Excellent marketing gimmick, however.

While I worked at a gas station several years ago, I would have done something just as bizarre, if we had that type of sign.
I agree that it could also be good marketing. Everytime we did something odd at our store, we would see more business. It wouldnt suprise me if this guy still has his job, or if the manager/boss did this himself.Don't like what I say? Ignore me.

I also remember when I worked in a c-store, I "fixed" the pop dispensor. The sodas where always too watery, but when I adjusted it to what it was supposed to be, we sold more pop. To adjust it right, we had a special measuring cup that had 2 slots which you put under the spigot. If the 2 slots were equal, it was mixed right.
The sad thing was a stupid area manager came by and adjusted back to watery. The sales fell and he said don't touch it again. The guy had no brains. Shortly after that, the store was sold to another chain.73's, Kim
Everything happens for a reason I make up.

I agree if I saw that sign I would definately stop at that gas station to talk to the guy and probably buy gas.

Now imagine the turnover - how many people would actually stop and tell him about it. And maybe even buy something.
This is great PR.

When I was in high school there were 2 BBQ places next door to each other both owned by a "Whitt" and both named Whitt's and they had signs like "the REAL Whitt's barbecue" and "the FIRST Whitt's Barbecue" and they had a big price war, $.49 BBQ sammiches, we'd go there during driver's ed and for $2 you could get 2 sammiches, and a big coke and have enouch change left to buy a 25cent mello yello on the way home from school.

Yes I am making them up! I think I would be a good stand-up comedian. I would have to say my role model is Ray Romano. I do real life comedy real well. Heres some more!
