the cores of their success is being known for .99 ice tea everywhere.
I was down in Kissimmee years ago driving down 192 which is loaded to the gills with places for tourists to spend money including endless souvenir shops. I pulled into one that had a ' American owned ' sign. Found a cheap t shirt there and some other stuff. Went to pay for it and told the lady there that I picked her shop out of many because of the American owned sign. She immediately got cranked up. Starts telling me how a bunch of the other shops in the area were foreign owned. The foreigners would get tax abatements lasting 5-6 years without paying taxes. Then would transfer ownership to another family member for 5-6 years , again and again , never paying taxes. Plus get all kinds of grants and business loans that where not available to Americans.
You only see these things when your eyes are opened a little bit.
They bought out a small gas station repair shop down the road a ways. Busted out all the walls and filled it with all different junk food plus a bunch of that vaping stuff. I will say there gas is 20 cents cheaper then any place else around here but that's just to get you to stop and hopefully go inside. I buy my gas but that's all.
There's no shortage of Indian owned gas stations in the KC area. As of now there are none in my small town. I would drive 10 miles to the next town of that was my only option. Thank God it's not.
After they got trained in from the locals, they fired all the local
The one local Gale that I like talking to every time I went in there. She had to go looking for another job
I won't buy gas there or anything else anymore. Unless i'm stuck, which I won't be
We have two BP stations in my area that they bought. Their gas prices are lower than any other station. Yet, you hardly ever see anyone stopping there. One person told me he stopped there, but they can barely speak English, can't make change, and argue with you if the change they give you is wrong.
Planned Parenthood warns funding cuts will result in birth of thousands of babies.
They get tax breaks white boys don't....They bought a local grocery store and convenience store here 2 yrs ago....The grocery store has already closed due to nobody supporting them.
The convenience store mainly snags out of area travellers, but most locals won't step foot in there....Myself included.
When travelling I stick my head in the door and look it over before spending $$.
Iam not sure if its true but I've was told they don't have to pay taxes for 7 years then they put the business in a family members name for another 7 and they can keep doing this every 7 years.like I said not sure if its true but there seems to be alot of foreigners that own small businesses.
Everybody needs to put a big pile of stuff on the counter and when they ring it up,say....Oh Im sorry, thought it would be cheaper-you dont have prices listed then walk out.
Some sort of muslims or indians run the local Shell here in town. Contrary to some of the comments though, all of the employees are white girls other than the owner. Ya know, come to think of it, even though there are a lot of blacks in that town, I don't think I've ever seen one employed there. Just whites.

The devil's greatest trick isn't making us think he doesn't exist. It's flattering us. So we don't see..... the devil is us.
