Few years ago was filling up the car. The lady at the pump next to me was (griping) about the price going up. It had gone up 10¢. She commented that she should have filled up the day before. Asked her how much gas she was getting. She said 10 gallons. Reached in my pocket and handed her a dollar bill. Told her now she spent the same as she would have yesterday. She just stood there looking between me, the price on the pump, and the dollar bill I had just handed her. She was still looking confused when I said "Have a nice day," got in my car and drove off. Don't think she was very good at math.

The company I work for manufactures oil & gas equipment & controls. When people are (griping) about the price at the pump, the company is selling products and making money. We have 710 employees. 2 years ago we had laid off down to under 300.
